Halloween--- A Wonderful Holiday For Children

Straight from China

A yard full of ghouls

A delightful spider for the little children

The doorstep of horror!

And lastly, a little cannibal sitting in the front yard

I never liked Halloween much but Dave loves it!! He went all out in his decorations this year. I think there is a little competition going on between 3 of our neighbors. Across the street, The Elliotts have live spooky organ music and an elaborate display in their front room. Down the road, The Wilsons light up their place like a haunted house and have a robot butler giving out treats. Then there's The Ericksons (us) who hang monsters from the rafters and have skeletons all over the front yard with orange and purple lights on the trees.

This Halloween:
----we had 243 kids come to the door
----we gave out 12 lbs of candy (not including the 2 lbs I ate) !
----7 little children were too afraid to come to the doorstep
----2 little children were crying because they were scared of the monster

Best Halloween Costume---- a beat up boy scout
Lamest Halloween Costume----2 teenage girls dressed as two teenage girls

What a strange holiday!!
