What Are You Doing For Halloween

    We LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!  Especially Laura... actually she loves anything scary like horror flicks, haunted houses and HALLOWEEN!

    Our house is aways the best Halloween decorated on the block.  Laura is very creative and doesn't use pre-made decorations but goes to the craft and hardware store and creates her own... Every year a different theme.

    Then there are the other traditions. 

    We watch a scary movie every night for the week before Halloween.  The whole family sits in the dark watching a movie and eating popcorn.  Of course throughout the movie one of us will always do something to scare the crap out of the others.

    Then there is the neighborhood Halloween Party!  We have a bunch of great neighbors who love to party and Halloween is always the BEST.  Everyone dresses up in home-made costumes... not usually scary but normally either funny, sexy or current event themed.

    Then Halloween night is the always the best.  We stay home in the early evening and give out candy to the little ones. Laura normally has a surprise scare for them in her decoration theme, and I make my rounds through the neighborhood on the bike (picture below).

    Then once the kids stop coming by (normally around 9pm) we head up to Cook's Corner (our local biker bar) for the absolute BEST adult themed Halloween party and costume contest anywhere!  The costume contest can be pretty sexy to say the least.  And the best thing is our same taxi driver shows up every year to pick us up at closing and we don't even have to call him.  (That might have something to do with the fact the girls are always dressed in sexy costumes and drunk by that time... so I'm sure he enjoys mimself )

    Halloween was always a blast in my old neighborhood, also my favorite time of year and favorite celebration... The house right next door to me was famious for their haunted garage. People would come from all over the city to trick or treat there and the entire neighborhood was in on the action. Grim reapers draging axes up and down the street. Hanging gallows that would hang witches. Safety linerard so no one really died. It was a blast... I miss the old hood this time of year.
    But to answer your question WORK...

    I reckon I'll help our son take his girls out trick-or-treating. One of our favorite stops is the girl's dorm at the small university close-by. The grand-daughters get candy, and we get eye-candy. It's all good.

    Halloween IS my favorite "holiday".  You get to be who you want, and get treats for bein' that.  Awesome.  Decorating is so much fun, if you do it with an eye towards bein' a little scary.  I don't go as far as I used to, cause it was literally scarring some of the littlest trick-or-treater's...
    I like to have a "cemetary" on the lawn.  Littered with "critters" that'll spook ya, as ya walk by.  They've got some really neat things now, that are motion sensitive, and add loads to the fun...muahahahahaaa  And I like to have at least one "real live" Zombie.  Meaning, one of us has to dress the part.  Fake wounds, blood, teeth gnashin', ghoulishness...
    I also, like to top off the parents "coffee mug" with a hot apple, rum spiced cider.  It gets "nipply" sometimes out there with the kids.  And a lil' cup-warmer, always makes things more appealing...get it? A pealin'....buahahahaha 
    Oh, I've got loads of ideas.  I'll tell ya about a maze we built one year, if you buy the first round...

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE! 
    For those going to Spooktoberfest, this year, RIDE SAFE, RIDE HARD, RIDE FREE 

    Tweek

    Its going to be a boring one for us. The boy is only going to be 3 months old. He still doesnt really do too much yet. Although he is smiling and laughing now. Which is so much more fun than simply pooping, eating, sleeping and crying. Next year im sure we will bling it out.

    Probably the same thing I do every year....sit on the porch and scare the hell out of kids!

    The church is putting on a Fall Festival complete with game stations, bouncy things, and treats for the kiddos.

    Going with a bunch of friends to the wild Halloween party in West Hollywood for the first time ever on Halloween night. Still haven't decided on a costume for this yet.

    Plus I've got a party to go to tonight and then another to go to tomorrow night. I'm going as a nun to both of them.

    This year I am Captain Hook and my co- worker is Peter pan !! since it is at school, gotta keep it age apropriate. But I like to dress up handing the candy out, Got a lot of my school kids expecting it, This year I will have little helpers at the door as my grandkids are little and are going out in the afternoon to all the other gma stops. Besides when one is dairy allergic it is hard to tell her she cant have the candy someone else gives her! .Guess I better have her special treats on hand! It will be fun!!! funny though, my school kids think I will be going as a biker!!! go figure that one! LOL

    PS love the "night rider" look lucky!!! that is pretty cool!

    HALLOWEEN COSTUME - My daughter asked me to make a Toadette Car (from Mario Karts) you could wear. NO not for my grand daughter, but for her. Her office has a different theme for each dept and they got Mario Karts. I wasn't about to just cut a hole in a box and paint it pink like most people are going to do...
