Trick or Treat

The witch and the cat

The scariest halloween decoration. This wins the prize. 

Roarrrrr

The trickster crew

Pirate princess

the moving spider that scared the S**T out of everyone

Running from house to house

house to house

Admiring some cool decorations along the way

kissing some skeletons and skulls too

trying not to walk into spider webs

entering crime scenes

And running to yet more houses

Some gates were too scary to enter

And yet more houses...

The family that tricks or treats together, stays together.

Jack-o'-lanters

This being the Halloween time, there are all kinds of spooky walks and haunted houses to visit. But this year I decided to let the family experience something new: The Rise of the Jack O' Lanterns. It is an event with thousands of carved and illuminated pumpkins arranged artfully along a walking path. It was amazing. Some of the pumpkins were incredibly detailed, with copies of master paintings including Mona Lisa and a Van Gogh landscape. Some pumpkins were funny, others scary, and yet many more were just unbelievable in their creativity. Unfortunately I don't have many good photos because it was too dark to take pictures without a flash, and the photos with the flash did not capture the feeling and the light shining through the pumpkin... Here's a bit of a taste of the event and the half mile path of pumpkins.

Hello October!

October is a big party month in my house. We have two birthdays to celebrate, and Halloween to top things off. The halloween decorations have already began to appear. I was surprised to see a house in my neighborhood all dressed up already last weekend. I've just managed to set out a couple of mums and colorful pumpkins, the rest will wait until mid-October, and it won't be anything big anyway, maybe a scarecrow here and a big spider there..just to make the kids happy..

How fitting! I have to get this sign, or re-create DIY style. 

Imagine the trick-or-treating loot from this house, if they are this much into Halloween!

This has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween. It's just the buddha sitting at my front door. 

I love pumpkins! The shape, color, taste, smell...
