Since it's Monday and all the festivities were over the weekend, there's not much to do but pass out the candy. That's okay, so far tonight there's been some crazy costumes and horror movie villains are definitely having a moment. There was a dad dressed up as a suicide bomber that made me feel a little uneasy so I had his fairy princess daughter take a candy bar for him, too. Trick or Treating is never dull.
I've had this set of treat buckets since my son was in grade school. (Wow, they might be as old as the McDonald's ones!) Anyway, how did I not notice how cute the inside is? So, I decided it was a thing to share before covering it up with candy bars.
HM and I took a drive yesterday to check out how our neighbors had done up their houses and to our surprise, they hadn't! In our town, decking out your house for Halloween has never been as popular as putting up Christmas lights but it was definitely a lot spookier last year. Then finally, on a street lined with stately homes - the last place you would expect, we found the Grim Reaper and his friends.
To call this "going all out" seems like an understatement.
Of course, they had to have one of these guys.
I'm resisting the temptation to order a 12' skeleton by looking at the cost of renting a storage unit. Although, if we got a boat that would justify the having extra storage, but that's probably going too far.
Back at Chez Madness we were making do with more traditional decorations.
His Madness and Kibitz took the final shift passing out the candy. Will it last until 7:00 pm?
(Like we don't have plenty in reserve, duh!)
That's all that's left? Good thing we got those two extra boxes!
Kibitz and His Madness have officially declared Trick or Treating to be over until next year.
As for Halloween, well that's never really over.
Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
Thanks for stopping by, see you next week.
