And so...being as I haven't posted pics of them in a while, here are a few pictures of the babies.
Here's Abbey trying to get closer to the candy-pot. She was hoping I wouldn't notice
(she's got her front legs on the table).
Sophie is dressed up as a "dog" (hot dog-bull dog...get it? Sometimes I kill myself!)
A side view of Ms. Abbey being BAD. She is a cutie tho and gets away with a lot.
Side view of Sophie. She was really calm this year, except for the few costumes that startled her...otherwise she was really great! A lot of kids pet them both (which they LOVED!)
Abbey keeping a sharp eye out for kids (before they started, our first kid was at 6:12pm). 
Here she's again watching the candy bowl. She's really good at guarding things with food in them!
Here they're waiting patiently for the next kids to arrive.
Taking a time-out from door-guard, resting on the rug (guarding the door is hard work apparently!)
Sophie caught me taking their picture.
Nearing the end, Abbey is all tuckered out. Getting petted by a bunch of
Trick or Treaters must really be draining!
Our fireplace mantle decorations: Jeannie found a string of scary pumpkin lights, and we entwined them in a nice double strand of fall color leaves. On the right is her "Haggatha" witch that she got when she was in Salem Mass a few years back.

And so....another Halloween is in the books. We had really great weather (as usual, we ARE in California after all). Probably right around 60 when I turned off the lights...not too shabby.
Hope your Halloween was scary fun like ours!
Cheers!
Just peeked at the College Football scores...Michigan CRUSHED Penn State! Woo-HOOO! (huge win, really needed that!) Georgia whipped up on Kentucky pretty good (got to see some of that game, the Bulldogs look pretty good!) Purdue AGAIN whipped a ranked team! I'd hope Purdue will get in the top 25 now...shows they are not a fluke (after KILLING Ohio State's National title dreams). Notre Dame is playing Northwestern right now...tied 7-7 (Michigan really needs ND to win pretty solidly). And then THE game of this weekend...LSU/Bama...still st qtr, no score thus far. That game will tell a lot about Bama.
ReplyDeleteWell...ND did their job and beat Northwestern. Now it will come down to the Wolverines NOT losing to either unranked Rutgers or Indiana (doubtful, but hey, anything can happen)...and THEN, finally getting killing the Mastadon in the room and beating their nemesis OSU on their home turf. Rankings mean nothing in that game...it will be a straight up dogfight of two pretty good teams. Michigan wins that they have a real shot at the BCS (depending on how Georgia does, as at the moment they are the other team in contention for that 4th playoff spot). BCS or not, the Wolverines MUST finally beat OSU! Doing it in the horseshoe would be a great statement. I think they FINALLY have the team to do it too. They are truly looking better and better. That loss to Notre Dame in week 1, ouch. I think if they played it again right now it would be a vastly different game...but it's hard to rank a team ahead of the team that beat them (which is the only reason ND is 4 and MI is 5). And now with LSU dropping out of that #3 spot ND will move to 3, and either MI or Georgia will be #4. Can't take away anything from the Bulldogs, they are also a formidable team...and a Georgia/Michigan game would be AWESOME (but we won't get that unless somehow they both make it to the BCS...then there is a chance). Can either Georgia or Michigan stay with Bama for 4 quarters? I think they both can...don't think ND would fare so well...but that's just my biased opinion.
ReplyDeleteAnd so. Here we are. An HOUR earlier once again due to the STUPID time change. On the CA ballot this year is a proposition to stop the state from going into DST....I hope it passes. I HATE DST!! There is just no reason for it. This time change is always the turning point of my riding season, where I start my annual Holiday decline. Sadly this year I'm already declined...if I go much further down in my fitness I might as well park the bikes and start ordering in sitting on the couch full time. OK...gotta go..so much to do, so little time (but I do have 1 extra hour today...and was I able to sleep in with that hour? NO! I was WIDE AWAKE at freaking 4:30am BEFORE the hour back! Now it's 5:30 and I've already made us both eggs, watered all the plants, walked around and set all the clocks, and watched part of a movie. Gonna be a LONG day...maybe I can take a nap later before doing laundry.
