From Apple's journal #20

Sugar rush might just be a myth... but the excitement that a bag full of candy, ready to be eaten causes in little girls is very real.
Halloween was fun and exhausting. Mostly fun.
Mia and Ruby were delighted to be dressed as princesses. They twirled around in their dresses, they giggled as I took care of their make-up and they marvelled at the sparkling nail polish I used for their nails.
Scarlet was less interested in all the fuss. The only make-up that girl wants on her face is the one she diligently applies every meal. She was however very pleased to be snow white because that meant she could munch on red apples all day long.
Mia and Ruby got along great. They shared their candy, they played together. There were no war cries because a toy was stolen. I'm not used to such calm environment when Owen is not around. When it's just Scarlet and Ruby and they have to focus all their play energies on each other the house turns into a battlefield.
At night I had to go to Chicago to give a concert and Andrew surprised me there. Dressed as a prince he fit well with the 4 princesses he had to accompany.
After the show we were supposed to get dinner and spend some time together but everyone was just too tired and the little ones were unsettled by the lack of routine so we went to the hotel to get some rest.
