Halloween Costume Contest

Every year our complex has a Halloween Costume contest. It’s definitely meant for people and kids, but for the past two years we’ve entered Herbie. Hurley would be a better entry since he likes being dressed up, but Herbie is on our lease.

Last year Herbie won a free car wash gift certificate. This year he won a Target gift card. They always put his picture up in the office, somehow I don’t think he’d be happy about that. He never looks happy when we take his picture.

Hurley on the other hand likes to play dress up. We have a couple of ties we bought from Target. We were shopping for cat food, I turned around and there were the cat costumes…all on clearance. How can you say no to a tie for $1.99? We figured it’d be cute, crazy but cute. We ended up buying two of them. Last year Bob’s mom got us a Santa hat and cape. Ernie and Lucky will have no part of the ties or the Santa hats. We got Lucky to wear it for like 10 seconds last year. Jack will tolerate it for a few minutes but he’s not thrilled about it. There’s no way I’d even try to put anything on Pippi….well actually maybe I’d put a dress on her. Maybe she takes exception to the fact that we’re trying to put a tie on her.
