We Scare Because We Care!

This year we continued our fun family tradition with Monsters Inc. themed costumes.

I was on the ball and made the twins' costumes in early October. . .maybe a little too early. They were super excited all month long and kept asking when they could wear them and scare someone!

Andy was a good sport and once again dressed up as a furry creature for our entertainment. His costume proved to be more difficult, however. I thought I would just buy a Sulley costume on e-bay. Ha!  I was putting the finishing touches on it this afternoon. But more on that later. I'm tired.

Happy Halloween! I'm already brewing up next year's costumes. . ..

Time for a Halloween Rhyme

It’s the Cat in the Hat!

Embarrassing costumes? He knows a lot about that!

He’s a cat and he’s oodles of fun.

With his hairy helpers Thing 2 and Thing 1!



Even Horton made her debut on this eve in the Fall.

Because, after all, a person’s a person, no matter how small.

But she didn’t like the big hat and started to bawl.

 Then off she went with a grunt and a crawl.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play.

Be that didn’t stop us on that cold, cold wet day.

We took to the street to get good things to eat.

And looked to the sky for a beautiful treat.

The afternoon before there was a party to attend.

Our Things had a blast with their little My Gym friends.

Those things ran about with big jumps, bumps and thumps.

I don't know if anything next year will be able to trump.

But we will all be anxiously awaiting

Next Halloween and more celebrating!
