Halloween was a huge success.

Twinkletoes got her first taste of a candy bar last night. She liked it. Of course.

Both girls looked adorable in their costumes, and both girls got lots of candy. And just walking around and talking to neighbors was fun for me, too. Though I wish I’d felt better.

Oh, and I have a glitter bathroom now. After getting GlitterGirl all glittered up, my bathroom needs a serious scrubdown. That spray stuff may have been easier to use than the gel stuff, but since it requires a bathroom cleanup afterwards maybe next time we’ll go back to the gel. Or spray her down outside instead of inside.

The odd thing was, they switched personalities last night. GlitterGirl decided to be shy and TwinkleToes decided to be really outgoing. I have no idea what was up with that, but to have GlitterGirl literally hiding behind me while TwinkleToes charmed the pants off people just seemed a bit like the Twilight Zone. Maybe it was the costumes?

Both girls got in bed past their bedtimes. GlitterGirl went to sleep fairly quickly, but TwinkleToes was up for hours. And then TwinkleToes woke up easily this morning and GlitterGirl was impossible to get up (I had to enlist the help of RK, which only happens maybe once every other month).

One year I rationed out the candy and it lasted for months. I made the decision after that, that it is better to have a four or five day sugar overload and get it over with than it is to try to ration it out. I’m not looking forward to the next four or five days. But, it’s part of the whole experience I suppose, not really anything that I can do about it.
