I enjoy ____ now, but if anyone had told me that years ago, I would never have believed them.

I enjoy Haloween now, but I most def. wouldn’t have ever believed it if anyone had told me I would! I grew up in a neighborhood that didn’t have a lot of kids so I never really really got into it…I got to go to grandma’s and go trick or treating but even then it was a trek…soo…now that we live in a neighborhood with a ton of kids, it is spooook city!!! We had just moved in last year and pulled something together to get all ready for it and we were the hit of the subdivision…of course it could have been because we had dementors and we all know how popular they would be on haloween…And us being the overzealous people we are didn’t just have them hanging by the door…ohhh no…we rigged it up so the darn things would fly! Yep I said fly…we controlled it from upstairs window and let it fly down to meet the trick or treaters as they came down the walkway…all the kids loved it! We had foggers going, and too boot the house has an outdoor sound system (previous tenants doing) so we had spooky music running and I even convinced my mother to dress up like a witch :) Well of course this year we had to add stuff…so the dementors were still there but this time we had a skeleton that we made a coffin for and had painted him and put a black light on him…:):) Another hit :) Next year we are gonna make it so the skeleton opens his coffin lid and who knows what else…I just can’t believe how hooked I’ve gotten at decorating for haloween…ohhhh…and can’t forget the pumpkins and we are gonna do a ghost in the window…see…I’m a monster!!! And I gotta find a costume this year…I’m thinking Jane Jetson…here ya go…you think it would be quirky enough for me :):)

Jane Jetson

LOL Great isn’t it :):)

Namaste, Quirky

    We love halloween too. Pan is the hit of the city and surrounding ones. We have had them come from 40 miles in all directions just to see what he was going to put up. Of course, having a real working Jacob’s ladder is always a treat.
