Don't try to cut Reese's bangs at 6am when you are only half awake, and she is coming down from yesterday's sugar overload. She won't sit still, and the result will make you cry. Oh!

trick-or-treating.
The toot-sweet song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Novocaine.
Augustus from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
and of course, candy brings us more of this:
...it's not a camera issue. I think that Q's eyes actually WERE red, yesterday.Not shown in photograph: horns. tail. fangs. foam coming from mouth.
Candy. I forgive you.
