Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't been out much today, so I haven't seen any amazing costumes.

They're doing some work at the CTA station near me. They're dumping big loads of gravel onto the street, then using loaders to dump the gravel into one of those round things suspended from a crane, then lifting it up onto the tracks. A little boy was all excited by all the construction equipment moving gravel about, and a construction worker was stoking his excitement, by saying "Ooooh! Oh yeah! All right!" and stuff like that as they watched.

Because books.

We took the cheerleader trick-or-treating (she declined to zombie it up, sadly), and the Roaming Gnome went out on his own with his buddy. They're back now, though, counting their loot and crowing with Sara.

It was FREEZING. Saw lots of princesses, a few wolfmen, a few preteens in costumes of indeterminate homemade nature, and lots of tired, chilled parents.

My neighbors who will be watching the cats stopped by: Mary Poppins, Chim Chim Cheree, a Hungarian fairy (she's Hungarian, this is her first US Halloween) and Red Riding Hood. Awesome! Plus got a few more kids.

And Devi totally didn't hide. Matt was even able to go and pet her and SHE DIDN'T HIDE! He's a total cat whisperer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It is time for the pull-ups, flea.

I found out that my MiL and her sister stole the kids from DH and took them to the Grove to TorT. On the one hand I'm a bit sad to miss out on the TorTing, and on the other I am very happy for the kids as it will no doubt be more excitement than they would have had with us.

No TorTers yet, but the timing skews late in our neighborhood. Besides, it's not quite dark yet.
