our super family

the annual rizzo halloween party has come and gone.
we had over 80 guests this year!
the theme was superheroes.
(toby: green lantern; simon: iron man; rick: spiderman;
sue: wonder woman (in a costume rick made from scratch,
including a skirt that he sewed!))
rick worked his usual magic in our front room.
only, this year, it wasn't a rabbit's hole or erupting volcano.
instead, it was a city scape with attacking robots
and pumpkin-headed superheroes to save us.
superman "flew" above the robot's head.
captain america's shield lit up red.
the skyline was dotted with light-up stars and moon.
sue, toby and simon drove a mater-like car
with functioning headlights,
shouting "ahhh...robots...help us, superheroes!"
superman, captain america, the hulk and spiderman
all dropped in.
serving the food in the dining room,
aka the "bat cave,"
were batman...
...and robin, the boy wonder.
offerings included:
SUPERMANicotti
SPIDERMANtipasto
garlic bRED SKULL
GREEN LANTERNovers
tiramiSUPERGIRL
&
HALva JUSTICE
for the first year ever,
the number of kids at the party
equaled the number of adults.
as halloween is a time to be with friends,
toby and simon wouldn't have had it
any other way. ;-p
