Mmmmm mmmmm good.

Well, Ray was much more blase about Halloween this year than last. He didn't get up for every door knock and he was more excited to 'see' Murphy and his old friend, Ike, than he was to see the kids (not that he wasn't excited, he just managed to control himself a bit better). By 8:00 the excitement was mostly over. I went to pick up dinner at a local restaurant (I can't WAIT for the kitchen to be finished) and we sat down to eat around 8:30.

The stragglers were still stragglin' in while Gregg and I enjoyed some fine Italian take-out. Ray was asleep at the foot of the couch. When a knock came, I covered my food with the plastic take-out lid and we got up to answer the door. We returned to our meal. Another knock. Ray was still asleep at the foot of the couch. I forgot to cover my food with the plastic lid and by the time we finished handing out candy and had returned to our meal, Ray had his face in my plate and was licking the sauce off of my agnolotti, (rapini and sausage ravioli with aurora sauce, mushrooms and onions). I threw out the two ravioli that had been licked clean and continued to eat. Mmmmm mmmmm good.
