Awww, sweet little kitty, Isabel. Her trick-or-treat bag is hand decorated with her own creations!
Not a happy camper....
Where'd he go? Oh wait....that's Ian flailing in the background.....we quit trying to hold him up for pictures and finally just laid him down gently and let him kick it out.....

So Isabel was the "purrrrrfect" little black kitty for Halloween and smiled in every picture. She had a wonderful time trick or treating in Grandma's neighborhood with Uncle Mike, Mommy, Daddy, Ian, Aunt Kate and Uncle Paul and Maya, their dog. All the little orange things on the front door are decorations Isabel drew and taped up for Halloween. To the right of Isabel is the amazing howling wolf pumpkin that Rob carved, and to the left is an Elmo carving (you kind of have to squint and use your imagination). You can't really see this, but Iz also drew with a chalk a really giant outline of Uncle Mike celebrating his birthday on the front porch....his chalk legs go all the way down the stairs.
And here is Ian:
Trick-or-treating went fairly well. Ian started off riding in the wagon, then after realizing that sister was running up to every door, he wanted to go too....so he followed her a couple of times, then we realized we should put a bag in his hand...he really enjoyed holding it. He also said, "cow" a couple of times and "mooed" down the street, but after a face plant on the pavement, and the temperature dropping, Ian and Mommy decided to head back to Grandma's in search of his lovey, Blue Bear. He walked the entire way back, and went to bed without complaint. Before bed, I got a few pics without tears...but no smiles.
Once Isabel and the rest of the crew got back, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Uncle Mike and ate some festive Halloween Birthday cake.
