It isn't easy coming UP with a costume that has six individual parts. So this year, thinking UP our costume theme was tough. It wasn't till early October I presented everybody with this idea. I had looked through a complete listing of all the Disney/Pixar movies. Near the very end was UP. When the very next day I saw a cane just like Carl's sitting alone amongst a huge pile of crutches at the thrift store, I knew I had my sign. Everybody was excited about their costumes, except for me. The prospect of being a house wasn't that great (especially since I had no idea how I'd pull it off). But after a ton of internet searching for ideas, and 5 hours of work, I had a house I was proud to wear.
Our very good friends', the Thornes, house is always our first stop every year. This year we decided to stop at a neighbor's house first. Sable stepped on Rome's shoelace and sent him tumbling over their pumpkins. Luckily we got out of there with only a couple scrapes. I tied Rome's shoes REALLY tight and we were off to the Thornes!
Carl gives a good Wilderness Explorer a helping hand.
Back home again. Lots of chocolate scored this year. It seems nobody is buying Mary Janes anymore. Thank goodness.
Happy Halloween!
