Timmy's Birthday Party, Gee Gee and Dot's Trip and Halloween!!

Well, here are tons of pictures!! We got to have Timmy's birthday party last Sunday and we had a BEAUTIFUL fall day to have it. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the weather was perfect. Mr. Blue was there and dressed up like a wizard and had the kid's attention from the minute he arrived. Timmy got lots of nice presents and we had a wonderful afternoon at the park.

Mom and Dot made it across the US and finally made it here on Sunday afternoon. After stories of creatures who ate small animals and prank calls from all of us, they finally made it here. We had told mom that there were gargoyles in Arizona and that she might have to sacrifice one of the cats if she drove after dark. On Saturday she kept telling us that she was in New Mexico all day and HC would call and let us know where she was. He called Saturday night and told us that they were in Needles for the night. We called the motel's front desk, who connected us to their room and John told them that there had been gargoyle sightings that evening and if they heard any scratching at the door, not to answer it.....and she believed us for a split second! She wanted to know how we knew where they were and we told her that B had put a GPS on her car and we had been tracking them the whole way. She was all upset until we told her that it was HC who was the "GPS System", but we didn't tell her that until Sunday.

On Tuesday, we went down to Beverly Hills and walked Rodeo Drive. We had a great time and went to Tiffany's and Cartier. We had lunch down there and just had a great afernoon. Dot surprised John and I that night and told us that she would watch the kids so we could have a date. We went to Sheils'a for dinner and it was so nice to have a a conversation with each other and not have the boys with us! But we sure did miss them and were only gone for about an hour and a half. We just feel lost without them!!

Halloween was great too! Miss Dot and I took the boys to the outlet mall and all the stores were handing out candy! Timmy must have gotten half a bag full in about 45 mintues. Even little Michael got a couple of pieces of candy, that mommy really enjoyed!! Then John took Timmy trick-or-treating for a couple of hours and they came home with 12 lbs of candy!

Early Thursday morning we had to say good-bye to Miss Dot. We sure do miss her and we're so glad she came out with Gee Gee and hope she had a great time!
