The Real Halloween

Here she is after sleeping in sponge rollers last night (it actually mostly worked!)
And here she is after I forced her to tour the entire parking lot at the trunk or treat.  

Once she had a sucker in each hand and a few more in her basket, she was begging to stop.  I gritted my teeth every time she chose an awful penny candy from a bowl overflowing with Butterfingers and Kit Kats and M&M's.... sigh.  
I started coaching - "Find me a yellow one."  Hahahaha.... 

And here I am, headed off to a neighbor's party where I had to dress up.  Check out my cool tat.
 
I'm going to be something with sexy tights next year, I already decided.  At the (very dark) party I asked a girl if I could touch her vintage tights and she laughed and said "Sure" - only to find that it was a stripe drawn up the back of her legs with a black marker!  GENIOUS!  She said at the car shows her husband goes to, the perma-pin-up models actually have that tattooed on their legs.  Whoa!  I'll settle for sexy tights.

Happy Halloween!

Both of your costumes are cute. :) I'm impressed that you got Adrie to sleep in curlers! (Not that I really know anything about that with boys, but I could imagine the fuss many kids would make at that age).

Hahaha, I love Adrie's content face. At least you know she's not gonna get obese from loving candy too much, right?? I miss you. Haven't seen you in two days.

Maddie only chose smarties, dum dums, and bubble gum. I wanted to tell her to get something else but I didn't want to encourage her to be picky. Kids, you gotta love them!

What a beautiful butterfly! Be happy she didn't want much candy - my kids couldn't get enough of it! We may need to have it "disappear" soon, just to end the constant whining for candy at all hours of the day.

Thanks for your comments on my blog. I don't think google reader can access private blogs, but just fyi I usually blog about once or twice a week.
