Halloween 2012
A cat in a hat, a pumpkin, a vampire and a cheerleader.
Another Halloween has passed with all the ghost and goblins coming out into the night. Started off with having lunch with The Cat In The Hat. Actually, it was my niece Carrie. Her office had a costume contest today. Last year she had made a Cat in the Hat costume for her son, J.J. This year she made one for herself. This picture was taken in front of her building when I arrived to pick her up.
This evening I set up for the Trick or Treaters but they were slow in coming. Most years we get a few starting around 6:00 PM and they are usually all gone by 7:30 or so. Tonight it was not until after 7:00 that the first ones showed up. There really were not all that many kids coming through the neighborhood at all. Each year the numbers get less as more and more churches, schools and businesses have activities for the children. Youngest son, Alan, and his family came over. While he stayed at the house to give out candy Cathy and I took the girls around my neighborhood. Only about every third house had their porch light on, indicating they were open to Trick or Treaters. Tonight Katlyn was a pumpkin, Cadense was a vampire and Madison was a cheerleader. They had already hit the neighborhood near where they live so by the end of the night they pretty much had their "pumpkins" full of candy.

I love the Cat in the Hat outfit!!! It is one of the few childhood books I actually remember. I loved Dr Seuss!
I see the stores trying to get Halloween to take off here, but I think it should just stay an American tradition.
Glad you liked Carrie's outfit. She is very talented. This was the ralative, besides her mother, that Joanne was closest to. Jo would have been so proud of her.
