• Trick-or-treating last year

  For Halloween, last year, my eldest was Goth.  She wanted to dye her hair black.  First, we tried a semi-permanent dye that was supposed to eventually wash out.  Unfortunately, that turned her hair a grayish purple.  We went out and got some permanent dye.  Zisixi dyed her hair for her.  She liked it, and it looked good (for several months, until the blond roots started to grow out).  We still have some spots in the carpet and on the walls from the dye.

  Middle child was a garden pixie.  She was upset that people kept thinking she was a fairy.  According to her definition:  "Fairies live in the imaginary realm, like unicorns.  Pixies interact with humans, like in Peter Pan."  (I think she was just grumpy that the black widow was getting so much attention.)

  Youngest was a Black Widow spider.  When people would tell her she looked scary, she would reply,
  "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm a vegetarian."
