A Couple of Characters...

To the amazement of no one, Carmen decided on two Halloween costumes this year (same dress, different identities) and luckily Lucia had hers locked and loaded since November 1st of last year. Any one care to guess who they are?!? If you said a princess and Pocahontas you'd be WRONG! No, Carmen is clearly Mabel from Pirates of Penzance (or Ida from the eternally creepy Outside Over There book) and Luce is obviously princess Tiger Lilly from Peter Pan. Duh.
Before the nocturnal solicitation of treats could begin, mother nature had a very blustery trick to deliver in the form of Hurricane Sandy. She was rude enough to blow into town and close school for two whole days forcing mamas to resort to lots of indoor activities and creative kitchen arts. After 48 hours stuck inside, we were more than ready to head out and get some candy. Even with the hurricane, we had a great Halloween and the good news is, Carmen already has a lock on next year's costume.
