We are home sick today.  Colin is convinced that Halloween candy will heal him and keeps informing me that he's "still not better" (and therefore must need candy).  Audrey wants the three of us to take on all the roles in the Rapunzel story and turn the day into full-costume dramatic reenactment.  Of course she plays Rapunzel and the good queen mother.  I am the "wicked witch."  Colin is the horse and  "prince."  He and I are not being very good sports.  However, after watching Audrey try to hold a blanket on her head as Rapunzel's "hair" I helped out by creating some long locks with a headband and an old ball of yarn.  This craft might make up for my unwillingness to act.

During a whirlwind house pick up today I was in a happy mood (induced by my Mindy Gledhill, Anchor album) and grabbed a handful of candy corn from the abused candy dish (perhaps the second cause of my energy surge:)

Distributing the goodies between Audrey and Colin,

Audrey asks "What's this for?"

"Because you two are soo cute," I reply.

A little while later Colin finds me and grins as he asks,

"Can I have some more cute?"
