Halloween was fun. We went to a house of horror at E's insistence. She let herself be very scared. W was amused by the whole thing and walked through it with a half smile and his hands in his pockets.
Then we went trick or treating at very specific houses. Friends or family. The kids of course wound up with way too much candy. E was incredibly hyper, so I asked her "Did you drink coffee?" "No." *thinks* "How much candy did you eat?" She held her hands out, indicating about 3 inches "about this much chocolate?" Next question.. "A piece that big, or a stack that high?" Silence for a couple minutes.
"A stack that high."
Now, mostly, chocolate doesn't effect my family. Makes W break out a bit, and Dad considers it a food group. E on the other hand.. gets loopy. Hyper, loopy, chocolate is very good drugs indeed for E, and she loves the stuff.
She bounced like a superball in a shower stall. The kind with a door not a curtain.
On the crochet nunchaku thing.. how about quilted shuriken as well? and a plastic canvas needlepoint katana? I could be the CRAFT NINJA next year.Embroidered black outfit..
Of course, that would mean that R would have to figure out a way to be a Craft Pirate.
I henna'd W's arm with a dragon, and I still have a cone and half left. Oh yeah. I really mixed entirely too much.
I also worked out, in my head at least, a spiderweb potholder, should I make it and post the pattern?
OH! VS! Before I forget.

Last week, it was a tie between purple lightsaber and Luke. In the store that week the winner was Mace Windu. Mike's vote was "you know by posting that, you've become a geek poster girl right?"
And yes. I know, Joss, Eliza, new show. Which is cool. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Fox? Has a serious habit of cancelling shows I like without giving them a fair chance, for a station that was originally willing to settle for a small slice of the tv viewing pie using really new concepts and shows, they've really become a shining example of sell out.
I'm not at all bitter. Really.
