Greenpeace and Halloween

So I got into the pool today and was immediately wary of Japanese whaling ships luckily Greenpeace was there to protect me as I tried to swim for 30 minutes.  It wasn't too weird but man my muscles were tired.  I finished and proceeded to get out while be attentive to any marine biologists trying to put me back out to sea.  Overall, it was so miserable so maybe I hit the pool more often as I really didn't hate it.

I had Elena last night and surprise she was excited to see me.  I got to hear all about school and various other musings.  It's nice that she still talks to me but I'm sure in a few years that will stop.  I asked her what she was going to be for Halloween.  She answered that she's going as Belle but next year she's going to be a ghost.  I asked why she was going to be a ghost next year.  She said that she'd be 7 so she wanted to be ghost.  I asked again and she mentioned that older kids wear "spooky" costumes for Halloween and not princess ones.  I tried to tell her to be her own kid and do what she wants but she just said she likes ghosts.

She had a wardrobe meltdown this morning but I forced her to wear some black leggings with her skirt.  She said it didn't match but it did even to a fashion illiterate like me.  I just told her to get used to me telling that she can't wear something or has to wear something.  I have no idea what the cool fashion will be when she's a teenager but I'm sure I won't like it.
