Well, here is Thanksgiving time and I'm just getting around to posting about Halloween. I really don't know how that happens. Truly, I sit down to write something and then I get distracted by something else. Something else like, laundry or dishes or grocery run -- you know - the mundane things in life.
SO here are the girls on Halloween evening. 
We went to the mall with PaPa and Grandma Sylvia. Erica seemed to enjoy looking around and seeing everything. We did not beg for candy for her. As far as I'm concerned, if they can't walk themselves then they really shouldn't be getting the candy. Jessica did pretty well about saying "trick or treat" and "thank you". Not sure one can tell, but she wore her little red cowboy boots with her Snow White costume. That's my "Cowboy Princess" ya'll.
I was amused to see that Jess has figured out that it is all about the loot. She politely said "thank you" most of the time -- but not until she looked in her bag to see what had been given to her. We stayed for about an hour -- which was really as long as any sane person can stand. And they were exhausted getting home.
Now, on a slightly side note, I have an issue with Halloween Costumes. Particularly with the whole "Slutification" of Halloween. I saw way too many teenagers out. that's fine, I can get passed that. But when you're coming to the mall, I really don't need to see the naughty nurse, or pillaged pirate wench or sexy bo peep. And what I find worse is that the costumes are sold as sort of trashy. It's one thing to modify or make up your own, but actually selling the costumes ready to wear already lloking like some Cartoon Fantasy Porn--- EEK.
Okay, I'm just old. And maybe jealous that I can't get away with wearing anything like that.
