bonus shot: her majesty, princess chookooloonks of the deep blue

A few months ago, I asked Alex:  "Alex?  What would you like to be for Halloween?"

She thought for a moment.  Then she looked at me gravely:

"A hip hop artist.  We're going to need lots of gold chains," she answered, gesturing emphatically around her neck and chest.

Needless to say, this was the beginning of some heated negotiations in our house.  We finally compromised on the mermaid you see above.

I dunno, man.

Remember when she wanted to be an astronaut?

Happy Halloween, everyone.  Have fun and stay safe.
