Sometimes the Universe is Nice

I won an Amazon gift card in the first day of Hallowimzy poetry contest, and it juuuuuuust covered getting the macro lens I've been debating over for my phone. So that is coming and I'm pretty stoked.

We voted today. Also today the kiddo wore her Halloween costume to school. She was Zatanna, and has been having a great deal of fun trying to figure out how to talk backwards. After much back and forth she convinced us to let her get her first pair of heels. (She's 8, they are the tiny child chunky heels, but still she's never been allowed anything like that before.) After school she was complaining that her feet hurt. Hahaha... yes kid. You spent the whole day in heels. Hold onto the memory of that feeling. She's decided she'd rather stay home Monday night and hand out candy than do the full neighborhood trick or treat circuit. (We live in the big fmaily 'hood. We are where everyone comes to trick or treat.) I don't know if it's because she honestly prefers to hang out and give out the candy (she loves it, and loves fawning over the little ones in their costumes) or if it's becaue she doesn't want to walk several blocks in those shoes. Ah well. We have about 500 pieces of candy. I am thinking of buying one more bag to bring us up to 600, and hoping that's enough. I honestly forget how much we had last year, but we definitely ran out. Maybe I will get two bags, and then we'll just have spare candy. (Hopefully.)
