A puppy and a baby leopard. So sweet. I thank my lucky stars that I have managed to avoid a princess-themed costume for one more year (those tomboy genes sure come in handy!). I am also thankful that Gracie has forgotten that for several months prior to October, she insisted that she was going to be an otter for Halloween. (An otter? I don’t think you can buy that costume at Target!)

Last night I took the girls to our first annual community Halloween party. Grace and a friend made spooky paper-napkin ghosts, decorated treat bags, played ‘pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern,’ and stuck their hands in ‘yucky stuff’ (like bowls of rubber spiders and cooked spaghetti), while Tess clutched a cookie and tried to figure out what in the heck was going on. At least I didn’t make her wear a sparkly dress – that would have really given her a complex!
