Did You Dress Up?

So many adults are claiming Halloween as their right to party, that I wonder if this is about the kids anymore? I mean, so many people are going out to parties tonight – will there be anyone home to hand out candy to the trick or treaters?

I am dressing up and going out – but I am staying home to hand out candy until after 9:00. I think there will be at least 40 or 50 kids coming to my house this year. But 9:00 is late for little kids, so that’s when I’m cutting out the porch light and stopping the giveaways. Then I will head downtown and find some of my friends at a club and have some adult fun, too.

Bonfire

My neighbor had a big party yesterday and invited us to stop by. It was a great turnout and they all seemed to be having a blast.

She even had a big bonfire going up on the hill. We sat around the fire on hay bales and roasted marshmallows and told funny stories. It was great fun – but too dark for my camera to get any good snapshots of the group.

Halloween party

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love to dress up each year as something different and original. One year I went as a cereal killer. I wore regular clothes with a mask and held a box of cereal with a fake knife stuck through it. People loved it. This year, I am going all out with some major makeup. I found a tutorial on YouTube that shows you how to make a unzipped-zipper face. It looks amazingly cool and I have already bought all of the stuff to do it. I can’t wait for my friends to see it.
