Halloween is my favorite holiday and I usually don a
Witch's costume complete with green makeup. However, I
was so tired yesterday that I just passed out candy.

My grandchildren probably had the worst costumes because
they made no effort at all but some of the best ones
showed up at the door. My favorite was Red Riding Hood.
She looked like an illustration from a children's book of
long ago. The next best was a little Ninja turtle who had
a wonderful face mask. There were ghosts, several monkeys,
monsters, hobos, brides and witches. The little ones felt
compelled to explain who they were, although it was obvious.
Ashley went with her friend, McKenzie who went as Katie Perry
and looked darling in her costume and blue hair.

Rex greeted all the little goblins with a wagging tail and a
big doggy smile. He adores little ones. I offered to loan
my witch's costume and a milkmaid one to the girls but for
some reason Adrienne went as a geek and Ashley thought she
looked like someone from the Hunger Games. Ted and I were
disappointed that they didn't make more of an effort. But
then, we haven't lost all our child like qualities.
