I have to admit that my husband is the one who first thought to dress up
our rabbit, Penny. He's a bit fuzzy as to the reason why (aside from
it seeming to be a good idea at the time). When I went searching for
the picture, I found it aptly titled: Do you have any idea how hard it
is to pose a rabbit? He foolishly assumed that she would co-operate
and not attempt to play with and/or eat the props. The lure of the
pumpkin was just too great...it had to be tipped over right now.
What you see before you is the culmination of about an hour of
enthusiastic play-time and Penny being too tuckered out to heed the
siren call of the ceramic pumpkin.

Halloween 2011:
Inky's punishment for stealing Penny's Halloween candy was swift and terrible.
A bit of randomness I came up with that fits the season:
Ha! Give you treats?! Nice trick. Now, the way this works is that you give us treats.
I was all sorts of proud that this turned out after eight and a half hours of carving. I haven't carved a pumpkin since I was 9 years old (pretty sure I got it all out of my system here). I didn't have any proper carving tools, so I made do with an exacto-knife, a paring knife, a calligraphy nib, a spoon and some tips you use to pipe icing with (because they were sharp and metal). I also found out the hard way that candles don't really work to light up a pumpkin if you don't do a cut-through.

And they said that making a rabbit-themed version of
Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven couldn't be done!
Halloween 2014:
Overall, I'd have to say that Simon and River tolerated their first real
costumes pretty well. Giving them both a hay cube probably helped.
Thanks for visiting the blog and be sure to come back tomorrow for a special Halloween post! See you then!
