Halloween

We had a great time this year. The weekend before Halloween we threw a little party with our close friends. Everyone dressed up really well. Mr. M and I actually rented costumes this year - we might have to do that again....

Mr. M? The Joker! Fits his personality to the T.

Me? Catwoman. Mr. M really liked it. ;-)

And since M&M had just finished her winter shedding we took her the day before to get a bath, brush, hair dry, nails trimmed, teeth washed and ears cleaned. She was sooo pretty. We got a special Halloween bandana, which she wore for the occasion.

On Halloween night we had lots of fun handing out candy. My sister had given me some of those glow in the dark bracelets so I was handing those out as well as candy. Unless one of those big groups of kids came and I just did candy. We had a few little kids that were afraid to come up to our door because we had these 2 huge spiders - one hanging over the door frame and one in the bushes.

It seems like we had more kids this year. Granted last year we didn't participate and the year before was our first one but since the nieghborhood was still so new I don't think many were coming around.

I think that since Halloween was on Friday this year that kept a lot of the teenagers away - maybe to football games? We had a few younger teens but at least they dressed up.

M&M was having so much fun. We tried to leave her in the backyard so we wouldn't have to worry about her but she didn't want any of that. So everytime the door rang she jumped up and ran to the door - "People visiting us!!". Mr. M would hold her while I handed out the candy. So many kids were loving her "OH a snow dog", "wolf dog", "Alaskan dog", "sled dog"... it was funny. "Can we pet her? Will she bite?" She was loving the attention.

Then this little two year old came strolling up our sidewalk with his wagon (which was his "bag"). He finally got it up on our step and started walking in our house. We figured he was just going to pet M&M and all of a sudden he just took off up our stairs. His mom came running over in shock "I'm so sorry can I go get him?" We were just laughing, also in shock "of course". As she brought him down she just kept apologizing "can you tell this is his first Halloween?" I've never seen that happen before.

Hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween this year. Can you believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner?
