The Many Faces of Halloween

I just can't help it!

Maybe I was dropped from my broom as a child -

but I just have to dress up and have fun at Halloween!!

Our home has had a long standing tradition

of being scary at Halloween.  We thrive on it!

Hubby gets involved, and we never ever let it

out what is happening at our house until

the day of!!!

Even at work, there is Halloween fun!

(Hubby does his own makeup, which he learned

as a Scout leader!)

We try to infect our little ones with Halloween

Spirit.

It's a generational thing!

(Disneyland's Halloween Party)

We love going to Halloween Parties

 (Riverwoods Halloween Party)

(Grand America's Tea with Witches)

(Gardner Village's Breakfast with the Witches)

And we love throwing them ourselves!

(Zombie Apocalypse)

(A family dinner party invitation.)

Edward and Bella's wedding reception

(over 30 years of Halloween parties have been thrown)

This year was our biggest as we turned 5 acres

of wooded land into a Haunted Hollow for about 200

Young Single Adults, complete with fog machines,

water guns, animated spiders, a chain saw,

and best of all Art City Donuts food truck.

(I was a 9 foot alien, but no one got a picture of 

me as it was dark!  This is another alien that I was one year.)

Usually we choose to be creepy and scary (just a little as the

grandkids and neighbor kids are small!)

But sometimes just cute and fun,

(Yes, Linda from Life and Linda, who created my

blog design, actually used a real picture of my

witchy self for my header.)

And last year, even Disney fun, (although as Olaf,

I still made little ones cry - just because I told

them I liked warm hugs!)

 I encourage friends and family alike to get in on the fun.

We have been dressing up for a long, long time.

 So if you are in the neighborhood this year,

stop by and see what we are cooking up this year.

Just remember we always stay in character,

so I probably won't stop and chat.

We will even give you a king size candy bar if you

tell me who you are!!

Have a fun and safe Halloween!!

Well, I had better fly!
