We hope everyone has a Spooktacular Halloween!
This Halloween was pretty low-key for us, with no big parties but we still managed to have some fun. Saturday night we went to a costume dog party at Moses' daycare. It was pretty cool to see all the dogs dressed up for Halloween. There was a dog dressed in a butterfly costume, a dog dressed as Johnny Depp from "Pirates of the Caribbean," a bumblebee, Santa, Spiderdog, Superwoman, the headless horseman, and many more. They not only had some great treats for the dogs but the daycare had food for the adults too. There were even games like "Bobbing For Wieners." I didn't think Moses would stick his head in the tub of water because he generally shys away from water but apparently, if there is a hot dog in the water he will stick his head in! Moses visited with a lot of dog friends before the contest for best costume took place. Moses won a prize for having "The Best Large Dog Costume" (for being a pumpkin). We had wanted to get him a new costume this year but Target only had these pajama costumes so we didn't end up getting anything. It was a bummer so we resorted to the good ole pumpkin costume. But apparently it is still super cute as Moses won!
After the Howl-o-ween party we went over to Jon and Danielle's for some pumpkin carving which was fun. B the time we got there the had alread done all the carving but we got to see all the pumpkins illuminated in all their glory. Jung had made a standard pumpkin smiling face, Matt had carved an elaborate cat design, Jon rooted for his San Francisco Giants but carving their letters into a pumpkin and Danielle stuck with some ghoulish ghosts. I was completely amazed b the amount of candy The Bosgul had to buy. Their neighbors told them they get super bus and told them to buy $100 worth of candy. I was impressed they bought the good stuff! No Smarties in the whole lot. Apparently I found out later that they ran out of their $100 worth of candy and had to go even more! Is that crazy or what?
After a late night at The Bosgul House, hub and I totally slept in on Sunday, the day of Halloween and basically didn't get around to doing anything till late in the afternoon as we got too engrossed in watching some "really bad yet, so good" television. After grabbing some food we hit up the local Target and bought some candy. While we were there we saw that Target must have gotten a late shipment of real dog costumes in because not only did they have a wide variety but they had a lot of XL costumes which are really hard to find. We were going to buy a ton but thought that they would go on sale the next day so we held off. Hubby went back the next day and got Moses 4 new costumes for half off! I can't wait for next year!!
Anyhow, we bought some candy and headed home. It was about 7pm so we thought we might have missed all the trick or treaters but about 20 kids showed up. I have never handed out candy from my house before and I have to say even though we only had 20 kids it was really fun to see all the kids come in their costumes. My favorite was this 2-3 year old boy in a Spiderman costume, who amazingly made it up all of our stairs to get his candy! Overall, Halloween was low key but fun none the less! How was your Halloween?
