That made me chuckle like you have no idea! I wonder what the parents of the children who received kitty treat said? You've got to hand it to the mister, that was crafty! My funnest Halloween memory involved dressing as the gypsy from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I was eight and over the moon at being allowed to wear make up and large hoop earrings. If I'm honest, whenever I get dressed up and don the make up and hoops now, a part of me feels like the little girl who went trick or treating as a little gypsy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-1839032956263337782011-11-06T19:57:36.847-08:002011-11-06T19:57:36.847-08:00Rachel - thank you!Rachel - thank you!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-70265349938144049932011-11-06T19:23:04.465-08:002011-11-06T19:23:04.465-08:00Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh ssoooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE...Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh ssoooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!! :)Rachel Hoythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565668664072704971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-56032641196208088622011-11-06T13:53:21.778-08:002011-11-06T13:53:21.778-08:00Mari – fabulous story!

When we lived in a subdivision with kids stopping by for candy, I'd tell them that instead of me giving them candy, they had to give me a piece of theirs since it was my birthday. The looks of mixed emotions were priceless. The looks started with "no way do I want to part with my treat" to "gee, it's your birthday - I should give you a present"! And most kids did :) But I gave their candy back - honest!Mari Sterling Wilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232646172657479932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-63513569973254503642011-11-02T17:03:00.747-07:002011-11-02T17:03:00.747-07:00Kristen – Ditto to “the magic and mystery of being...Kristen – Ditto to “the magic and mystery of being someone else for a night.” When else can we get by with masquerading as another?

Sure it was fun to get lots of junk food - often two pillow cases full - but it's as an adult that I have truly enjoyed it. The magic and mystery of "being" someone else for a night, the creativity of putting it all together... it's a wonderful thing!!<br /><br />My favourite in recent years was my outfit for a burlesque Halloween party (you can imagine how much fun that was!), and then another time as Corpse Bride - blue hair and all.

Tells you how strange society is, I would use that if anyone ever asked me why my 48 pound male Pit wasn't fixed but, they never get close enough to ask anything. HAHA. What a wonderful surprise for the parents to have a kitten brought home to them. My kids would have had to remember your house because I am allergic but, I suppose they are smart enough to know better. Hopefully all the new mommies take good care of all the kittens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-55760301995506235052011-10-30T15:48:04.942-07:002011-10-30T15:48:04.942-07:00Brenda – and the boys all sang…

It won me a few kisses and too many dances to count. A good night.

Since many channels are showing old horror flicks this month, I’ve pondered that question often. AMC is showing nothing – absolutely nothing – but scary movies. I don’t like the gory ones, but the suspense-filled films are entertaining.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-22766464919560963562011-10-30T11:36:26.621-07:002011-10-30T11:36:26.621-07:00I love that you dressed as a flapper -and what ado...I love that you dressed as a flapper -and what adorable cats!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286546266415945733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-24179640141046366022011-10-30T05:11:19.320-07:002011-10-30T05:11:19.320-07:00Being a Brit and brought up Brethren, I have never...Being a Brit and brought up Brethren, I have never done Halloween.
