Going to bed now, but here are Ellie costume pictures. She did very well and even picked out some candy for herself (not that she gets to eat it, but she liked the way it crinkled.) [link]
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

So cute!
And Susan, I completely agree and hope that you can be queen of the world to make this come into being.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Oh, man, we have a bunch of very cute babies. I love the pink Cthulu power, and Annabel is so pretty and getting so big. Ellie makes a lovely pea.
Kara has collapsed, exhausted, into bed after a fortifying cup of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. Tomorrow is swimming day. Aidan and I won't get to go. They don't want to see him again until he's no longer a snot factory. Dang it.

Art Crawl!!!
Omigod! The cuteness!! It's TOO MUCH.
Continued Halloween report: a small hockey player and his younger brother (costume unrecognized by me); a page and then later two nuns (seemed at the upper age limits for trick or treating -- but we must get rid of the candy) and a knight.
It's raining now and we have less than ten minutes of trick-or-treating left.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There is a trick-or-treating curfew?

Because books.
There's a curfew here -- "official" trick-or-treating time is six to eight. And Stephen said when he and Ben went back out, porch lights started going off shortly after eight.

Cutie peapod!
So far we've just had one trick-or-treater, a boy in a horror movie-type mask. I looked to see if Annabel was scared, but she had her best intrigued-yet-playing-it-cool expression. A look I've seen many, many a time on my dad and VCOB.
Time to get her changed into costume.

Susan, on the late-talkers thing: I didn't really talk much until pretty late. I said "mama," "dada," some approximation of my sister's name, and "more." And that was it. Then, around 22 months, suddenly started talking in complete sentences. The first thing I said that wasn't just a single word was "Watch out for the dog doo." Never went through any of the things with two-word or three-word sentences. (I was just on the phone with my mom and asked her about this, and she said that she figures I was just waiting to get it right before I tried it in front of other people.)
