Here are a few images from our fabulous annual Halloween party. What a perfect night – crisp and cool, but not so cool that the kids had to wear coats over their costumes like we always had to do as kids. I still remember having to wear my boring old coat over my spectacular Isis costume when I was seven. Thanks, global warming! All the kids ate pizza and cupcakes before trick-or-treating en masse (I’m sure the neighbors loved it when we swarmed their houses), and everyone had a great time. I apologize to all the neighbors for my daughter announcing “I’m a bee!” and then walking straight into all their houses like she owned them – looking for more candy, I guess. I didn’t get pictures of all the kids at the party, because my little bee was keeping me too busy to carry the camera around. I could have carried the camera and my bee at the same time, but that pesky glass of wine kept getting in the way. I don’t think I even saw my son, Jack Sparrow, the whole night, except as a blur running past.
And many thanks to all the guests who didn’t make too much fun of my last-minute Kmart witch costume that William picked out. I don’t really think witches wore red and black velvet dresses with corset-style tops, but everyone was kind enough not to point that out.
See you all next year!
