This is my son ....ready for halloween tonight!..will post some more later..

Well, I can see the family resemblance!

Awww, here is one of my wee 'Leatherface' angels

Well - I haven't downloaded the pics yet, but just sent mine off with the neighbours - 2 quads and a trailer full of kids - dead rock star, nerd, pirate and hippy - dads are dressed as normal (chickens!). The scary music is blaring, lights are flashing and skeletons are warning all to stay away (good thing there's 4 acres between us and the neighbours). I'm home alone to give out candy - ha, haaa, haaaa, haaa, haa (evil laughter).

hahaaaaa

COOL!!!

heheheee you make me laugh.....LOL...and wow what a tribe you have..i would be scared to death if they rolled up at my door!!!...LOL

We bought this lovely thing and hung it outside but some of the smaller kids didn't see it so must arrange to hang it lower next year. We live and learn after all it is our first Halloween.

What about next to the doorbell

Cool pics everyone

Our neighbourhood is full of kids (we're within walking distance of 2 elementary schools), but we only had about 9 kids last night, with an average age of about 3, so I'm glad we didn't do anything too scary. Highlights were Spongebob and the Cat in the Hat (about 5 years old) who were so excited they'd actually rung the bell, opened my front door and were standing in the foyer by the time I'd actually gotten to the door from the kitchen (the dads were yelling at the kids, but it was cute - we don't lock our doors around here during the day if we're home). Then there was the 2 year old Superman who didn't want to be trick or treating and almost fell off our porch in his hurry to get back to Mom. I think the winner was one of our neighbours, they were taking their 13 month old out for her first Halloween. She was dressed as a skunk, but apparently is at the age where strangers freak her out, so they decided that 2 houses was enough for the first year

Now i just have to figure out what to do with all this left over candy, since I'm allergic to it all!

We didn't have many kids either, only around 10. More surprisingly was when the kids shout "Trick or Treat" and we answered "trick" they looked at us blankly, so we then replied 'treat' - still got blank looks. Obviously to them it's not a question. Kids back in Scotland had to 'work' for their sweeties by either tell a joke, sing or do a magic trick.

Now what are we going to do all our left-over candy too? Keep them away from me that's for sure

wow...a bit too gruesome even for me......

aww how sweet......i loved the little ones too!........i had at least 40 kids here last night........after the little ones stopped coming round...and then we had the mid age of around 9-11....we stopped.....turned off the lights etc...there wasn't any more after about 7.30ish anyways.

We got lots of comments on our Jack-o-Lanterns....and some even commented on how lovely everything looked and not too scary for the little ones

I took my son to the neighbours and wow.it was so lovely to see the happy faces on the people as they opened the door and he was standing there in his little skull mask etc...he is 9 and it was realy the first year he felt confident to go up to the door etc......one place we went to which is up a side street from our place..the lady was so happy because he was her only trick or treater.....she gave him heaps of candy and came out and was waving to me saying thank you! thank you!....now if nothing else..that made it all worth it..and my son was so happy!!!! he had made her happy!!!!...we then went to another house just down from hers..and the same thing.....the man came out and was waving to me and saying ..Happy Halloween!!!

I love our neighbourhood even more now.

Something a bit less gruesome for you me dear
