It was a warm night and all the ghouls, and goblins, witches and wizards had a great time wandering the neighborhood. Our neighborhood is teeming with kids, and the roar of giggles and conversation was quite loud if you were standing outside. Preparation for Halloween on Minter Place is a neighborhood affair–we raid our collective closets and costume stashes, we plan and sew and glue together, so it’s always fun to see the results!

Jeffery’s dad got into the act dressing as Snape.
Oh yes, we did spend the early afternoon decorating the cookies, which are delicious:
After I got tired of walking around, James came over, and I spent the rest of the evening with sitting in the Rocking Chair on my porch handing out treats and crocheting.
