Here’s our daughters in their Halloween costumes.

Aren’t they just lovely? Trick-or-treat was last night here and they got lots of ‘Aww! Your mommy made you such a pretty costume!’ and ‘Are they twins?’

I stayed in with the boys, who we briefly considered dressing as devils but we a.) thought of it too late and b.) it would have been a wash since Bede wouldn’t wear devil horns for more than 10 seconds max.

Anyway, they had a good time. Sean took them up my parents’ street and there were lots of other children. I think they felt very ‘halloweened’.

This morning I woke up and the girls had come in to the dining room, found their bags of loot and laid it all out. I’m not sure how much they ate, but Faith looked up at me as I meandered blearily in and said brightly “Good morning Mama! We thought we’d have some candy.” and judging from the number of wrappers I found they won’t be low on sugar for a few days, heh. I had sorted it last night to get rid of the chokey junk, thank goodness. Like the house giving out Brach’s Starlight mints. Sheesh.

(Note to self: when attempting to monitor candy intake in 3 and 4 year old girls, it is best to store the candy out of their reach.)
