The brave cheerleader
This was Tara's third year trick-or-treating as an American and I must say she gets it. She marched up to houses in her cheerleading outfit, leaving the pom poms in the wagon every time. The new pom poms that I had to chase around to different stores for after she lost one of her old ones at the park a few days ago. (Why do we bother??!)
Her brother Austin chose to run with a pack of friends this year. Groups of neighborhood kids were all around, but at each house, Tara waited for the other goblins and fairies to step away from the porches and then scurried up on her own. Someone at work told me she probably did this to increase the cuteness factor and therefore generate more candy for herself. Now I'm thinking that was indeed her strategy.
They both got enough candy to last through Christmas. Great.

Tara was a starlet on Halloween, really. She needs the spotlight, and it is not to be shared.

PS See if Tara and Austin will set aside their Snickers and Kitkats for me.
PPS If not, Milky Ways are good. I can do Milky Ways.
PPPS As a last resort I could stomach some Nestle Crunch bars.
