My across-the-aisle coworker came as Luke-on-Degobah (which he was kind of bummed was not very recognizable by itself) with his 3-month-old as Yoda on his back, his wife as R2D2 and their daughter as Leia. Pretty cute!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Love it.

Oh, I also wanted to tell you specifically, Jesse: my boss dressed as Wonder Woman and we had to google up video clips for her of Linda Carter doing the spin, she had never seen it. She didn't know the bracelets deflect bullets!

Lots of little bees this year, unsurprisingly. Was worried I was gonna be stuck with a ton of candy, but starting at about 6:45, it was on. Probably had about 70 kids so far.

not your mom's socks.
I'm upstairs in my Emily Dickinson costume* with a basket to lower down should anyone brave the bowl of candy at the steps. But no. Alas.

This stinks. DH should send me cute photos of my kid. Someone tell him to do that. Grump.

She got into it once she knew about it.
If anyone is wondering, I have gotten hardly any actual work done today. And I'm gonna stop even trying to work pretty soon so I can pack up my decorations before I go home.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, hippocampus, may you soon be showered with candy and pics of cuteness.
We had somewhere around a billion kids. At this hour we are now getting the kids from miles away with parents crawling in cars collecting large barrels or trunks full of candy. At 8 PM I am turning out the lights. I don't mind the teens and all that, but the little kids that are driven miles by greedy parents, not so much. They still get candy, but I get to grumble to my internet friends.

We ran out of candy and shut the lights a fee minutes ago.
