HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Although we initially got a frog costume for Phoenix, we ended up choosing a monkey costume ("swedishmonkeybaby"!). And, after we went trick-or-treating in downtown Redmond shops and at the Redmond fire station, we changed Phoenix into this trick-or-treater-greeter outfit! The skeleton bones on his black shirt glow in the dark! It was warm enough to sit outside on the front porch to greet trick or treaters and give them their treat bags. We had over 100 trick or treaters, this year... maybe close to 200. Phoenix helped put together treat bags for all the kids. Everyone loved our "spooky" outside decorations and lights, and several parents even took pictures of their costumed kids, in front of our jack-o-lanterns and 6 foot furry, hanging tarantula on her extra large web.
