Happy Halloween!

Am I the only person that looks at that statement, Happy Halloween, and thinks: isn't that sort of an oxymoron?  Shouldn't it be Scary Halloween to you!  or Frightful Halloween!  or just what it used to be Hallowed Evening, just by itself...  How about, because of the spirits being close, Safe Halloween!

We (Gideon, his dad, aunt and myself) had a happy evening of trick or treating.  We went to a part of town where the street actually gets blocked off for all the people to be able to safely walk.  There is a house in town that hands out ice cream (Link) there every year. We got there just after they ran out.  Gideon took it like a champ though and didn't let that bring him down.  We recognized a few of the people who had been out Friday night for the Halloween Howl-Jack Sparrow, dinosaurs, some princesses and the Suffragette are a few that come to mind.  Gideon also had 2 other kindergarten kids from his class say hello.

My happy part of the night was on the walk home, singing the Ants Go Marching song to motivate the tired boy to walk the rest of the way home.   The candy was sorted and I was given the non chocolate candy that has food coloring.  He is such a generous little man.  He shared with us all without needing to be prompted.

Still some pretty foliage,



A moon to howl to. 

Spooky.

These people had nature help out with the decorations.
Note the tree that has fallen on the house.
They made the best of it and hung someone from a branch.


It's the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!!

I absolutely LOVE this house.

Lolly pop house.

Ravens... these people were perhaps Poe fans.



 The scariest decoration.


 Almost home.
