"HOOO HOOO" Is That? Happy Halloween!

Hootie Hootie Hoo!  Happy Halloween!!!

Unfortunately, this year we were "Connorless" for Halloween.  Ramsey, however, was on board and ready to get out and about, collecting candy on this fun holiday for the first time. 

Mom and I dressed him up in his new owl costume (we also tried out a lion - but he HATED the headpiece, as it was huge and wonky - and also a bee outfit, but it wasn't as cute) and headed to town in the afternoon.  We first visited Daddy at the police department (he got LOTS of candy and attention there!) and then we went to see Auntie Peggy in the hospital.  She kept calling him "the little green owl".  :-) 

(I didn't know owls had big orange feet like ducks!  ha)

Eric found a fun lion costume for Riggsy as well, but he didn't like wearing it; he kept biting at the big fluffy mane, shaking his head feverishly, trying to get it off.  He wouldn't sit or stand still to get a good picture!  His coloring is perfect for the guise.  Maybe next year he'll be able to contain himself and keep it on!

When we returned home on Halloween night, Eric had set up little "tricks" to try to scare us with.  The lights in the house were off and he had a werewolf mask hanging in a dark corner.  It didn't startle me the first time, but we left it up and it spooked me later.

He also hung a huge hairy spider in the shower!  Gross!  ha!
