She wanted to go as Olivia, but we got to the costume store and she spotted the wall o' wings, and she just had to have the blue and purple ones with GLITTER. So, fairy princess again. For the third or fourth year in a row. I've lost track. But, hey, you're a girl, you're six, you gotta be a fairy goddamn princess, right?
Oh, and she also demonstrated her geek heritage.
While everyone was running around trick-or-treating, I ducked over to visit with the neighbors for a bit. One of the first things she asked was, "Hey, that wheel thing you use on the back porch. I keep forgetting to ask. What the hell is that?" It's my spinning wheel. Heeheehee. She wanted to know what I DID with it. I explained how I like to spin and knit socks, then wear them and feel clever. Her husband, an engineer, thought that WAS pretty clever.

She is so beautiful. I love her costume.
I had and still have the same hair as her. It was blonde as a child but I was curls all over my head. When it rains my hair gets BIG....LOL
She is so precious. Enjoy these years.
We had one trick or treater. It wasn't raining but it was cold. I'm going to bring the candy into work and force it on my coworkers. Last year we had lots of kids but not so many this year. Maybe the weather or maybe they've grown up. And it doesn't help that the town restricted t or t hours. 3-7 was our official time.
I would be a fairy princess every freaking year, too! LOVE the wings!!
The folks next door decorate big-time, and it was clear and dry, so we had 59 kids. Not bad for 6:00-8:30.
And love, love the spinning wheel story. Keep spreadin' the news.
Dremmel, the perfect tool for carving, sanding, and mixing margaritas.
It's the feeling clever part that's kept me knitting all these years, really.
My two year old was Calvin. I knit him a Hobbes. YEAH.
Love the feathered mask and WINGS. I want wings too, only mine will be red, orange and yellow, totally with sparkles.
We had 2 trick or treaters. What's up with that? I told Durwood to hide the candy so I don't eat it. He will, he's a good boy, uh, man.
Your neighbor doesn't know what a spinning wheel looks like? Do they live under rocks in Pigsbird?
Wonderful costume! I miss the Halloween fun. No trick or treaters came by so we have to eat all the candy. It's required by tradition you know :-)
*sniff*
We missed Halloween! Now it is November and I am full of "Wahhhhh."
