Happy Halloween, Baby

SteelyKid says "Daddy, I can help with your puppet show. Look at this awesome dragon puppet Grandma got me!"

In this, you can also see a bit of the Halloween outfit her great-grandmother gave her. There are a couple of pictures below the fold that show it more clearly:

Here's one of her obligingly looking at the camera:

I kind of prefer this one where she's grinning toothily at Kate, just out of the frame on the left:

Happy Halloween to everybody who won't be offended by being wished a happy Halloween.

...and The Pip will be five. Happy birthday, Little Dude! Oh, yeah, there was also some kind of election. In which a bunch of crazy people lost, and a guy I played rugby with was elected a US Senator. Which is a great way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of this momentous occasion. And here's…
We got a good group photo this week, showing everybody, with Appa for scale, even: Here, SteelyKid is opening a bag of small presents that Aunt Norma and Uncle Dan sent, while the Pip engages in the traditional five-week-old-infant pursuit of sleeping a whole lot. When she's not opening early…
I'm always taking pictures of SteelyKid going about her business, so a little turnabout is fair play: The "camera" she's using is actually a small calculator that my mom gave her. She also uses this like a phone, to carry on lengthy conversations with her great-grandmother and sometimes friends…
One of SteelyKid's favorite bedtimes reads is Good Night, Gorilla, which is very short and mostly pictures. We've read it about a million times, so to mix things up (and further my goal of convincing her that I'm a blithering idiot), I'll give it different titles when I hold it up before reading it…

For a really memorable mental image, imagine the post title in the voice of the Kurgan taunting nuns in Highlander.

"Nuns. No sense of humor."

You're welcome.

Happy Halloween, SteelyKid, and Chad and Kate and Emmy!
