Halloween SugarFest!

Nikki and I hosted a Halloween party for our kids and two guests yesterday afternoon. Well, ten were invited, but only two showed up. Nikki and I are very out as far as being lesbians, so maybe that was it. We've had a few kids say that their parents don't want them over because they have two moms. Last summer, one of the no-show boys was telling his friends that I'm a man. So maybe it was due to homophobia and transphobia, or maybe not. I really don't care, personally... I just don't want our children to be ostracized because of who their parents are. They deserve better than that. But what can I do about that, actually? Nada.

They all had fun anyway, despite the limited attendance, and despite the fact that Sarah got a bad skin reaction from the glue we used to attach the devil horns to her head. That crap just wouldn't come off for anything. Poor kid. Live and learn, though... never again! In the photos, you see she has a horned headband on instead.

The rest of the story is better told via photos and captions. So without any further ado...

All the kids! Savannah is looking at the camera, and Sarah is giving something to Skylar, who didn't want her shirt on for some reason.

Our two girls engaged in a mummy-wrapping contest. Sarah won.

Sarah's turn to pin on the head.

Now Nikki is the one getting pinned!

Beautiful lil' devil.

Savannah got an apple!

 

Skylar's turn, with encouragement from her older sisters.

Nikki will kill me for posting this one, though you can only see a hint of the accidental cleavage that I cropped out. Yum!  ;)

I love my family.  :)

I hope everyone is having a nice time this Halloween, and for those in other parts of the world, a nice autumn or whatever time of the year it is for you!
