Happy Halloween
November 1st, 2007 Unrelated Posts, Family Pictures and Events

Yeah, I know that I’m a day late, but we got back so late from trick-or-treating the other night that I just passed out. We had a great time cruising the neighborhood in search of the ultimate candy haul, and the results were quite satisfying for Cedric and D’Anna.

This marks the first year that we felt lame enough to dress the dog up, and as you will see in the pictures below, she looked like a complete dummy in her costume (not that she doesn’t look stupid enough without it). The only problem that we faced taking this dog trick-or-treating was that she would bark incessantly at any person who answered the door for the kids. It didn’t take long for me to alter the game-plan and just keep her in the car with me while Dina and the kids did their thing. This didn’t stop her from barking though… blech. This will probably be the last year she comes with us.

I could write alot more about our Halloween, but I’m pretty sure that my endless Dog Tale has already put you to sleep. I’ll now make with the pictures…

Setting out in search of candy… and people to bark at for no reason.

The haul… they ate half of it that very night. What is amazing is that they didn’t get sick!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Next stop… Thanksgiving.

Mmmm… mom’s banana cream pie.

I love it! Great costumes. The dog looks hilarious! What… they don’t make the good witch costume for dogs? LOL! I can’t believe she didn’t take it off. My dog would have turned that into shreds in a matter of minutes. I certainly wouldn’t have had the time to snap a photo.

Looks like you all had fun! The kids definitely scored on the candy! I bet they were climbing walls just like Jakob. Candy overload!

Tina! It’s been a while since I’ve gotten any comments from you here.

We did look for a Glenda the Good Witch costume for her, but they didn’t have any. Ironically, they had a “toto” costume for dogs though… go figure. I mean, who really thinks it would be clever to dress their dog up like a… dog… for halloween. As for her keeping the thing on, she wouldn’t mess with it when we were around, but as soon as we left the car she’d wiggle out of it.
