Vampirita's Halloween

   We loved Ashima's costume.  We had sooo much fun just watching her walk around with her cape.  The slight gloominess added to the mood of Halloween.  We took her trick or treating to the stores around our house, it seems like it's the thing to do. It's so sad that kids don't have the liberty to go from house to house like we did when growing up.  But then again, I don't know if we would feel comfortable trusting other people.  Xenophobia has taken its toll over the years.  Certainly next year we will try to do something with other children her age so we can show off her costume and gush with other parents about how darling they all look.  ;)
