I’m so thankful to say that aside from a few downed trees, our neighborhood was largely spared from the wrath of Hurricane Sandy, and all our friends and family in the area are safe and sound. The photos and news coverage of the mass destruction have been just unreal, and my heart goes out to all who are still dealing with the aftermath.
On a happier note, Toby strut his stuff last weekend at a Halloween contest at our local Petco, and the little guy won! Without knowing a word of French! His costume consisted of:
- a white tee from the toddler section of Target. I snipped off the long sleeves, and stripified the body using painter’s tape and black spray paint
- an awesome felt beret from Dog in a Fez, which Toby didn’t try to yank off his head even once
- a tissue paper flower pin I DIYed using the same method as my birthday flower wall
Wishing you all a safe and happy Halloween! If you’re planning on a spooky night in, here’s a list of scary movies to rent.
Stop it! I can’t!

Oh my goodness, how precious! Toby looks great, and I love that you DIY’d his little costume!
Oh my gosh! So cute! I wish that my dog would let me put a costume on her.
Oh em gee. This photo makes my day.
Oh my gosh he is just too cute! Congrats on the win.
So Parisian!! You should teach him some simple commands like ‘sit’ in French. How cute would that be???
‘Le sit Toby’… ;)
Thank goodness you were unscathed! Philly was mostly unharmed as well, but the devastation north of us in NJ and NY is pretty sad. I can’t even imagine. I hope the clean up efforts move quickly!
Toby and I had pretty much the same costume this year! What a dashing fellow he is :)
…and without knowing a lick of French? Amazing. That lil guy steals my heart everytime!
So glad to hear that you made it out safely and unharmed by Sandy! News coverage of her is so devastating to hear! Congrats on Toby’s win, he’s too adorable!
Happy Halloween :)
cute overload! cute overload! and, just what the doctor ordered for these crazy times. happy halloween!
Oh he’s adorable. I’m glad that y’all are safe and made it unscathed through the storm. Happy Halloween!
First of all, so so glad to hear you guys made out ok! That was without a doubt the scariest, most intense storm I’ve ever sat through and the devastation is absolutely heartbreaking.
Glad to see a picture of Toby’s cute little face and fab costume. Love it!
Congratulations, Toby! He looks so precious, I can’t stand it.
Happy Halloween, Lady!
