RUN UP TO HALLOWEEN
Little orange pumpkins suddenly sprung up on my desk yesterday (plastic ones)!!. A cane basket was also placed, filled with candy. Well, someone sure is going to be doing a lot of replenishing. They should have known better than to keep a basket full of candy close to a candy lover. Halloween has certainly arrived at our office!!!
C marched me to Party City yesterday after a lot of arm twisting (though she did not have to twist very hard) to go chose a Halloween costume. There were pictures of all the costumes available with numbers attached to them and you could order it up, try it on and then decide whether you wanted it or not. The costumes went from cute to the bizarre. I mean a kimono miniskirt? The French Maid? The Divine Witch? Now that’s an oxymoron if I have ever heard one.
I am supposed to be the Divine Witch. Frankly speaking, I do not think I need a costume to scare anyone. I am scary enough just as me. C wouldn’t hear of it and insisted I try it on. It’s kind of cute, if you ask me, all red satin and black lace. Va, Va, Voooooooooooom!!
C is going to be a really cute Red Riding Hood and her husband D is going to be a dashing knight all maroon and silver. He certainly looked adorable in the knight costume with his glasses on!!
Next on the agenda: A sword and crown for D and a broomstick for me. We need all the props right? I did suggest I could carry S, the black cat, as my prop or that I could use the vacuum cleaner instead of the broom, but I regret to say those ideas were not met with any enthusiasm.
We also got (get a load of this) a PUMPKIN CARVING KIT. It comes complete with two saws, one for fine sawing, two drills that looked like screwdrivers and a little plastic scoop. There was also a booklet with patterns that could be pasted on the pumpkin while you cut along the dotted lines. (Perfectionists, aren’t they?)
And just so the cats didn’t feel left out, we also got a bat with glowing red eyes that you could hang and it would fly around in circles flapping its wings.
Now that we have all the professional tools for a pumpkin carver, I can’t wait for the carving to begin!!!!
