A Doc, a Princess, and Darth Vader...Oh, My!

Thankfully, Hurricane Sandy didn't dampen our Halloween! We started off the evening with some jack-o-lantern quesadillas and eyeball soup (the girls couldn't stop giggling), and then we were ready to hit the neighbors up for some candy.

Kaitlyn raced as fast as she could from house to house, but she was very gracious when it came to sharing doorbell duty with her siblings. They all got rather impressive hauls for 45 minutes of trick-or-treating...and then we all took turns passing out candy at home. Fun all around. Now...to bed!!!

Sneak Peek

Claire has been so excited about dressing up as Merida from Brave for Halloween. Despite the fact that she was too frightened to watch the actual movie, she spends half her day riding her stick horse to the soundtrack and playing "Bear Kingdom" in the yard. Last week, she even sat still for half an hour and let me wrap her hair in rags to get Merida's trademark curls. I thought the final effect was rather stunning.
