The girls woke up to a special surprise today – a visit from Aunt Darrah, who was in town from New York for a work event. She came up at 8 AM this morning and spent an hour with the girls. They modeled their Halloween costumes for her, put on a ballet show, read a few books, and generally had a great time with her. Before bed tonight, A said to me, "I want Aunt Darrah to come back and bring Jason. I love Jason." Awww.

Books tonight: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day and Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Tonight, the girls ate some marshmallow ghosts. They are yummy. Sweet. Very sweet. But yummy. Here are some photos:

Finally, some shout-outs to the Piggy and Bunny Blog commenters!
