The Princess Revisited

Here is the princess in all her glory. This picture was taken at Molly's Auntie Johanna's house where she visited with her dragon cousins and ate pumpkin pie (still on her dress - how do you clean a princess costume with rhinestones?). Anyhow, Molly trick-or-treated for the first time in the neighborhood and collected a good amount of candy which Mom and Dad quickly consumed after she went to bed. They were happy to report that they found no poison or razor blades in it... talk about taking one for the team!

Actually, the funniest thing about the candy was that Molly has a book called "Little Pea" about a pea that is forced by his parents to eat candy, which he hates, so that he can have his favorite food for dessert - spinach. While the pea eats the candy he says stuff like "Pleh, Yuck, and Ugh." So here's Molly, walking down the street looking at her basket of candy going "Candy. Pleh. Yuck. Ugh." Meanwhile, Melissa and I are smiling at each other convinced that we have truly pulled one over on our young daughter. And maybe we have... at least for the time being.
