Doggie Dentures

Hello 2010! Check out Pige's doggie dentures.

Stanley

Wooh hoo! We had a car show at work today where employees brought their cool cars in to show off. I didn't have anything to show off, but I did get to ride in this 1900's Stanley Steamer.

My coworker Greg owns it and took me and a few other people for a ride down the street. We had to stop on the way back to fix a technical difficulty, but overall the ride was surpisingly smooth. My favorite part has to be the sound of the steam driven pistons. What a wonderful Friday afternoon!

When One Door Closes, Another One Opens

I totally missed my opportunity to buy the pet rider costume for Pige. I'm crossing my fingers it will work out for next year!!

However, when Mark was looking for that dog costume the day after Halloween, he came across this. And he bought it. And I love it.

This is the first year UPS has licensed their logo for use on a Halloween costume and the costume was half off, so I made Mark buy it. (It didn't take much persuasion)

But, Pige better watch out........I might put it on her if we don't have any kids soon!!

Just Relaxing

This is how I found Lizzie relaxing on a chair yesterday morning. It does not look comfy to me, but she sat like this for more than 30 minutes!

Happy Halloween!

Mark and I had a great Halloween this year. We dressed up as a witch and a wizard for our church Trunk-or-Treat event on Friday night. Mark went a little nuts with the decorations and created an entire scene including a faux brick wall, fireplace with mantle (plus the creepy cat picture seen here), and table with potions and jars of gross stuff (eyeballs, fingers, rats....)

Gwen and Nicholas stopped by on their way to another party. And I'm glad Gwen was able to take pictures of us. The flash on the camera takes away from the spooky effects quite a bit, so trust me that it looked better than this in the dark. :)

He's a cute monkey! And I'm a scary witch!

All of our hard work paid off because we won a prize for the Scariest Decorations! Mark is seriously already planning for next year.

Creepy Cat

Since we're on the subject of Halloween, I thought I'd give you a sneak peak of something we've been working on.....

Mark and I are going to be a witch and a wizard for Halloween this year. (It wasn't my first choice, but I think its turning out to be pretty cool.)

This picture will be part of our 'Trunk-or-Treat' set up. You'll have to wait until after the weekend to see the final pictures, but I hope it is successful.

Pet Costumes - Part 2

Just to make things fair among the animals, I have found an equally awesome costume for Dave. How cute is this shark sweater? (not the cat, just the sweater) Fun and functional!!

If you're worried about Lizzie being left out of the Halloween festivities, don't be. She barely even let's me pet her, so I know better than to try to wrangle a costume onto her.
