I forgot to post the girls from Halloween! We had a lovely, mellow night...the LDS church a block north holds a chili party (fry bread, a gazillion kinds of chili, and root beer) every Halloween for the neighborhood (and the congregation, I assume). Thanks to nice weather, it's in the parking lot!
We went there, ate easily 8 kinds of chili (we put 2 kinds in each bowl just to sample lots)...the girls loved seeing all the costumes - who am I kidding - so do we :)
After the dinner, we returned home and Gma S, Aunt B and soon-to-be Uncle M took the girls around the area trick-or-treating. Upon their return, the girls dumped their loot, sorted out the dyed candies without being asked, and sampled from the remaining "good candy." They were so excited to hand out treats to the kids who came to our house...as I'm sure my faithful readers surmised, we don't buy candy to pass out...kids chez nous get play-doh, pencils, sticky rats, and other silly toys like that. This year we also found little bags of pretzels we handed out.
The girls also pass back out the "bad candy," a practice I'm torn about promoting...but since I don't run the diets of everybody else, I let it go.
All in all, a wonderful evening.
Without further ado...the princesses:

Oh, my, your sweet little princesses look so beautiful. I like your choice of treats for handouts.Halloween needs a make-over. Hugs to all.
They look so gorgeous!
I love your bad candy recycling!
Glad to be reading your blog too :)
Sounds like a blast...did you get the dresses at a thrift store? They look like flower girl dresses, very pretty.
We got to eat the candy, no matter how bad for our health, but we had to unwrap everything and cut it into little bits to make sure there were no razor blades inside. One of those scares going around when we were children...of course I think it was probably not even true. (Rixa)
They're so cute and you're so good about the undyed candy. We just eat it all...for days...is my NFL card revoked now? I like your blog!
