A Garfield Halloween

 Our makeshift movie theater

At some point in their lives, I think many children in this country go through a "Garfield" stage.  I know there was a time when I read the comic strip books all the time.  Will is following suit.  He has checked out several books from the library and Mike has also let him watch a Garfield cartoon that he had recorded on an old VHS.  Remember those???!!!  We still have a VCR and an old 13 inch television set that we affectionately call, "Goldie".  I can't seem to get rid of this relic.  It has something to do with the fact that I saved my money to pay for it way back when.  I think it might have taken me over a year of saving money from chores to buy it, but I digress...
 
Will wanted to share his combined love for Halloween and Garfield with his friends this October so we hosted a playdate.  Mike already had a mini man cave set up in the garage with the television and VCR.  He cleared up a nice space for the kids and we had a viewing.  It got a little crazy up in here, but we had a good time.  Someone counted 17 children at one point.  Whoa!

I LOVED Garfield at some point. Those books were great.
