Happy Halloween 2013

“When witches go riding

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

’tis near Halloween.”

Wishing you a Happy Halloween! The big day has finally arrived, and Brenna and I have so much to share with you today.

#2. Brenna’s costume, collar, and toys given to her by Ms. Marney and the greyhounds, Autumn and Dale. She doesn’t mind wearing the Stormtrooper shirt, but she really is not a fan of the Princess Leia headpiece. I somehow managed to make it out of that experience without any blood on me.

#4. An invitation for anyone to come by The Historic Herndon Halloween House tonight, either to Trick-or-Treat, or just to help hand out candy. We have tons of candy, including almost 200 full-size candy bars, 40 small candy boxes, 20 bouncy balls, dog bones for the four-legged trick-or-treaters, and two huge bags of miscellaneous snack-size candy bars just in case we run out of full-size ones. Keep your fingers crossed for us that this will be a good year; otherwise we may be eating a whole lot of candy ourselves.
