Halloween party

We just got back from a party at our neighbor's house down the hill behind us. What a great time! I was worried that Molly wasn't going to like it. It started around the time we would usually be getting her ready for bed and it was geared toward older kids. I figured we'd put on her costume and at least stop by, as a test run for tomorrow night.

Here she is, Chef Molly.
Aside from the shrieking of sugared up first-graders that greeted us when we walked through the door, nothing at the party seemed to bother her. She found the food table right away and slowly worked her way into a chocolate stupor, then washed it all down with a juice box. Good thing she wasn't driving home.

Here she is with her pirate friend Teddy, eating the remains of a giant chocolate witch's hat cake and frosting thing -- yow! She got it smeared it all over her costume and her face, which just made her costume look even better. :)



This video shows what we've been practicing to get ready for tomorrow night. I'd say there's a 99 percent chance she'll be frozen in fear the first time a friendly neighbor opens the door and hands her candy, but we're going to be prepared just in case.
