The Perfect Halloween

Two kitties and a bat!

Aren't they cute? Not bad for a last minute costume change.

Our littlest kitty and.............Book Face! (Or rather Face Book.)

Batman and a witch in Grama A's magic chair.

My cute little Buzzy Bee...


And the little know hybrid - the Wee!

We had the most perfect Halloween yet to date. I was very worried about the weather after experiencing many days of snow. But Halloween dawned bright and sunny. I even had to open the windows to let in a cool breeze. I think it might have gotten up to 75 degrees!

We first spent the day just preparing - cleaning the house, getting the corn chowder in the crock pot, and then off to Grama A's to go Trick-or-Treating. She was so fun - she had dressed up like a witch and had great treats!

Then we rushed home to go to the neighborhood party. Jacee had misplaced her bee antennae and so decided to go as a cat - like mommy. Well once Maddie saw that she wanted to be a cat too. So - mommy sacrificed her ears and tail so I had two cute little kittens following me around. Jack, luckily, was content to be Batman all day - whew!

We next hit Steve and Natalie's and her famous, homemade chicken noodle soup -yummy! Then back home to give out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters and daddy took the kittens and batman out. Batman and baby kitty lasted until about 7:45pm with Jacee lasting until a little after 8pm.

Then it was party time! John put up the projector screen in the basement so all the kids found a comfy spot with pillows, blankets, and of course their bags of candy. We didn't hear a peep from them for an hour and a half! So, in peace, the adults had corn chowder, scones, pumpkin cookies, apples and caramel dip, and brownies. We played some great games with Gary stealing the show as Napoleon (not Dynamite - the real one!)

Overall - GREAT Halloween. We only wish Grama and Grampa Mission were here to join in the fun - they will be next year!!

Now we can't wait for Thanksgiving!!!!
