How Was Halloween?

[kendrafitz]

Rosie LOVES Halloween. I usually dress like a pirate and give out candy with her on my shoulder. This year I just went with a Halloween shirt, since keeping a pirate hat on can be very difficult with my diva. She chewed a nice hole in it when I wasn't paying attention, so I guess she approved.

It is always so much fun to get the double takes, the Whoa...is that bird real? comments and the questions. Rosie loves kids, so she has a blast being in the limelight and being admired. :). She never gets tired of hopping on my shoulder and heading to the door to greet all the little costumed visitors.

She also fell in love with one of my sons friends last night. She was chatting, posturing and doing everything she could to get to him. When I took her into another room, she had a tantrum and then nipped me. Which was a first, I have always been her person of choice. But it was so interesting for me to observe.

So it was a fun Halloween for the Fitz Farm. How did everyone else do? Do your feathered friends love it, or does the chaos make them nervous?

Here's a pic of us a couple years ago, when she was a baby and much easier to distract:

The candles are battery operated, no fire hazard

Cute photo of you both. My Halloween was just the way I like it - uneventful.

Yes, nifty photo :). My Halloween was just like Dianne's.

I normally dress up and go to a party but this year I stayed home lights off and had a scary movie marathon on Netflix.

Glad you all had a nice Halloween!

Robyn - you are a girl after my own heart, I always declare October scary movie month. So much fun!

I love scary movies and since I couldn't go out and I refuse to hand out candy I just watched all the scary movies i could

I was at work most of the night last night, so I missed all the hub-bub. Or lack there of. Apparently there were no trick-or-treaters in my area, and I'm just fine with that. More dark-side skittles for me and mom :) The birds don't mind either, they freak whenever the doorbell rings or someone knocks anyways. So overall, a good thing.

I really like passing out candy and seeing all of the creative costumes. It was pretty uneventful for me this year. I was working and didn't get home until later in the evening. All of the little trick or treaters seem to go out before dark these days. Not like it used to be when I was a kid, we wouldn't think of going out until after dark. Next year I think I will terrorize the neighborhood and run around on the horse as the headless horseman.
My birds don't care either way. For the most part, they love to have company and see new people.
Kendra, I love your pirate costume, it looks great on you and Rosie looks like she's having a lot of fun.
