Hello, Ween!

Just a short post tonight --- there have been requests for pictures of this year's Halloween costumery, so here they are, after a picture of Kirsti's latest award, the Golden Flyswatter, awarded for valorous achievement in the struggle against the airborne stinging insect menace! 

(Kirsti: There were two wasps inside the house.  It was just me and Maggie at home.  I am very scared of bees outside, so you can imagine how I was with wasps inside the house, with a curious toddler...there were tears before I steadied myself enough to vacuum their guts up.  Anyway, on to Hallowe'en!)

As usual, I won't straight-out tell you what our costumes were, only that there is a theme.  These two probably give it away anyway -- this one's a little easier than last year.

Would you believe she put those glasses on herself?

Don't want to leave anybody out! This costume will be most obvious in April.

Somebody got my sign and hat to send me a message at the ward Halloween party!

Unfortunately, we didn't get more pictures at the party, but it was pretty fun!  We were late (the last chili there, I think), but still won the award for the spiciest chili.   Our downstairs neighbors (who cater) won the tastiest; we like to keep the chili awards in this house!  A certain little Magpi helped her dad put chairs away under the stage, too -- she saw me pushing the cart and just walked up and started pushing, too!  Good times were had by all.  More later.  Maybe.
