trick or treat

 

and, then we had our official costume night. with a couple of snags of course. as we were getting ready after dinner, Chris called to me from the other room. "Polly, come look at this." So I did, specifically at the goop coming out of Brixton's eye. Yup, pink eye. So the friendly monster went with Papa to the ER to trick-or-treat for antibiotics and Unity and I went out. (Don't worry she promised to share her candy with him and he was the hit of the not-at-all-busy ER.)

 

 

 

                             Our street is too busy for trick or treating so we went to our friend Lena's house.
                             Lena is in Unity's class and also attends Meeting with us. She's a fairy and
                             her friend Ali is a crocodile.

                                   Dancing in the streetlights......

                              Then we went to see Reuben. He was the Titanic.

                                       Wait, you need more of that costume don't you? I thought so.         
         

                                     amazing, I know.

 

Then Unity and Reuben performed a little song and dance routine for us, that I like to call

"Burning off the sugar."

 

and now, to bed.

 

Happy Halloween.

Butterflies

I spent the last four days in Tacoma for a gathering of North Pacific Yearly Meeting, a regional group of Quakers. I went alone and got to do exotic things like finish a conversation and shower without interruptions. My head is still spinning with all the thought and conversations that I was given, but in the meantime, here are some photos of our butterfly experiment.
