My MIL is the greatest. She loves us and she loves her grandbabies. I think we are really lucky to have her nearby (well, in Ellensburg). We had decided to be 101 Dalmations themed for Halloween this year, and mom obliged us by making dalmation puppy costumes for the boys. Raymond loved wearing his puppy hood. Which is funny, because I can't get him to keep a hat on to save my life (or his)! Maybe this winter he'll have to wear a warm hat underneath his puppy hood to stay warm.
Here we all are, at our yearly Halloween party with some special friends. I've had this Cruella DeVil costume for awhile now, and have gotten good use out of it. It was fun to wear it again as an ensemble crew. My MIL is in the middle, she is dressed as the maid to the couple who own the dogs, and Timo is dressed as Horace Badun, one of my henchmen.
We also celebrated Mom-K's 60th birthday this weekend. Happy birthday, Mom! Grandma-D surprised all of us by showing up on Saturday to visit with us and celebrate Mom's birthday. Here are three generations of the family, all together. Grandma-D is 83 years young!
And finally, late last night, I carved our pumpkin. I can't take credit for the design - my sister emailed me a bunch of cool carved pumpkins, and this design was one of them. But even though I hate talking about or hearing or watching (on TV) people puking, I really wanted to carve this pumpkin. It was the easiest, quickest carve I've ever done. I didn't even cut a "lid" but just carved the design and then reached in through the mouth to make it "puke".
We also filled the favor bags last night. Today/tonight's project is making detailed Sesame Street character candies to decorate the birthday cake.
