Well it is soo close to the day. What are you and or your kids doing? parties, trick or treat, school stuff. Whos dressing up? What are the costumes? A friend of mine just asked me to help him get his boy dressed up. His mom said she was getting a costume then failed and put it off on Dad. I am a lazy butt and have not gotten my boys ready either. I think DS1 is wearing the same as last year he needs fake blood and a grim reaper thingy (that stick thing) DS2 is wanting to be a ninja he needs a sword. There is a school party and costume parade on main street. Nov 1 ds2 has a party his first invite from a girl. (whoohooo). There is a mobile home display lot that is having free party and safe trick or treats through the homes. That is great cuz it is safe and free. ~Mary~

Hey Mary, sounds like you are going to have a hec of a lot of fun. "Safe and free", what more could anyone want. I suspect that you are looking forward to this just as much as the kids. That's great. Hilary

I adore Halloween!All the houses are decorated xcept mine!Ive got WAY too much candy..on purpose!I am about to do some last minute decorating outside..finally.Logan is going to be a vampire(he is 11) he bought a really scary mask at the costume store with some long bloody fingertip things anda bloody sword..we had a black cape.Any how the mask is so scary and realistic that he wont sleep with it in his room!!too funny!Older Ds is gonna be a ninja but w/ a skeleton mask..go figure.We have a GREAT neighborhood w/ lots of kids..and one neighbor is a fireman who really puts on a scary show at his house..he makes his yard look haunted w/ dry ice,a strobe - the works and he REALLY looks scary.Every year its different.At the end of the nite I let the kids and a few friends get in the back of my husbands Frontier (truck) and SLOWLY drive around the neighborhood and throw candy out to other kids(just the stuff they DONT want of course). they love it...and so do I!!cant wait!!!

MELINDA-HAPPY HALLOWEEN>>>:)))

**Sounds like the guys will have fun Mary. I'll probably put on a rainbow wig to greet the kids who come. One year I was running late and didn't dress up to greet them and they were soo disappointed lol.

I have a wrought iron gate that opens into a little alcove that goes to the front door.I put "spider webbing" and spiders all over it and hung a plaque that has a skull and headstone in the middle.The skull has 2 eyes and a tongue made out of this gooey stuff-its gross.then
