Election Aftermath- Rally

This was my reaction to the election after crying all day on Wednesday on and off.  I organized a small peace rally in Somerville.  I hope to do more soon. 

Boston Globe Link- sadly the sole heckler got most of the press

Halloween 2016




The kids were a knight, a princess, and a dragon.  They selected the costumes independently of each other, though the dragon obviously didn't have much say.  The knight was adamant that he was not a guard for the princess, the princess wanted to carry her own sword, so I ended  up carrying it, and the dragon was vey ferocious and slept through trick-or-treating.
The princess also would not wear her new princess dress and the princess's mother is probably not buying a Halloween costume next year for her as this seems to be a standard practice. 

    
Vivian had to be the first to ring every doorbell and if not she would scream bloody murder.  Then the homeowner would open the door and exclaim how beautiful and adorable she was, while Tess and I cringed.  I wish they had seen her moments before yelling at her brother.  Sam was very patient all evening.
