Well, it is finally November…only 3 short weeks and a couple of days to the due date!  And it is the day after Halloween (which may be my favorite holiday.)  I know Michelle just posted about our street, but I thought I would elaborate…

Oh my God! It was like the Castro for kids! Thousands of kids everywhere…One block down, they close off the whole block and every house is made up in some sort of Harry Potter theme.  It stretches up to our street where our next door neighbors had the Prizon of Azkaban and our across-the-street neighbors had Hagrid’s Hut with a dragon that blew smoke!  It reminded me of our Club 615 days. (615 is the address of our old house where we used to throw a huge Halloween party every year…)  One year we thought it would be a good idea to buy a smoke machine, but not only did the whole house fill with smoke in about 2 minutes, it also smelled REALLY bad.  And little did we know that the smoke detector would not like this idea.  Needless to say we didn’t have it on for long…but I digress…Our street was like a huge carnival where everyone was dressed up!  We bought 3 huge bags from Costco and they were gone in 45 minutes!

I guess I will have to read up on Harry Potter so we can come up with a crazy theme for next year (post your suggestions here.)  We’ll want Sesame to be the cool kid on the block!
