Die Buchwalds

With thanks to the good folks at SQPN, specifically Father Roderick, the story of Jack the Depressed Pumpkin:

We here at Casa de Buchwald will be home this evening handing out treats to anyone who shows up at our door in costume. Everyone is “dressing up” this year!! I’ll be in full Hogwarts uniform as Hermione Granger & Ratzi has grudgingly agreed to change his name to Crookshanks for the evening, but that doesn’t guarantee he’ll hang around. Linus, too, has changed his name. He’s now known as Nermal and I think it’s safe to say he’ll eagerly greet EVERYONE tonight. Matt will be a… wait for it… (/me points up to the website address) ninja, with hair because he’s not brave enough to shave his head.

I don’t believe it. More later when I’ve gathered my thoughts.

Matt carved a little pumpkin & we set it out on our porch (picture to follow). We also watched the SNL Halloween DVD… very funny stuff, even if it was made before Jimmy Fallon’s Halloween Carols… guess we’ll just have to wait for volume two someday.

We handed out treats but only got 6 trick-or-treaters. I suspect the rain kept some kids away… the little boy who lives two doors down didn’t come over.

We were bums & didn’t do costumes this year, but I did wear my halloween sweatshirt that glows in the dark.

Ratzi & Linus enjoyed a little bit of the excitement, too. I left the inside door open so we could see when people came up the steps, but mostly the cats just had a great time watching the bugs flying around our light.

It was hard work & eventually they passed out together on the couch (with a little help from me, lol)
