Run Fox Run

Halloween always begins with the creative side of things. Pumpkins must be carved and decorated. Costumes must be assembled and tried out. All must be in readiness so that the orgy of candy and excitement can be fully realized. Leda both painted a pumpkin and instructed Daddy on how to carve the others. Then we put them outside so the squirrels could munch them.

Leda selected Tinkerbell as her costume theme this year. This idea was fully realized in her mind with the requirements of a magic wand and sprinkleable pixie dust. Many dust recipes were consulted until Tinkerbell’s own private mix was fashioned with a blend of 13 secret spices for Leda’s use. Unfortunately, no object was made to fly, regardless of its happy thought disposition.

Second kids can’t catch a break, and Cleo’s costume situation is a prime example. Though she looks smashing as an astronaut this year, Cleo must come to grips with the fact that her costume is a Leda hand-me-down from two years ago. Good things was, she didn’t seem to mind too much. Also, matching her daddy brought a smile to her face. We had a most fun Halloween. Photographic evidence supports in the gallery.
