We have spent a lot of time tonight discussing what the girls want to be for Halloween. As I reported yesterday, we had an Oscar the Grouch (A) and a kangaroo (M). Tonight, it was Oscar the Grouch for both. We went online to look for costumes, at which time the girls found others that appealed to them. Other costumes considered and ultimately rejected:

M: Cookie Monster, Elmo (which she was last year), penguin, bunny, kangaroo again.

A: Cookie Monster (which she was last year), Elmo, bunny, puppy, caper. Yes, you read that right. Caper. As in the small olive-type thing. I thank that was her final decision.
