Feliz Noche de Brujas!

Nuala made a friend

Bran and Nuala, our zorrillitos, just hangin' out

Happy Halloween! We've always had a soft spot in our hearts for skunks, or zorrillos-- especially the cute little skunk babies that lived under our neighbor's front porch back in VA and would come out to play at dusk. Even Mushi, one of our cats, couldn't resist the furry little guys and wasn't allowed inside for several weeks as a result. So, that's what Bran and Nuala got to be for Halloween, cute little skunks! We went trick-or-treating at the embassy, and I hafta say, I had forgotten about the post TorT-ing excitement of sifting through all the loot. I'm glad the parent tax this year is 100% :) Also, a video of Nuala trying on her costume earlier. Bran loves soft fuzzy things, unfortunately for her... (click play a couple of times)

They are too cute! the little were-wolf is cute too. And the video was so funny! Bran just wanted to keep knocking Nuala down! Poor Girl just wanted to costume off!! I unfortunately don't get any candy, for some reason using the dogs doesn't yield any candy!

Are you sure Nuala just didn't want to spray the werewolf?

Hi Fiona and Zac....I loved the pics of your little skunks and also ESPECIALLY the video! Poor little Nuala....she was just too soft for Bran to resist rubbing his face in her outfit...she doesn't seem to appreciate it very much! They are a lot of fun to watch and listen to as well... Thanks for sharing so much ....Love, Mom (and Dad too) xox
p.s. hmmm, now that you've announced your novel writing on your blog, you have a new (and improved) responsibility!!! (to your regular readers of course :) )

oh my gosh, they are totally the cutest skunks ever! Those are the best pictures! I haven't gotten to watch the video yet (since I'm at work...) but I can't wait to see it!

Those are the cutest costumes!! Poor nuala Bran was just a little too close for comfort. Mathias thinks there very funny to watch.

Nice costumes. And a fun video, thanks for the update.

So, they should follow in mine and Richard's footsteps. Nuala can call Bran Smellie and he can call her Stinks. At least they'd have reason to call each other that. Richard and I just do it as adults to be weird, no reason. I love to read your posts, they are always so descriptive and pretty amusing. You really should write that novel. How is it coming? Loved the video and the kids. I live in San Antonio now, so maybe I can see you sometime during Christmas.

That is to funny! Where did you get those cute costumes? I wanted to do my kids as thing one and thing two from Cat in the Hat, couldn't find blue hair though.
If you want to start sewing get the Bend the Rules Sewing book, it makes it look so easy!
