Halloween

My daughter is 15 this year and therefore, too old for trick or treating. But that did not make this Halloween any less tiring than the previous ones. Both Erika and I had parties to attend, separately. Given her recent injury (dislocated patella or kneecap) we almost didn't allow her to attend. But we wanted her to have fun so we eventually agreed so long as she was to promise to keep her knee immobilizer on during the party (and not take it off!).

Kasuy and I came as Gabrielle and Xena respectively. This photo was taken at the house sans armor. I left off the armor until we got to Glorietta, otherwise I would not have been able to drive at all. Kasuy's blonde hair was new, though. She couldn't get it blonde enough last time so finally opted for a wig. In case you are wondering, my hair in the photo is a wig, too.

Erika was also attending a costume party. Initially, she was supposed to appear as Betty Boop but because of her injury, heels were out and we weren't able to get her dress on time. In the end we ended up raiding my closet and I got her the red wig. And so, she attended the party as ... Sydney Bristow (Alias)!

It turned out to be a better costume choice because the whole ensemble (from wig to injury to black dance shoes) made her stand out and quite noticeable. Let's face it, my baby is a hottie!

And now to get my leather jacket back ...

I wonder what we will come up with next year?
