What do you do for Halloween?

Do you like to go Tricks~er~Treatin' or
Handing out candy better????

Weezie

I don't get trick or treaters out here where I am. I have to take my daughter to town to trick or treat. So I don't do alot of decorations. Just a few for her. But I'm ready. Just hope it doesn't rain on us.

Does THIS look scarey? ? ?

Look at the MEAN eyes on this witch!

Brennan took this picture while we were trying on costumes. (Pretty good for a 5 year old!) I was gonna be a witch to give out candy, but Lola is afraid of the hat. So, I guess it's the usual pirate with a live parrot on her shoulder again this year.


Cindy

How about you be a tree for Lola to sit in???

Or a Cage??? (get a big box, cut slat's in it,
and you be on the inside and she can be on the outside, hehehehehe!)

Or get yourself a black and white striped outfit, and you both can be "jail~birds"...

Weezie

OMG! Those are GOOD!

LOL!! Those are great!

I'm ready for Halloween! Decorations out, pumpkin carved (usual PSU logo), candy into little candy sacks. On Saturday we're going to a marching band competition that my niece is in and then going to a Halloween party. We don't usually dress up, but I might just to surprise people. I'll have to see if I have any overalls so that I can be a cowgirl. I don't usually dress up, really don't like it. But if I'm just a cowgirl, I can take the hat off and be "normal" (haha...yeah right). That way I can play poker with ease and take EVERYONE'S money! Sunday is trick or treat for our area. Noel and her boyfriend are going Trick or treating for UNICEF in our area. We're also going to go down the street to a "Light the Night" thing that our church does at various homes in the county.

TOTALLY forgot to tell you what I'm making for the party!! Kitty Litter Cake and Eyeballs!!! Heehee!!! Kitty Litter Cake

That kitty litter cake is GROSS :p looking!
How could you even EAT it?
GREAT idea for Halloween!


hmmm..... wonder if that would work for me?

We can always hope.

was getting on here to tell you about my sis's dalmation that is going to be a ladybug for Halloween...and then saw the kitty litter cake...HOW DISGUSTING!!!! however..after my tour of duty as a bakery owner, there are a few customers I would like to send one to!

Oh NO ! Kitty litter cake!! I could NEVER! Ugh, Blah, gross. Oh God, I'm gagging, but thank you , now I don't need lunch :p :p

I love that kitty litter cake...my sister made one for me a few years ago... :p ...she has also taken them to the kids school (elementary school) for a special occasion...
some of the kids refused to eat it!!!

That cake is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!! And BRILLIANT! What kid could refuse that?

I can't WAIT for Halloween to come. If I don't get rid of all that candy soon, I'm gonna gain 15 pounds.

I just love the finishing touch of the tootsie roll poop. I don't have any here, so I'm going to have to remember to buy a few from the candy lady at the market tomorrow. I'll be sure to take pictures of the cake and the eyeballs when I'm done making them!

I have a costume for Halloween but nowhereto go, we only get about 20 kids come through here so I don't know if I'll bother with handing out candy this year.

My costume is really neat though,I did it last year and it worked well enough that one of my best friends had to ask who I was.
I dressed up as a Drow Preistess (for those that don't know Drow are a subterrain race of Dark elves). I had this really cute black outfit on (black tank top and a leather skirt(from value village) adjusted to contain chainmail) my roommate had fun withit too cause they had to paint my hair white and then I had to paint the shoing skin (arms and face) black. Hair up with little letter opener swords, and spider jewlery galore and a really nice sheer cape with silver wbs on it.

Easily the coolest costume I've ever had

I have no where to go, either! I'm just dressing up to entertain my own bad self!



What the he!!? What's that?

Cindy

chainmail

G-Mom

Shani, sounds like you were pretty hot! You need to put that armour on and get out to some clubs this Halloween!

Thanks for the link, G-Mom!
I guess I'm a little out of touch, huh?
Maybe I should get some of that to wear around all these animals I have that like to bite me!

we tore the side of the skirt and with 10 lb testfishing line sewed in 2 sections of cains main and put a chain linked belt on it, it is rather cute,

Had a successful night of giving out candy......over 300 pieces and I still had a few pieces left for me to eat!

We had quite a night here with trick-or-treating!

Lola stays on my shoulder the entire time, and all the kids freak when they see her. When they get their candy and start walking away, she would holler "Hey! Come here!" So, they'd turn around and start back and I'd say "It was the bird...not me." As soon as they'd turn around again and start leaving, "Hey! Can't you hear? Get back here!" A never-ending vicious cycle.

And the dog .....
Hell Hound stole a bag of popcorn out of a big box I had in the floor...giving it out to the trick-or-treaters with the candy. He got REAL possessive with it...carried it around the house looking for a place to hide it. Then, when the door was open for the next batch of kids, he ran out the door with it and buried it in the center garden. THEN, he tried to attack every kid that walked up, protecting his "stash". Finally got him back inside on a leash until the kids stopped coming. When I tried to take the leash off, he nailed me real good in that part of my hand between my thumb and finger...bled like a stuck pig.

ahhhhhh.....it's over!

We're not having trick or treat till tonight. I guess ya'll had it last night. I've already been nibbling the peanut butter kisses I bought. The girls opened the dum dum lolipops & started on them. Ok, I had to go buy another bag of candy. LOL.

Hi everyone ~

Years ago, I worked for an eye doctor and me and my husband at the time decided to go out trick or treating as a pair of glasses. We made the glasses out of giant hoops I constructed out of unbent hangers and covered them with white tissue paper. The hoops were as tall as we were. Dressed completely in black, we looked like pupils standing behind the lenses. I also made wild, curly eyebrows to perch on top of our heads above the rim of the glasses. We went through the neighborhood where my boss lived, singing things such as "I Only Have Eyes For You" and making cracks like "We wanted to make spectacles of ourselves." It was pretty fun.

Our house now though is located between a rehab center for alcoholic men and a funeral home....none of the kids come down our drive. Too bad, I love giving out candy.

Plus our town always has a Spook Parade and any kid in a costume can march in it along with the bands and the fire trucks and cop cars. They walk about a mile to the fire dept where there is a giant party complete with hay rides. So lots of the kids don't try to hit all the neighborhoods around town, knowing how much they will get along the parade route and at the party.

It's a little lonely here tonight without Maxi at home.

Merme

So, what kind of costume did Maxi wear this Halloween?
Guess what Brennan is dressed as.....
