After being Queen of Fuss all day, Matilda was very well behaved for Trick or Treating. She thanked everybody (zombie style).
Fortunately we've got Belvedere Street nearby so can bumrush it and hit like 25 houses in 45 minutes and now we're back home.
I scored a Heath bar for JZ and an Almond Joy for myself. Matilda seems intent on taking three licks off every Tootsie Pop.
We bought no candy and CJ didn't go TorT'ing. I'm feeling candy deprived.
My clock says it is now 7:00...it should stop at 7:33. I hope.
eta - stop zooming, I mean.
ONE. One group of kids.
Okay, so we didn't get home till almost 7. BUT DAMN IT, I HAVE CANDY. COME AND GET IT, BITCHES!

WOO! We just got a gaggle of trick or treaters and pressed candy on them. MWAHAHAHA. Might get one of the two bags gone after all.
Hee. Your hair is looong now. And lush. One of the reasons I won't go back to long hair is that while I had a lot, it was so fine, never looked that good. And your offsprung as ridic cute as she was when born. That child has golden photo genes going on.
My friend Christine reports that she saw someone on the bus dressed as the Peanut Butter Jelly Time Banana.
We went to our neighborhood Halloween parade this year (which is basically all the local kiddies dressed up walking around the block) and saw a lot of great costumes. My favorite was a family who dressed up as candy - the husband was a chocolate bar, the mother was a jar of peanut butter, and their toddler was a Reeses cup. DED FROM TEH CUTE.
This is my hair, without three cans of blonde hairspray: [link]
Thanks, sarameg! I think she's adorable and that the camera loves her, but I'm biased. As for my hair, it's stupidly thick hair. I was going to put it up in a bun with the costume change, but it looked like I'd sprouted a second head.

My friend Gus did that a couple years ago.
Yeah, I was looking at your whole stream and being envious. It's a lovely color regularly. When I had long hair, a ponytail was the diameter of a quarter, but there was so much of it. The shorter can actually achieve volume, so...bad hair days are pretty much gone now that a) short and b) have had a stylist for a decade whose cuts grow out awesome and can even look awesome when I do nothing.
I always wanted thick dark hair. Can't do anything for the former, and for the latter, well, with my complexion, Feria's french roast is as dark as is flattering.
