We had a delightful weekend.

Perry Mason, Mrs. Perry Mason and Perry Mason Jr. came over for trick-or-treating and other fun things all various and sundry. Pete was Darth Vader, so the Familia Mason decided to join his universe as Boba Fett, Obi Wan and Yoda. Rockford’s mother made Poppy a gorgeous Elsa dress, and I ordered a crocheted wig[ref]I wasn’t crazy about the quality, so I’m not going to link to it.[/ref] for her from Etsy. I’d expected to see a swarm of Elsi out there — the other family with whom we trick-or-treat had an Elsa, who roped her parents into being Anna and Kristof — but I only saw seven.

My favorite costume of the evening was the kid dressed as Weird Al Yankovich from the “Fat” video. I laughed loudly when he came strutting up the walk.

This is Birthday Week at our house. Rockford’s sister Mrs. Poppins celebrates today, mine is tomorrow, my dad’s is Wednesday and Pete’s is Friday. And yet there is a marked lack of cake on this week’s menu:

Monday: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Some warm and gooey sandwiches sound just right after the blustery weekend we had.

Tuesday: Ordering in

I’ll be taking advantage of all of the Free Thing on Your Birthday offers in town. Or rather, one of them. Probably a sandwich.

Wednesday: Date night

The kids will be having pizza. I don’t know what Rockford and I will be having.

Thursday: Sandwiches

So many sandwiches this week!

Friday: Lasagna

Pete requested a Garfield party for his birthday, so we’ll be having lasagna, garlic bread and salad. I’m pretty sure Garfield wouldn’t approve of the salad, though.

How was your weekend? Did you trick-or-treat? Do you have any candy left? Poppy had big ideas about the “Candy Fairy” coming and leaving her a gift in exchange for all of her candy, but that went out the window as soon as she organized her loot on the dining room table.

I’m linking this up with OrgJunkie.com’s weekly Menu Plan Monday thing.
