Happy Halloween!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!! SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!
Since I didn't have the sound effects, I thought I would make do through type LOL Hope it wasn't TOOO scary for ya! hehe
Well, today is the big day! I sure use to look forward to this day, even as recent as just a year or so ago! lol Oh the decorating can be soo much fun! We have cut back on that since having so many animals but I hope you are going to have a SPOOKTACULAR day! Please be safe tonite, as you drive, with so many scary little ones out there.
You still have time to do some decorating and I found some GREAT things to print out!
Do you have a Skeleton hanging or a Witch flying by or how about a Haunted House?? Don't think you have time? Well, check out this link and GET YOURS!!
Fun, fast and easy to print and decorate! lol
Do you dress up to answer the door? Do you go to events such as hayrides or parties? Do your neighbors BOO you? lol I would LOVE to know how you celebrate Halloween in your area, or even if you do at all?
When I was a kid, our parents or older siblings would pass out candy at home with a few decorations on the porch and they NEVER dressed to pass the candy out, as us younger kids would go door to door amassing our goodies!! Such a different time it was then, soo safe and innocent! We went to barn parties all decorated with hay bales and pumpkins with hayrides and bonfires!! OHHH the memories! :D And then we would come home so tired and weary from trying to hit ALL the nearby neighborhoods as well and after returning back home we'd empty our bag on the table for 'inspection' LOL Back in those days, I really think there was little need for such close examination so once in a while I would catch Mom or Dad popping something in their mouth! "HEYYYY what's that you're eating??" lol But there was certainly ALWAYS more than enough to share! Then as my kids grew, an adult would have to take the kids around the neighborhood and the inspections of candy became more real and taken TONS more serious. Sometimes, I would have a friend take my boys out so I could dress up and pass out the candy! hehe
So I am curious to how does your Halloween go? :D
Fangs, er, um I mean, Thanks for the visit and Have a safe and Happy Halloween! :D

I hope you had a FUN weekend! Saturday, we dressed in our costumes to meet some new friends and later, go to a party. I got my whole costume from the swapmeet at various time and it was so much fun putting it together lol The jacket is black leather & lace across the back and the boots (not shown here) were fuzzy at parts. lol John's costume is one my DS bought and is going to wear on Wednesday, to work lol But the fun was finding the gun at the swapmeet the same day we wore our outfits! LOL AND we got, along with the gun, a lady pirate costume but i was already committed to this look, THIS year hehe here's a layout I made:

Today is another grayish kind of day because of the smoke from the fires south of us. This is since Thursday now that it's been daylight but not much sun shining thru the smoke but at least its more of a white than black smoke, meaning they ARE getting the fires out. I think they are down to 6 active ones, from the 12 they started with. How awful, so many have lost everything! Thankfully we are safe from these, one last year was close enough for me! We had ash and voluntary evacuation from that one, for days, it was awful! The ones going on today are not close enough for even the ash, THANKFULLY! Here's a pic of what our moon looks like when it makes an appears thru the smoke:

Keep the fire victims in your prayers and you will do so much for them!
