No tricks, just treats!

Treat #1

I really like JettyBetty's definition of Halloween! We won't have visitors tonight except maybe the two neighbor boys next door because my whole neighborhood is under construction. Maybe we will spy a black cat or a skunk crossing the street. L will go out and about with friends in another neighborhood. He has always hated dressing up for Halloween so I'm not quite sure what he will be tonight. He says "James Bond." We will see.......

Treat #2

We had a really nice weekend. My mom and uncle came to visit and got the official tour of our new home. We did the touristy stuff on Saturday. Here are the boys with my mom before our "Duck Tour". It is a very fun, informative tour of downtown Austin. The Duck drives around and then you proceed directly into Lake Austin. It is a very strange feeling driving into the lake. After the tour we went to visit the bats that live under Congress bridge. There are millions of them literally - great activity right before Halloween!

Treat #3

As we were waiting for the tour we browsed around the Visitors Bureau store. My son K that is wearing his UT shirt in the picture wants a Hook 'em Horns room. For those of you who don't know it is University of Texas Longhorns. There was a UT poster on the wall in the store. I asked the sales clerk if they had any for sale. She came out of the back with one and told me we could have it for FREE! It was priced $30! We were thrilled! It is a picture of the UT Tower lit orange!
Treat #4

And last but definitely not least is the extent of my free halloween decorating: A real spooky spider and large web conveniently located on my front porch window!

Treat #5

The weather has been absolutely marvelous lately! Perfect autumn weather!

Hope your day is also filled with lots of fabulous treats!

I'm into treats only, too--
Sounds like you had a whole slew of them. I want to do the duck tour.
I like Halloween. I've had a great time with all the cuties coming to my door.
If a few more would come by, perhaps, I could quit eating their candy. ;-)
