All Hallow's Eve
31/10/08 07:47Avocado has a dizzying schedule today (which she laid out, with photo-aids, and printed for the delectation of her partners in Halloween-crime): school, then trick or treating at Robin Williams's house (he gives big candy bars), then a school fair, then a dance (that none of them want to go to), then dinner at a friend's house, then serious trick or treating, then a sleep-over So I won't even see her until tomorrow.
She is Alice (I hope that's clear from the costume, upon which I lavished much care--including ironing it with starch last night!) and looks refinedly faux-Victorian except for the hair, which she insisted in putting in pigtails. She asked me please to put "Eat Me" and "Drink Me" labels on her lunch, which I did. She is wearing the costume to school of course, which means that by the time she hits the streets for candy acquisition she'll be rumpled and less starchy. Oh Well; she'll still be cute.
Sarcasm Girl is going as "Guitar Hero." Film at eleven, but she too will be out at a party all evening. For the first time in mumble years, the Spouse and I can dole out candy without worrying about who is going where and will be back when. I consider this the upside of growing older: they do too.
