happy halloween!

Between her costume and my listening to 1920's jazz while editing, this post has gone very vintage.

 

We had an extra fun Halloween this year. There were a lot of families out in our neighborhood and we ran into lots of friends from school. After trick-or-treating we joined some neighbor-friends at their house for more good fun. Geoff and I clinked cups every time we saw an Elsa.

Each year Chloe looks most forward to visiting our neighbor who hands out brand new books to every trick-or-treater She is so generous and always seems to know the perfect book to chose for our girl. This year it was "Unicorn Magic." Such a special treat. And the neighbor across the street who is a former teacher gave her a notebook, ruler, pencils, bubbles, and a book. Which reminds me we need to write a thank you for that.

It rained which was fantastic! Most everyone had finished trick-or-treating by then, so it didn't spoil a thing. I left the party for a bit to check out a haunted maze which scared the crap out of me, which is precisely what I was after.  All in all, an excellent time. And I have to say, I think everyone we visited (especially the elders) was really happy to see a little flapper, something they recognized amongst all more fleeting television, movie, and game characters that were out. It was fun for them.

Yay to it feeling like Fall!
