Blood Splattered Vampire and Wingless Garden Fairy

I like to think that I'm a realist.  That I'm grounded.  That I'm easy going.  That I make the most of any situation.  With the exception of every holiday of the year.  On holidays, I turn into a drill sergeant marching my family through a SUPER FUN day.  I caught myself, reeled myself in, made peace with Marguerite's refusal to wear her fairy wings and Genevieve's selective approach to trick-or-treating.  My vampire princess and wingless fairy rode the highs and lows of a sugar filled day like champions.
