yes, i send out Halloween cards. why not? otherwise, despite all that time+money, three days later all you have left are ripped costumes, empty candy wrappers, and a leftover bowl of tootsie rolls.

this year the girls were Yoda and Princess Leia (other ideas we tossed around were “Mario and Luigi”, “Wonder Woman and Supergirl”, “Poodle-skirt girl and poodle,” and of course “Thing 1 and Thing 2″). i chose the costumes for cuteness, despite the fact that neither girl has seen any Star Wars movies.

for the parties + trick-or-treating, emma chose to be her new favorite princess, Jasmine (thank goodness for undershirts to alleviate full belly-exposure. despite the appearance of one kindergartener wearing a tight spandex cat suit, “age appropriate” is the way to go around here). oh, she had a blast.

have a fun day, everybody. xo
