Halloween was a remarkable success.
Quite coincidentally, my children wore very personality-reflecting costumes.
Claire was a cat. Have you ever heard that felines are often thought to be temperamental and slightly fickle? But lovable in a way nothing else can be?

Kate was Minnie Mouse. We all know that Minnie Mouse is adorable and sweet — yet not too syrupy or saccharine — in a way no human could be. Until Kate came along, that is.

Amy as Tinkerbell. Hmmm… let’s see. The infamous little fairy is known to be ill-tempered, stubborn, and vindictive. And then suddenly helpful and sweet beyond description. Yep, that pretty much nails Amy’s personality on the proverbial head.
Tink: The Pre-Candy Calm
In addition to the kids and the candy, we attended an awesome party in our neighborhood, where all kinds of tasty food seemed to be everywhere. And I made myself a big pitcher (actually, I just used the blender carafe– why dirty any more dishes than you have to?) of margaritas, bellied up to the fire, and listened to all the craziness that defines the holiday here in my little corner of the world.
Doesn’t get any better than this. Seriously.
