Yay! Halloween! Here are some crappy pictures of my entryway vignette. I managed to knock over the tree this year, but luckily, none of my more precious ornaments were broken. It’s now being held down by a brick.
We actually got FIVE trick-or-treaters! Totally a record in this house. The second batch asked where the good houses were, and I just happened to know, because–AND I COULDN’T FREAKING BELIEVE THIS–it turns out we are just a few streets from a seriously Halloweenie neighborhood. I saw a sign today for a haunted house. I followed it through our community, Peridia, and through to the next one, Fairfax. It was like night and day. Every house had some decorations, and many had a bunch. And yes, someone had set up a haunt in their garage. It was the most Halloween I have seen in Florida, and it’s right next door! I wanted to go set up a booth, just so we’d get more ToTs.
But all things considered, I was pretty thrilled with the five we got.
Yay! Halloween!! So glad to see your decorations up and glowing again this year 🙂
I. In northern Ontario Canada, and it’s cold and rain, last year there was snow, so door to door has been re directed in doors, fire stations, house gatherings….
My grandsons visited and the party was on! We had one little boy, so filled his bag , and thought how sad this tradition has changed as well!
You home is cozy and welcoming indeed!
It must be pretty difficult to build a costume around a snow suit. 😉 I’ve become such a hermit in my dotage. I used to throw parties all the time! Sounds like fun, and you can always make the munchkins work for it, even indoors, with games and challenges. I have a bag of hollow plastic pumpkins (that I’ll probably do something with this month) that are made for Halloween hunts.
My part of the neighborhood stink where we live. Nobody decorated or handed out candy except us. It is really disappointing that people are ruining the holiday for grownups and kids. I want to find somewhere to moved that is more fun on holidays :-).
Yeah, FL is not great, though it’s getting better. When the Spousal Unit looks at jobs, the first thing I think is, oh, better Halloweens there!
