So, it's Halloween...

[conuly]

Traditionally, the first day of winter, which makes sense. Think about it.

I got to Jenn's house, and Ana's hair was nicely done in ten braids flat against her head, and not frizzy. It always sucks when I see how nice her hair is and then have to undo it to put in less nice, but non-frizzy braids.

Apparently, Doris "had a spare 15 minutes", so she braided Ana's hair. 'dul was amazed, Jenn was awed, I was... frankly, a little annoyed. I can't do three braids in twice that time, and mine aren't as nice, either! I try not to let it get to me, though. That way lies madness.

We tucked Ana in her cat jacket and drew on her face to take her out Trick-or-Treating. This is the first time she's ever gone, so I had to cut it short. We only did one block. It felt weird, coming home before my feet were aching. *shudders* There's a lot more variety in Halloween treats than when I was a kid - and a lot more older kids going around openly trick or treating. Such a bizarre holiday, really....

College students are a little old to be begging candy, so the campus community service organization sends us out Trick or Treating for canned goods for the community food shelf instead. It's really cool.
