Halloween Weekend

Okay, so we are not taking as many pictures as we used to. So no picture of our "what you get when you cross a pirate with a fairy" daughter. She wore an eyepatch, fairy wings, fairy skirt, and held a magic wand.

Instead, I will share with you Halloween pictures from the past.

Halloween at 8 months old.


Recycled elephant costume at 1 yr 8 months.


Chinese princess at 2 years 8 months.


We were in Italy for Halloween in 2006 so she was an American girl in Florence.
In 2007 she was a ghost.


And last year in Switzerland she wore her Sleeping Beauty costume.


We went to a neighbor's house for a party and group trick-or-treating in the building. It was raining outside so it was nice to stay inside and dry.

On Sunday Geek Girl and I went to the Spooky Sounds family concert at the Kennedy Center. Here's Geek Girl wrapped up warm waiting for the metrotrain.



Unfortunately things did not go as well as I hoped. Geek Girl does like classical music. But I guess I forgot that sitting still and watching instruments is maybe not as interesting for her. And she was tired and hungry. Heck, in the past I've gone to opera and plays, but not as many instrumental performances. Lynda Carter was the narrator for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Wonder Woman has aged well. In hindsight we should have just left the performance when she started fidgeting too much but oh well. Live and learn.
