~Halloween Hijinks~

A few updates:
Ginny: I changed Molly's costume, you'll get to see it below!
June: You'll get to see the girls' outfits for the first time because I forgot to do Snazzy Sunday ;)
The lighting in our basement was not good enough to do the who-dunnit story, so we improvised and made up another. Enjoy!

 It was late Halloween night, and we were all exhausted. Kit and Ruthie were eagerly counting their candy.

 Isabelle and Emily were discussing the costumes they saw as they walked the streets. Maria was asleep, and Ariel was falling asleep.

 Marie was also sleeping while Grace, Molly, Felicity and Cecile discussed each other's costumes.

 Nicki watched them all. She too was exhausted, but she felt that maybe they should do something fun as cousins and sisters.

 She found a book.

(I know it's called the Big House, just ignore the title)

 "Do you guys want to read a scary story?"

Nicki looked over at her sisters, and saw that they did want to read a story.

 Nicki flipped to a page in the middle, to a story called The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.

 She began to read.

 Felicity said, "Uh, wait guys...I don't think we should read this story." Ruthie turned to her and said, "Lissie, are you scaaarrreeddd????"

"Well, no not really, I just think that a maybe Marie and Maria will be scared."

 Cecile said, "Oh c'mon now Lissie, they are not even awake. Why are you scared? Usually Grace is the one who gets scared by stories, but you Miss Tough Gymnast, no way!"

Grace laughed softly. "It's true, I am easily scared."

 "It's alright Lissie, if the story is scary, we will all probably be scared with you."
"Alright, that sounds fine, go ahead and read it Nicki."

 Nicki began to read about a murderous man with an obsession over his neighbor's eye.

 Nobody noticed Isabelle get up slowly and walk over to Lissie.

 She went up behind Felicity waiting for the right moment to strike.

 She pounced, knocking Lissie to the ground. Felicity shrieked.

 Isabelle began tickling until Lissie was laughing and gasping, "Stop stop stop Izzy!"

 Felicity got up after Isabelle stopped and tackled her in a hug. "That's payback for scaring me," Lissie said.
Isabelle laughed and said, "I only did it to have some fun with you!"
They all laughed.
