"When so I ponder, here apart, what shallow boons suffice my heart, what dust-bound trivia capture me,
I marvel at my normalcy."--Dorothy Parker

the costumes


We braved the preliminary winds to do a little pumpkin carving at Jane and Kai's while we waited for the storm to arrive but, thanks to Sandy, our Halloween celebration was a more subdued one that we had anticipated having. There was trick-or-treating with friends on Carnegie Hill, but all other activities were postponed until the following week, if they happened at all. Nevertheless, costumes were worn (a violet and a bee), candy was eaten, and a class party was had. We were grateful our lights were on and we had food in the refrigerator and gas in the car. We even got to have Daddy working from home for a week. It wasn't all bad.

I love how Violet has her candy all spread out neatly on the chair. It reminds me of emptying out our pillow cases of treats on the floor and separating them out to trade. The kids look adorable. Glad you are all safe and happy!
