Halloween fun

The costumes were finished, prompting a battle between a fire-breathing dragon and a vampire, wielding a sword and shield.

On Friday (two days ago), we had 7 hours of downtown Halloween fun.  We met friends for lunch, then trick-or-treated up and down State St..  We also took a hayride around the state capitol building.  By the time we got back to the car, S was having a minor meltdown (and honestly so was I), but she was peacefully sleeping before we even got out of the parking ramp. 

The girls enjoyed trying to balance on a slack line set up by one of the businesses.

Then, (yes, the same day), C, A, and I went to a party with our local unschooling group, complete with bobbing for apples, singing, a costume parade, and lots of fun games.

Then at the end of a loooooong day, the girls all curled up on Papa's lap while he read A Cloak for the Moon.

Today, at a Halloween birthday party for a very good friend, A came as her alter ego:

Happy Halloween, everyone and good night.
