It's very wet and windy here, so trick or treating has been cancelled, except for our grandkids! I'll get pics of them tomorrow when they come back, since I totally spazzed and forgot to take any tonight. DuH.

But, I do have pics of the pumpkins my hubby carved.

We are going to be settling in for our annual re-watch of "Young Frankenstein".

Be safe! Eat chocolate, but not too much!

Finally finished the sshg_exchange fic!! Huzzah! It's with my darling beta right now and I hope there's not too many things that need correcting.

I also did laundry, made 2 cakes and pudding (for this dessert I'm making for our team at work for Halloween), baked chicken for later in the week and made shepherd's pie. I also put some chocolate graham cracker crumbs thru the food processor as I am also making this triple chocolate cheesecake for the Halloween dessert contest at work.

And baby is NOT going to work that day, so who knows how the hell I'm going to get them both inside. ETA: Baby is keeping the car so dropping me off. That means he can help carry stuff in. Huzzah!

I am making the cheesecake tomorrow since it has to cool completely before the ganache goes on top. Then I'm adding a piped on spider web and white spider for decoration.

The kitty litter cake will be presented in a (new) litter pan as in the picture. Heh. That one will be assembled on Tuesday.

My costume is an orange tee shirt that says "This is my costume" on the front. Hee.

I'm happy to be finished with the exchange fic since my romance o-fic has been haunting me recently. I figure if hubby can go for his comic artist dream, I should go for the novel thing.

I'm exhausted, but in a good way. I'm going to be going over to the sofa in a minute and collapsing. :)

Hubby carved an awesome pumpkin:



We were visited by our adorable grandkids:



And we had about a dozen trick or treaters...Jason, a ninja, a rodeo clown, several princesses and assorted camouflaged zombies. I think there may have been a pirate or two, as well.

After the doorbell stopped ringing, hubby and I settled down to watch "Young Frankenstein", which is our own Halloween tradition.

All in all, a lovely first Halloween in our house. :)

Today we tackled this pile:



And it looks like we'll be living in a library--



And we are FINE with that!

More pics coming soon.
