"First Halloween": (a short story written and illustrated by Fairy and Angel Girls)

It was the day before Halloween.  The girls were choosing their costumes.  Evelyn wants to be a princess.  Kate really wants to be a mermaid.  And Mary really wants to be a mermaid.  Eva doesn't know yet.

Evelyn: "how about a princess?"
Eva: "wow, that's a great idea!"
Evelyn: "do you like the idea?"
Eva: "yes, we will make it tomorrow.  But first, we will have lunch before we decide how to make the costume."

The girls break for lunch together, and eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches, lemonade, and grapes.




After lunch, they start talking about Eva's costume.


Evelyn: "what about your costume Eva?"
Eva: "well, I want it to be sparkly and pretty and shiny---And I'll leave it all up to Evelyn."


The girls start talking about their trick or treat bags.  Evelyn wants a ballerina bag.  Eva wants a ghost bag.  Kate and Mary are babies, too young for candy, so they don't need bags.  They will be home with a babysitter.


The girls are sleeping over at Eva's house.


Eva: "Let's go sleep in the bonus room, so we don't wake the babies."  


After a night of popcorn, pepsi's, and scary movies...before they knew it, it was morning!  They wake up and start work on their costumes.  Eva's mom calls them for breakfast: freaky fried eggs and scary pancakes and ghost bacon.


Back to the costumes.  The girls were able to put together beautiful costumes!




And then it was lunch time (of course): pumpkin fries and pumpkin punch.


Now it's time to make the haunted food for their Halloween party: Haunted gingerbread house; mummy dogs; spider cake; monster cupcakes.


Then, they put their costumes on, to prepare for TRICK OR TREATING!


Eva's mom says: "it's only 6:30, it's not time yet!"  
And the girls scream: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (because they can't go yet, and clearly they are excited). 


So, the girls make up a trick or treat song and dance, til it's time to go...
when Evelyn's mom says: "7:00, time to go!"  The girls went to the first house:


TRICK OR TREAT!
