Happy Halloween, Everybody!

This is just a little post to say "happy halloween" and to thank everyone who sent me chocolate and cards. The chocolate was greatly enjoyed by my lovely roommate and me and the cards provided lovely decoration for our door:

This was Charmaine's very first Halloween ever (by which I mean the first time she's ever dressed up) and she got really excited about her costume last night, so we stayed up ridiculously late working on costumes. She made a pennant and I made a sword. Both out of paper.

And now for pictures of our costumes! Prepare for the (mis)adventures of Russell (from Up!) and Sir Lillian.

 Russell and Sir Lillian of the Darkest Timeline 

(I was planning on wearing the goatee all day, but it kept falling off.)

 Adventuring!

 Russell spots Kevin. Sir Lillian is skeptical (and possibly a little alarmed, not that she would ever admit to anything as cowardly as alarm).

 Sir Lillian shall protect you from the forces of evil with her paper sword!

Basically my roommate is FANTASTIC.

Fairfax decided to dress up too. He wanted to be Ironman, so I made him the mask and shirt, but then he insisted on the shield too. I tried to explain to him that the shield went with Captain America, not Ironman, but he was obstinate. Ironman is one of Fairfax's favorite superheros because even though he's kind of snarky, he doesn't have any natural superpowers and only relies on what he can figure out or invent.

Apparently Wesley decided to dress up too! He's either a bower or a wood nymph--take your pick!

Hope you all had a lovely Halloween!
