I hope your Halloween was very festive and full of treats.  We got into the spirit by dressing up as a family of bugs — KC was a spider, I was a butterfly, and Penny was a bumblebee (and actually didn’t mind her costume — she wore it all night!)

My sister and brother and their significant others came over for the evening.  We gave out candy to (the very few!) trick-or-treaters who came by, watched Young Frankenstein, and had a big dinner together of spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and caesar salad.  A good time was had by all (and not just because everybody got to take home a bag full of candy at the end of the night).

Now that’s it’s officially November, I’ve been seeing glimpses of the holidays just about everywhere.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to spend our first Christmas in our new place with Penny.  Really, if Penny was a human, she would be Buddy the Elf from Elf.  Seriously, she even eats cotton balls if we don’t watch her closely enough.

Posting will be sporadic this week because KC and I are on vacation, but I’ve got a few things scheduled to post over the next week or so.  Hope you all have a great week!
