I will attempt to get some Halloween pix of Lu up soon but we absolutely could NOT find the digital camera (I may have packed it during the fires) and had to buy a disposable at Rite Aid. This year, because Lucy is a bit older, the costume stakes went up and there was curling of her butt length hair with enough hair spray to hold Diana Ross' hair in place during a hurricane. I made sure to throw her in the shower before bed because I feared her eyes would be stuck shut by morning if she slept on all that spray. There was also makeup application and the right shoes to match the outfit, be comfortable for walking and not make her too hot or cold. Because we bought her fairy outfit a couple months ago, we couldn't for the life of us find the green wings that went with it. Luckily, any decent fairy mother keeps a backup pair of wings for just such an occasion and so we pulled out the purple ones and went on our merry way.
Then, we walked and walked and walked...all over Crown Hills which, go figure, has just a few hills. Then we visited with "Pa Tom." By the time we got back I was exhausted but stayed up with a friend visiting from out of town until after midnight. When I finally fell into bed, and I mean fell, the cat started to meow, Danny decided to get up and watch TV and the dog sneaked into my room. I don't know what time I finally fell asleep but I passed out and slept hard.
Halloween was fun and Lucy looked gorgeous, I'm a little jealous. I'm glad it's over for the year and as usual, I'm sure the candy will find its way to the top of the refrigerator where we'll notice it next Halloween and then throw it away. I think Lu's about the thrill of collecting the candy more than eating it. She even told one lady that she wasn't allowed to chew bubble gum...that's my girl!
