Halloween is over and it is November. We had quite a few kids come last night, though not as many as I thought since it was Saturday and the weather was nice. Our kids are older now, so they were out doing their own thing, but my husband and I still carved a pumpkin (only one this year, usually we do three or four), put on our costumes and decorated the yard. We have a cauldron with a small fog machine in it and a hidden speaker playing scary music, blinking eyes up in the trees and a ghost that travels back and forth across the yard wailing. Lots of kids love it so even though our kids aren't around any more we still have to do it.

I wish the pumpkins showed up better, they were way cool! It was such a fun Halloween. My daughter's friend dressed as a witch and sat in a chair in our front yard. Some kids weren't fooled, but the ones who got too close got a scare! The fog machine and creepy music didn't help. Yup, that's me drinking my witch's brew.
