Rats

Our friend Joan took on the job of hosting the Chinese New Year festivities this year and we had a blast. I scoured a couple of stores looking for celebratory goodies and came upon some gems in the Halloween sale bins: Rodent noses!
The masquerade lasted all of five minutes but I did manage to snap a few pictures of Jack and his beauties: Makena, Lulu, Alice and Sally. He was really sweet and played with them without complaining. He even allowed them to chase him with swords, wands and fairy wings all evening.
Sally and Makena stole themselves away and took a minute to discover the candy I had added to the goody bags. I'll rethink that next year. Before I knew it, Makena had eaten her entire bag (and most of Jack's) and did not fall asleep on the car ride home at nine o'clock at night -- because she was "jacked" on sugar!

Thank you Joan (and family) for allowing us to trash your house. (I mean celebrate with you.) But then that should be expected since you invited a bunch of rats over for dinner...
