  2. I love these! I’ve made them before as well and I used to wear a Cat in the Hat, from Dr. Zeus, hat every year and paint whiskers on my face. I haven’t done in that in a few years…maybe it’s time to drag it out. 🙂

  5. Thanks for the memories, Kiddo. The cost of costumes was only part of it. I always figured that when you are good at something…(kind of like you writing this blog). Plus there is something about a witch giving candy to children out of a cauldron that seems so like Halloween.
    Love you,
    Mom
