Happy Halloween!!

Aren't we scary! When Micaela asked me what I was going to be for Halloween I immediately said witch thinking that it was the easiest costume. I was shocked when she said she wanted to be a witch too. I was even more shocked when she actually stuck with it and didn't change her mind and want to be a princess at the last minute. One phase down, many, many more to go. We decided we were going to be the Wicked Witches of Williamsburg (and then she changed hers to Matthew Whaley - her elementary school). She even asked the other kids if they had heard of the W.W. of M.W. and a few said yes - liars, we made that up! :) Halloween was good. We went to a neighborhood party where I knew no one but Micaela knew everyone and we found a group to go trick-or-treating with. After eating 2 chicken nuggets for dinner, Micaela was ready to go (no time for real food, there was candy out there). The group took me to a part of the neighborhood I had never been to and we were lucky to find our way home. After a little over an hour, her bucket was full and my back was tired so we called it quits. Nothing like little kids running all over the place to wear you out. I slept like a rock, so did she. I'm proud of myself, except for about 8 or 9 Now-&-Laters (and maybe a few smarties) (and maybe a few sweet tarts) I've kept away from most the candy. Here are the rest of the pictures, sorry they came out blurry, I'm not a good photographer.

Tell Micaela she looked pretty.

And you need an Alfred/a ticker for your blog. Lilypie.com

You may not be a great photographer but it sure sound like you are turning into a great mom

P.S. i think you should have been the good witches of williamsburg & school. however, gabe says there's no such thing, all witches are satan worshippers.

needless to say, cc won't ever be a witch.

and Kurt says that the corrupt MPs at Bragg are just a product of their chain of command :)

Mari,

The problem is you haven't properly educated Gabe on Witches.

They're not all satan worshipers.

Also, if there are no good witches, who the hell helped Dorothy?
