Frenzied Daddy

It’s the beginning of the last leg of the year, coming around the corner with Halloween and right in to Thanksgiving and then Winter Solstice and the DQ’s birthday ( actually 1/4 ). We were out celebrating Halloween tonight and the girls were fantastic. The TT was dressed as a pretty cute, ok, I’ll say it, adorable, kitty cat and the DQ was dressed as a wizard. Wizardess. Naw, I’m gonna stick with “Wizard.” I’ll post pictures later.

They each got a huge bucket full of candy. We went to about twice as many houses as we usually go to for Halloween, but the girls were extremely excited, and we went down a couple of new streets (one of which had strobe lights, a spectre hanging from the eaves, a spidery tunnel to the door and a live demon in the bushes). Then we drove to Airy and Aleck’s house and trick-r-treated them too. Interrupted their dungeons and dragons game (sorry guys).

One precious highlight was when the girls turned around and came down some steps, and the TT tripped. She caught herself, only tripped down one stair really, and came to us and said “that was an eeeeeevil stair.” She had me in stitches most of the trek.

Hope you all had a great Halloween and that you’re looking forward to a terrific November.

Twenty years ago, thanks Alli, when I was in college, I ate at the cafeteria. Worked there too. When it was animal cookie day, the workers would dump out a huge box of those pink and white frosted animal cookies and the students would swarm over them, filling paper cups with the little critters and taking them back to their rooms.

Sadly, those days are over
