Halloween aftermath

Queen Butterfly trick-or-treating at Oma's house
Prompted by a question from G, here's how Halloween night ended up for us. Our girl went as a Queen Butterfly, a title and concept of her own. She played the role well, truly becoming a nectar-infused monarch. We hit a couple of neighborhoods, including a particularly over-the-top neighborhood populated by many of her school friends.

 She took on pumpkin design for the first time this year, drawing a three-eyed alien face on a pumpkin, subsequently carved by Daddy. She also contributed art direction for the pig pumpkin.

After a successful haul on her part, and sometime late in the night, the candy fairy visited our house. The candy fairy exchanged all the excess candy for a cool new Cat in the Hat book, much to her delight when she discovered it in the morning. Thanks, candy fairy!

  4. She's been big on aliens recently, and as you know, aliens have three eyes.
