I am always stuck carving the pumpkins by myself. Leith helped for a while before running off to play. Niall ordered a 'cyclops' pumpkin as he headed off down the street.
I am still mourning the theft of my largest pumpkin, but the others made very fine jack-o-lanterns. Soldier costumes were popular this year, but Niall had the best outfit.
Leith changed from Phantom to Vampire mid-week and stuck with it. He complained that the lipstick 'blood' itched, but he wore his teeth around town for three days.Grandpa Carl stopped by and joined the boys as they went house to house before joining us for a supper of "Mummy Dogs".
Coral helped in her friend's backyard Spook Alley, while India trick-or-treated with friends in a different neighborhood. Shawn Gillies, in town for a conference, stopped by to see Kevin. We treated him to a screening of our favorite vampire movie- Roman Polanski's "The Fearless Vampire Killers" from 1966, featuring Sharon Tate. It is creepy on so many levels, while at the same time being completely silly and campy. I'm not sure what Shawn really thought-I still find him and his friendship with Kevin a bit enigmatic.

I have not seen that movie...will have to check it out!
No really, the movie was great! I laughed about the gay vampire all the way home...then I found myself wishing it was me instead of you snuggling with Kevin on the "chair"...may have to talk with my therapist about that one! :) Seriously, though, I really enjoyed seeing you guys. Thanks for having me over!
