I think we should all go to Mom and Dad's on the weekend of Halloween. Maybe bob for apples, bring yummy treats, award prizes for best kid and best adult/couple costumes. We could put together a pretty cool haunted house and maybe attatch Ada to a miniature wagon and enjoy an old-fashioned hay ride. I think their are some cool recipes for cauldrons and I need samplers for my pumpkin cookies and fudge. Also a seed spitting / pumpkin carving contest might be fun.
Anyway, it beats eating all the candy in boredom, wondering when that last trick or treater will arrive.

We were considering going up to the mom and dad's next weekend, but we could wait until halloween if that is what people want to do. My only concern is that I may have to go to South Carolina sometime this month and may not be back for Halloween. I suppose we could do both just in case.
When are you coming to visit us? I thought this weekend would work well.
Well you have to officially invite us.
And with all of those fun things we are going to do at mom and dad's on halloween, I need to know what fun things you are going to plan for us at your house.
Will I get special meals in bed or foot massages?? Will there be games?? Can we put on plays? Will we cook smores or bake cookies? Will we do eachothers hair or nails??
What do you have to offer??????
(Ada wants to know if she's invited since she heard about your new pet. However she knows about Murphy's fate and is kind of scared of you.)
The footrubs and nailjobs sound particularly exciting. And I would LOVVVVE to talk about Ada most of the time, better yet, lets have her and the pointer wrestle indoors!! YES!! YES!! YESSSSSS!!!!
You two!! Oh my gosh, I've not laughed so hard in a long time.
The Porters do hereby officially invite you to our humble adobe this weekend.
Yes to the cookies. Tuck volunteered for giving the foot massages. He does like to tickle. We can put on the play, "The Icecream Man Cometh." It's kind of an audience participation play. I want to curl Greyson's hair, and Mel, I think we should all wear pink jammies.
As for special meals in bed; the only meals I serve in this arrangement are broth, 7-up, and occassionaly a popsicle if you wear a bib and promise to not drip.
Greyson don't be silly about the dogs. We're going to paint their nails and we need them to be still. Let's be sure to exchange potty training tips; Lindy is almost there, but what to do about those now and then oops!?
I've always wondered what it would be like to cover everyone's face, then take a family Christmas picture, naked. Do you think anyone could identify you? Better yet, can you imagine the conversation piece when someone notices the bare yuletide greeting stuck to the fridge. So anyway, we're planning that family event, and you're welcome to join us. I do think since we can't speak for Lindy and Ada, we should allow them to stay clothed. It's what the Humane Treatment for Animals people suggests.
Can't wait to see you guys!
P.S. I like the game, "Bring back my running shoes, and I'll let you beat me at nerts. Forget them and we'll demolish you at Pinochle."
