It was a very merry Halloween

"Hurry, mama, hurry and finish my hair so we can go!" "We are going to fill these purses with more candy than they have in the stores!" (squeal) "Hi, my name is Reecake" (not too shabby considering that we were all still in pajamas minutes before this pic was snapped) "Just call me Rocake" "Let's go, let's go!!!!" (Ok, even I have to admit I had a little trouble telling them apart in the dark last night. Ro is the cupcake on the left and has on brown tights, Ree is the cupcake on the right with white tights) "Cupcake purses? Check. Headbands? Check. Glowstick necklaces? Check. Alright, let's roll!" "I can't believe that mama and daddy want us to stop for a family picture. Come on folks, time is candy!" "Whoohooo, we're free, we're free, look out neighbors here we come!" "Wait, what do we do now? Oh yeah, the doorbell, where is that doorbell again?" "You want to take another picture?! Are you people nuts? Our bags are woefully empty, let's get a move on!" "Hey how did all that candy get in our bags? We tried to eat it faster than people could hand it to us." The morning after... "No mama, we don't have any time for breakfast, we have extremely important candy-sorting duties this morning." (I love Ro's tongue in this picture) "Mama said we could pick out one piece to eat for zuhlowt (dessert) today, how will we ever decide?" "Hey, what happened to dis punkmim decoration, mama? I tink Ree did it. No I tink Ro did it." "We is in a parade, we frow candy to everyone." "Why did we have to get dressed and get ready to go? We really just want to stay home and play with our candy." "Hey, are we missing candy? Do you think mama ate some of dis?" It was a fun night. The girls were beyond excited, and loved every single thing about Halloween except for the people who answered their doors dressed in scary costumes. (They still took candy from those folks, just gave them the extreme stinkeye while doing it.) One of the funniest things was when Ree ran up to a door and got her candy, then ran back to us while Ro ran up. The dude looked at Ro, figured she'd already gotten her share, and closed the door in her face. We nearly died laughing as we escorted them both back up to the door to explain that there really were two of them. Anyhow, the girls had a ball last night and woke up today in I-ate-too-much-candy-and-stayed-up-three-hours-past-my-bedtime moods. It was a little rough this morning, but they're napping now and we expect to see a return of their sweet selves this evening. Just in case, I'm spending naptime with a relaxing glass of wine and some pilfered candy. I've already picked out all the See's candy and have my eye on some M&Ms next...
