The kitchen update will have to wait. (I hope nobody was holding his or her breath waiting for that particular bit of news on my blog, btw. If so, sorry for your anoxia and probable brain damage. My bad.)

So, kitchen news has been suspended today in honor of our annual Halloween party here chez nous in the French Alps. It is probably one of the best. (It is also probably just about the only one, so I feel safe making that claim.)

The kids did a bang-up job with the decorating. They did it all themselves and damn they made me proud! I was all "The torch has been passed. My work here is done." and etc...



This was our new cats' first Halloween with us. Dexter found it a bit daunting, but Daisy took it in stride. She even decided to take part and here we see her playing the role of the witch's familiar...
Here Sev sporting his Mafia look..
And Tya's Goth look fits right in at halloween, of course. She didn't even need a costume...
Alexa was the world's most adorable cat. Actually, she reminded me of a recent ad campaign for a perfume that she likes:

Doesn't she look like a grown-up Alexa?Somehow, I didn't manage to get a picture of Mallory. I guess between the treasure hunt and all the other fun, she was running around too much. But she was a super-cute witch....

The party went on until midnight. Pizza was eaten, poker was played and then a bunch of kids slept over. (I had 10 people to feed at breakfast!)
In short, a good time was had by all.

Glad it all went so well!

We went all the way to Canada to avoid the giant parties we've had before. See what happens next year. Glad yours went well. Maybe we'll model it on something like that next year, a little calmer, no? Like it.

She certainly does look like a grown-up Alexa!

I am glad that your Halloween was wonderful, and the witch's familiar is a purr-fect picture, heh.
