To the rescue!

Here come WordGirl and her faithful monkey sidekick Captain Huggy Face to save the day!

Here's a better look at the kids' Halloween costumes in full. Mom did a great job, didn't she (with a little help from Dad and the tailor downstairs)?

And what a weekend it was. Beginning with Lincoln's gym class Thursday, we've had four straight days of costumes! Levynn got into hers for a school event Friday; both got into them for a building party and 28 floors of trick-or-treating Saturday; and they got into them one more time today for a trip to Navy Pier's (lame) party and Go Roma's free pizza treats.

Halloween is quite the shindig around here!
