In which we have a strange trick-or-treating evening...

Kids are funny.

Autumn was broken hearted when Jen and I got new Jammies for Jammie Night at Embers last month, so we got her a pair which she promptly decided would be her halloween costume this year (She was going to be "A girl from a slumber party".)

Then, about a week ago, apparently she decided this was not creepy enough for Halloween, and decided she wanted to add vampire makeup to the costume...

We decided she would then be a "Ghoul from a slumber party".

Trick or treating was fun, but over early since it was a school night, so I got dressed up after we got home and the candy was all sorted (and sampled). In my Buccaneer hat and over-the-knee boots, with a blousy shirt and black miniskirt with skull buckles, I was the Pirate Queen of Embers. :)

But alas, not so much organizing a mutiny, although I still profess there were enough pirates there to do so. I actually got asked to dance by a very handsome, clean cut young man in pirate gear, but the music was very latino and the dance floor was packed, so I demurred.
