Hallowe'en

So, I was supposed to post this weeks, ago, but better late then never, right? right.

Halloween is a favorite holiday around the Moore house, and this year, was celebrated with style. With Heather's usual enthusiasm, we found our house decorated to the hilt, including home made spider webs made of hot glue, a pot full of tootsie rolls cooking in a fire on the bar, ghost and spider lanterns hanging across the kitchen, and a halloween tree on the front porch, complete with ghosts and bats hanging from barren branches. To further add to the fun, Heather decided to invite several friends over as a trial run for a future tradition. We are planning on having an open house every year that starts before people leave to trick or treat. This year we just invited 20 people to gauge how easily we could handle the load. It went great. Heather put out quite a spread, there was an Italian sausage chowder (similar to that served at Olive Garden) Taco Soup, and Carrot Soup, a family favorite. There was hot cider drink, there were "monster toes" (soft pretzels the shape of a toe with an almond sliver as a toe nail) There were no bake cookies, and three variety's of home made popcorn. We had people coming all night, it was a lot of fun. Next year, I think we will make it a full open house. Dressing up this year was also a lot of fun, Heather dressed as a Nun, (a pregnant nun at that), and I dressed as the Father. Audrey was a cute little black cat, and even Atlas wore his best red tie. Audrey really got a kick out of halloween. She sang halloween songs with Mom and Dad, and loved dressing up as a cat (she wore the pants and hats for days afterwords). It was a great halloween.
