Happy Ghoul Year (belated)

When S-phie chose her Goth vampiress costume and started wearing it all over the house in early September, it warmed my heart. The girl is prissy and loves Barbie and Disney princesses and Polly Pockets and all of that pink plastic shit. But, alas, she has a dark side: she loves bats (the idea of them and learning everything about them from books but is scared if we see real ones - prissy still) and vampires and mummys and the Ghost of Cleopatra (whatever/whoever that is). So, when she insisted that the whole family dress up as vampires, I was all over it. And although preparing for it exhausted me, it was some serious family fun.








p.s. There were 867 trick-or-treaters on our street.
