This week was Halloween, but the Halloween festivities started the week before with the Monster Mash at the girls' school. This was to be Carrigan's last Monster Mash, but she decided that she was already too cool for school and elected to stay home. Since it was also game 1 of the World Series (that the Diamondbacks would go on to lose in 5 games), Elsie and I were on our own for the night.
While Carrigan didn't think it sounded like fun, Elsie, on the other hand, had a blast! She liked visiting the different booths and playing games for candy, but what she really loved was seeing and hanging out with all her friends from school. She is already looking forward to next year.
On Tuesday, we celebrated the big day with mild, dry weather, perfect for trick-or-treating. After some spooky mummy dogs for dinner, Merrick, having decided that he is too old for trick-or-treating, went out for a night on the town with his cousin, Colvin. They did trick-or-teat to a few select family and friends and then tooled around at Home Depot, measuring themselves and "rating faucets".
I took the girls out with a couple of Carrigan's friends on Halloween. This year Carrigan was a vampire and Elsie decided to ditch her planned hula girl costume in favor of the Jasmine costume from the closet. Like I said, the weather was great and the girls made out like bandits in a short amount of time.
