Happy Hallowe'en! And get this: it's 76 degrees here today. Not very Hallowe'eny; poor flannelled Liam is going to roast. Unfortunately, our pumpkins already did (or rather, they liquefied and collapsed upon themselves, leaving slimy puddles I got to clean up). But they were fun while they lasted.
As for the kids' costumes, I have a confession to make: Liam sometimes plays video games. This year he's Link from the Zelda games (I know: huh?) and I have to admit it's all due to my influence. I love those games. We don't play all that often, and I always wonder out loud if the bad guys have families and if we could solve these problems without violence, but I still feel guilty about getting Liam involved. It seems that sometimes I'm crunchy; sometimes I'm more....squishy. Ah well; he makes a cute fierce little elf, doesn't he?
And Olivia is my little witch. As in, "your little witch is hungry" and "your little witch wants some candy" and "your little witch wants some candy right now Mommy."
Be safe and have fun guys! Now I'm off to move the good candy to the bottom of the bucket.
76, really? Soooo sad about your pumpkins!
Shhhh...don't tell anyone, but Bubba plays video games too. Life is filled with give and take, IMHO.
As always, your kids are just adorable. I just don't know how you stand it. :) You must squeeze them often.

It was a warm night here as well. That's a load of candy! Ah, video games. We tease Ella all the time about how well she can speak Simlish. I wouldn't be surprised if we had to hold a Sims intervention. I think Liam-Link looks ready to fight evil, and your little witch looks anything but evil.

I've got you beat, it was like 89 degrees here on Halloween ;)
Olivia is such a cute little witch.

Kath, And how is it your little witch still manages to look like a little princess? Happy Hallowe'en, all. I feel safer with brave knights like yours,dreaming of subduing the dragons in our lives.

Oh. My. God. I want to eat them both up (preferably with a few of those peanut M&Ms I see Olivia holding). Hope you had a good time trick or treating!
