All Hallows Eve







Never too old to trick-or-treat. My sister fulfilled her dreams of wearing a white wedding gown by dressing as the bride of Frankenstein. She and her grusome twosome came along with Heidi and I. We also had Keiths sisters Two little ghoules join us, and also one of their friends . So, all eight of us hit the neighbourhood and the kids made out like bandits with enough candy to last until easter!



A few doors down from our place, the neighbours on the corner always go all out to decorate for the Hallowed Eve. They set up a cemetary on their entire front yard. It looked so spooky that a couple of the little kids wouldnt even go in there.





We got lucky with a nice clear night. It may have been a bit cold, but at least it was dry. I think it is great that Heidi still loves to join in all the fun with her younger cousins. I think they enjoyed having her along. I did notice less people than ever were participating in the festivites. A few years ago, everyone would have their porch light on and hand out treats. Now maybe just over half of the homes took part.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE

Julia is 15 and went out with her friends last night as well. She's paying the price this morning with an absence because she's been up twice using her inhaler so she's staying with her grandmother today.

It is a fun holiday. Mine was pretty quiet as we don't have any Trick Or Treaters in my residence park. I did go to dinner with a new friend and then spent the evening with her, so it was good.

No trick or treaters by me. I have to eat the candy all by myself. Loved the pics, thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great Halloween. I love the house with the cemetery sign. I'll have to remember that for next year.

Wow, Halloween is big in the States! Not so big here and rarely does anyone do the trick or treating thing.
What I want to know is: Is there any candy left? I've never known candy to last much longer than a week!

It looks like there was alot of fun.
I didn;'t have any kids here.
The kids have a party at the local communitee center.
It's more safe this way.
Its a shame that the kids in the city will never know what it used to be like.

Looks like you had a lot of fun! Halloween is such a fun holiday.

I hope you're doing well and that Kayla continues to make progress.

*HUGS*

I had to share something with you, Susan. A friend (cough cough) sent me a snowball email? Well, I didn't let the picture fully load? So "assuming" it was the one from last year that splats the computer screen, I INNOCENTLY (being the Good One) sent it along to others but of course NOT to the one who sent it to me as stated. So I sent it to one of my address groups that included two of my church groups.

Yeah, when they give me the address of the special place in Hell that is now surely reserved for me, I'll pass it along.

Just thought I'd share since for some reason I didn't email it to you..now I wonder why?

LOL, I'm embarrassed...but it was funny..now Karen and Vickie are teasing me on Karen's blog today...think I should "fess up to who sent it to me?

Karen said...

Ohhhh... so it wasn't the Bratty one who sent it to Monica?! The Brat sent it to me. It didn't cross my mind that it was...ummm... the someone that Monica didn't send it to....
