So Halloween is now over...

...and the few decorations I had out...

...are now packed away until next year.

Baby has made herself quite at home in the living room bay window (which, by the way, used to be Spotty's favorite hangout. There are quite a few similarities between the two of them which will, I'm sure, be the topic of a future blogpost.)

Once again, I seem to have captured an orb in a photo, right next to all our fur babies' urns in the bay window. I capture orbs on a pretty regular basis, and they always seem to have an 'energy' to them (as opposed to being just a round speck of dust... you can click the photo to enlarge it)... So today, the house is back to normal, but this is what it looked like on Halloween night when the trick-or-treaters arrived...

Lamp Bandit took center stage in the bay window and greeted everyone (I washed the windows that afternoon. They were SO dirty I didn't think anyone would even see Lamp Bandit if I didn't!).

Baby was not thrilled at having to share the window with Lamp Bandit...

...and she made that perfectly clear by sporting her "ears back, ticked off" look every time I tried to take her photo. I promised her the lamp would be moved back over to the side of the window as soon as trick-or-treating was over...

..and that seemed to put her in a better mood.

Not to be outdone by Lamp Bandit, Ms. Floor Lamp Floozy wanted equal time.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween :)

The Witch and I are speaking again...

Earlier this week I told you that Patience was giving me the cold shoulder - all because I stole her lampshade hat for (heaven forbid) a lamp!

Well, Bandit lamp and I are happy to report that Patience is in a much better frame of mind these days. The pink fedora has been replaced....

...with a stylish witch hat, and just look at the smile on her face now!

Originally she wanted to wear both the mask and the hat, but I convinced her that wearing both was a bit much...

...so she finally agreed to let Mr. Lamp wear the mask.

It's so much more pleasant now that we're on speaking terms again.

Be sure to head over to see Cindy at My Romantic Home for her Show & Tell Friday post, as well as a list of all the other bloggers participating this week. Happy (almost) Halloween!
