Happy Halloween from Scooby & the Gang!

Ford has been obsessed with Scooby Doo for 6 to 8 months now; I was thrilled since it was one of my favorite shows growing up.  We found the newest incarnation, Mystery Incorporated, on Netflix, and turns out Jamie and I love it as much as Ford - it references some of our own favorites, including Twin Peaks and Doctor Who (seriously, it's the best).  Every night this summer and fall we've played "pretendies," where we would be Fred, "Belma," Shaggy, and "Daph-a-ne;" we'll get traps from the trap store to get the baddies, then take their masks off to see who they are.  So when Ford wanted to be Fred for Halloween, and wanted to do a complete family costume, we weren't surprised.  Margot was in love with inflatable Scooby, so she willingly bought into the whole thing.

On November 1st, I asked Ford what he thought he'd want to be next year.  His response:  "Fred....Yes, I do think I want to be Fred.  For a lot of Halloweens."
