dreamflower | Our Halloween 2011

We had a great time tonight! Our son came over for supper and stayed to help us hand out candy. We all sat on the deck in front of the front porch, and the trick-or-treaters came up the ramp. We had three large paper grocery sacks filled with candy, and handed all of it out except for a couple of rolls of Smarties that I liberated, LOL!

The DH and I blew bubbles in between clusters of trick-or-treaters! There were lots of cute kids tonight, all of them fascinated with our lights and sound effects (we played a CD of Halloween spooky sounds on the front porch) and folks seemed to like our decorations! It was funny though, one little boy about three, plucked one of our solar landscape lights from the ground and was heading off with it before his mom saw what he'd done and brought it back. We were just sitting there laughing at it. We started about 6PM and came in about 8:30 when our candy ran out. Then we watched DWTS, which we'd DVR'd. Pics behind the cut!

	This evening before it got dark We brought some of the inside porch decorations outside for the evening.
	After dark Now it's all lit up...
	on the deck We clustered several decorations at the top of the steps-- they need to be repaired, so they discouraged trick-or-treaters from using them.

	Our little Halloween doggie We bought him about five years ago. If you push a button on his paw, his red eyes flash and he moves his head and barks! He is supposed to be scary, but we think he's cute. Most of the little kids like him and want to pet him.
	Closer view of decorations on the top step We also tied a string with glow sticks to keep people off the steps...

	My son Said he was dressed up as "Sons of Anarchy" whatever that is...
	Me Here I am in my Sea Wolves jersey. They were our semi-pro team in Mississippi, where we had season tickets. We still had the jerseys, so that's what we dressed up in tonight. I don't look much like a hockey player, LOL!
