Happy Halloween!!

Mike was in charge of Halloween this year and I knew that he would certainly make it interesting. He found Tig & Pooh on Ebay and I made Piglet from a plain pig costume I got at Petsmart. Because we are so cool, we were a pretty big hit at Maribeth's Halloween Party (Margot Tennenbaum picture above). I think was the first time in my adult Halloween career that I didn't wear some version of animal ears, a tail, and all black clothing. We also lucked out because it was about 40 degrees outside that night so we were actually more comfortable outside while most of the girls dressed in "Girl World" costumes (Mean Girls reference) were shivering.

As usual, Milly was the hit of the party and we were just the side show.
To get in the Pooh spirit, I've been perusing some "Poohisms".  I found one that I think I need to remember in relation to that sometimes obstinate Tigger:
"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient, it may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear." 

Today is the big trick-or-treating day for our street with over a thousand kids expected to come through. We're not going to be as ambitious as we were last year with the candy giving, but we definitely plan on people watching later.

Happy Halloween and as far as American consumers are concerned, welcome to the Holiday Season!
