Happy Halloween!

 

 

We LOVE Halloween here at Casa De Marv! Our Mom has always LOVED to decorate and scare the kiddies! 

This year will be better than last year. Mom was NOT ALLOWED to walk last year. Alex was working overseas and Mom had to put the basket with the glowing green vampire teeth on the front step. There were NO special lights, decorations or even a front light! Needless to say, we did NOT get very many kids. 

 

 

I Marvelous and my buddies will be hiding under the bed, but in my imagination, I shall be  Count Marvelous the Vampire!!!

 

 I shall collect FISH (instead of Candy)! 

Jo Jo will be prowlling with Precious!

They are going to Princesses! 

 

 What will YOU be doing!

Keep being AWESOME 

 

 

BOO!

 

Hi Guys! Marv Here!

 

 

Halloween is going to be pretty low key at Casa De Marv this year. Furrst, our human brother Alex is working overseas and won't be home until after.

Mom broke her femur and can't walk, so she will have to use a wheelchair to dispense treats to the kids...

 

SOoooo, that means there will be NO YARD decorations! All of our ghosts and witches have moved up the street to the OTHER big scary house this year.

 

What us cats have been thinking is HOW we will escape Mom's feeble clutches (she cant grab and carry us - Hee Hee) and actually be outside through the festivities! 

 

Here are our ghosts celebrating Halloween on the other side of the village!

Are you Ready?

 

 

 

Trick or Treating!

This year we are going out to celebrate Halloween with all the other Kitties! 

We are headed to the pawty at the community hall all dressed up in our Vampire Costumes!

Well its nice to dream. Actually we will spend the evening in the back beadroom listening to the radio as all the kids come through the ghosts to collect their tricks and treats! 

Spooky Spark??

McGuffy’s who was hosting the Sparks is on hiatus,  mes is going to keeps posting them anyway!  She says “I truly do believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!”

 Hi Guys! 

We survived Halloween 2021 with NO ESCAPEES. Kozmo and I and Cinnamon chilled out in Mom's Bedroom. We got treats and BC Buddy, the TV was on so we could not hear all the excitement and we had a restful evening. Jo Jo was in the Man Cave downstairs.  Yes, we got some of the good stuff for being such good cats!

Mom likes to decorate the yard up, over the years she has built grave yards, filled it with ghosts, witches, super heroes, pirates, and spiders. Since the 1990s Rachel (a life size doll of an old lady) has been a part of the evening. This year (like last year) she was a witch.

Rachel's transformation from mild mannered old lady doll to Persephone Darkbird — The Hedge Witch

This year we incorporated video, lights and music.

 Note: We played a playlist from YouTube and the song playing in the background was part of that. 

Here are a couple of shots of the  house and yard as it got dark

Over to Mom!

Our village is where the farm kids come to Trick or Treat. We have the regional high school and the kindergarten to Grade 5 kids.  In the past, our house was the only one that had more than pumpkins. I would put up the decorations on the day of the festivities, and around 9 pm they all go down and disappear. It was fun to see that our village sported a dozen decorated yards this year! The year I moved to Vancouver, the village decided they would have a bonfire with hot chocolate, coffee and hot dogs from 5:30-8 pm for the trick and treaters and their parents. This has generated a festive atmosphere as all the kids and their parents wander the streets. So different from the big city.  (We also had twice as many kids this year as last year.) 

I really noticed how polite the kids are, the older kids are respectful and I find it wonderful that they prefer to hang onto being kids than wanting to be all grown up! When handing out the last of the candy just before 8, one teen told me he did not want any candy as he had already been around and he was bringing his friends to his favorite places. He and his buddies wanted to know how we got the video on the house windows and offered to help me take down the decorations so they would not get all frosted. 

All in All, Halloween was AWWW-SOME!

Artsy Halloween Caturday!

 Hi Guys! Are you ready for all the ghosts and goblins tomorrow night? We are! Mom got us some special Halloween Treats and she will move a litter box into her bedroom for the duration of the hauntings. Usually we get ensconced at around 4 pm as sometimes the little ones come really early. We probably won't get let out of the bedroom until after 8 pm. What happens to you guys while the kids run around haunting your neighborhood?

In keeping with the festivities, I, Marv wanted spooky scary art and I think we did it purrfectly!

And for you so you can have some scary fun too, we made a puzzle!
