HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I'm happy to report that T did not look quite like Bill the Cat...but it was a close thing! I was happy with my efforts at facepainting from the eyebrows down. Eyebrows up? Not so much. I also learned its a hell of a lot harder for a right handed person to paint the left side of someone's face. The girls at disney are truly professionals!

Anyway, we lost out ears headband, so we improvised with pigtails.

We headed over to trick or treat my parents, then to my friend Marie's house, which is nearby. Marie had lots of fun things planned for the kids...she made green spaghetti in a bowl, and put toys in it. the idea was to stick your hands into the "worms" to get the "eyeballs". The kids decorated cupcakes like witches, painted faces on pumpkins that John then carved, and of course there was the highlight of the evening....trick or treating.

Like last year, T went running at top speed from street to door and then again from door to street. I don't know where she gets her energy. She got lots of candy, and hasn't asked to eat anything tonight except for 2 starburst. I think letting her gorge last night did the trick. She doesn't seem to have any interest in it any longer.

So, we're home. T is watching the new Tinkerbell movie and working a craft. Picked up one of those purses with a picture on it that one colors. Tiana-themed. So, T is quite content.

Dot, who is in the air as I type this on her way to Manila, will be annoyed to learn that I forgot my camera tonight. Not to worry, though, we took pics with Marie's camera. Just need to wait til she sends them to us.

Hope everybody had a really spooky night!

Sara was initially a bit cautious about trick or treat, but got into it. She also seems to have had her fill of candy.
Can you believe how hot it was? We were at a festival yesterday and I was sweating bullets. Love your dog story.....;)

T looks mad.

You're nuts, she was so thrilled she couldn't stand it.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
