For Halloween they came up with excellent costumes: Nelly created “Princess Peter Rabbit” which involved a princess dress, bunny ears and tail, and painted on nose and riskers; Scottie was a “Princess” but carried a cat tail in her hand instead of putting it on (also, I painted her face with a little cat nose and whiskers and she looked in the mirror and beamed and started saying “Meow, meow, meow!!!” to herself in total delight and amazement); Teddy was the cutest batman; and Charlie wanted to be “A real ghost,” by which he meant one wearing a sheet, so we cut out eyes and he was a ghost. We went to the party and Parade at Blue Igloo, the parade at Horace Mann, and then had everyone to our and Elena’s houses for pizza and drinks before trick or treating. The perfect Halloween. Oh, and MJ was prince charming (though he looked a bit like a valet) since the girls kept asking him to be a prince and I was Snow White. Huck was her usual tutu-wearing self.
