Until about 2 years ago, Halloween was something I decorated for and passed out candy, but that was it. Now that Jacob is getting older (Wow, 5 years old!) holidays are something different.
We, of course, are now online looking store to store to see what they have as *my* son can't make up his mind. it had changed from a mummy to a pirate to a spooky ghoul about 10 times! He is even invited to his first school birthday party at a little boy's house that will be a costume party. Somehow, I see this turning into TWO different costumes this year! This is gonna get into some serious $$$! Lol

I love Halloween, love the whole spooky season. My daughter has been working on her costume since last year She is going as Sallie from Nightmare before Christmas. She made a prototype doll over the summer and is about half way through making her dress. We just can't figure out how to get her crazy curly hair straight for the costume. We usually have a little party with our homeschool group of teens. They dress up and do just enough trick or treating to still feel like kids and then spend a couple of hours trading and just playing. I think this year we're having a campfire too for some outdoor spooky storytelling when it gets late. They all also love ice skating so we talked about seeing if we could find an open rink for them all to go in their costumes and skate for a while. Since the kids are older now, we send them out on their own and the parents hunker down with wine while they are out there. Helps us be extra excited when they want to show us everything they came home with. |

I just Love Halloween!!! It is one of my very favorite Holidays.
I have a few costumes that are in my closet. One is a Princess, one is a Witch and one is a Clown. Yes they are all very different and it always depends on my mood that year. I do love going out and seeing what is new and different in the costume world. I love that we get to let our crazy self out even only for that day. I wear mine to work when Halloween falls on a working day. I have worn them taking the kids out trick or treating. I love decorating and of course have a couple of boxes in the attic with some really cool stuff. My favorite is my giant spider. Yep I am a little nutty but sure do love having fun and Halloween is a great way to do just that! |

Halloween! I love Halloween. The Body Parts are purchased for the trick or treaters. I still need to get a wolf masquerade mask to go with my Little Red Riding Hood costume, then I'm good to go. If I can just decide which mask. So many to choose from!

Best Halloween Fright...
Yeh so one year I had this mock dressed-up Jack-o-lantern guy sitting in a rocking chair, holding a basket of candy with a sign that told the kids to reach and grab a handful. There were small toys and candy in the basket. It went over so well that the following year I dressed up and sat in the chair with pumpkins all around.
I had on some old clothes and boots and wore a straw hat that hung low enough to hide my face. A similar sign was posted but that year it was a box of small toys and candy. As the kids and their escorts eased up the dark driveway led by glowing lights and pumpkins they hesitantly reached into the box to grab their treats. Little did they know the box grabbed back!! Ahahahaaaaa I had made a hole in the underside of the box and slipped my hand inside. When they would reach in the box I would grab them... OMG the screams from both the kids and their escorts sounded throughout the neighborhood!! It was awesome!! But to coax them back for their actual treat was a bit of a challenge... Holy crap it was so much fun!! Good times!! Good times!! |

Halloween decorations
For the past few years, I've taken some white fabric and stripped it into 2inch strips. Then a made a huge spider web across the front of the house. Using fishing line from the garden to the columns at the front door. Rigged up a black light, ( and the black lights get better each year, lol).
I watch the cars go by and slow down at night. I'm now known not only for the cement creek bed skate ramp in the back yard, but also as the spider web house! Lol

Autumn is my favorite time of year, and halloween is my favorite holiday! This year my roommate is having a pumpkin carving party (this weekend! yikes!) and asked if i would make toasted pumpkin seeds and cook fall-themed foods. I've been making apple crisp every weekend (we went apple picking, so i have lots of fruit to use) and have already frozen a bunch of homemade applesauce for later in the season.
I also am known for setting up haunted house trips. I set up 1 to 2 trips every weekend through the whole month of October where I get groups of people together and go to a haunted attraction. This past weekend we did Bates Motel, which is a haunted house, haunted hayride, and haunted corn maze. My favorite, though, is the old asylum. My costume this year is going to be awesome, as soon as I can find the fabric to make the last part! I'm doing a victorian/steampunk crossover female version of the penguin from the 1950s batman. Purple top hat with veil, black lace parasol, corset, blouse, purple gloves, monocle, cigarette holder, black can-can thigh highs and a purple and black striped bustle skirt with little heeled boots. I am ecstatic over it, since I've been planning it for a while now but never got all the parts together before. Two years ago I was a film noir poison ivy, which was ALSO tons of fun!

I'm so looking forward to it! For the last haunted house we took a half gallon of cider and put 1/2 a bottle of spiced rum into it. SO DELICIOUS~!

Our neighborhood association is starting a community garden. We have a BIG Halloween Party every year, and this year we want to have a table about the garden, so I'm going as a "gardener." Bought a pair of overalls yesterday, gonna wear a flannel shirt under them and have lots of garden tools and seed packets tucked into all the pockets... Hmmmm, just thought, I'll need some sort of gardening hat! Have to look through my stuff.
