Halloween

This year, Anya dressed up as an archer. Sort of like Katniss, although she hasn't seen (and won't for awhile) The Hunger Games. She might also be an elf -- she's gone back and forth on that, so I'm not sure where it ended up.

She got a fair amount of use out of the costume. Saturday, she wore it to her piano recital/Halloween party. Monday, she wore it to school and for trick-or-treating, and last night, we had our annual PEPS Halloween gathering.

Speaking of trick-or-treating, we had a little gathering at our house with some classmates. Anya's new friend's family just moved here from Mexico and this was their first time experiencing Halloween. We all did the neighborhood rounds, kids with baskets and adults with libations in hand. As usual, it rained, but the kids didn't seem to mind too much -- although I think it kept them from a marathon of trick-or-treating. Anya got a decent haul, but not quite as much as last year.
