Happy Halloween Weekend!

Halloween was so fun when our kids were little!  I miss those times when they would get all dressed up and we'd carry them all over our neighborhood trick or treating.  We had one of those great neighborhoods that was chock full of young families and wonderful friends - a place where families from all over our little town would bring THEIR kids to trick or treat!  It was like one big neighborhood party on Halloween! I miss that...  And this is not necessarily a Halloween post.  Just didn't know what to call this 'un! 

Alice has been up to her antics.  Last night she climbed up the giant sycamore tree. I heard her meowing up there and looked for her with a flashlight.  She was WAYYYYY up there at least 20-25 feet off the grown. She wasn't trying to get down, just enjoying the view I guess.  Maybe trying to get away from Jasper (or CB as we call him sometimes - Cry Baby). 

Anyway, there is a big hole in the middle of the truck that we've seen owls get in before.  Alice found the hole, and she was having a ball playing around in there.  I couldn't convince her it was time to come down so we left her up there.  She's good at climbing trees and backing down.  Hayley and I were outside at the fire pit enjoying the chilly autumn evening and the warm fire.
Isn't she cute???



"Alice, don't you wanna come down  now?"  "No way, Jose," she says. "Jasper is still out there on the loose!"
"Come on down, Alice,  we'll give you a treat???"
"Nope," she says.  "I'm going to stay up here and scare away all the goblins on Halloween night!"
"BOO!!!"
