Snork!<br /><br />We don't do Halloween much over here in Oz but it is growing and having a ghoully 4yo, I recently threw a Monster Mash for him. He has a onesy skeleton suit that will be great for trick or treating in. Not sure if our street does the whole Halloween thing.

Are you feeling a little misty over that? I'm already nostalgic for trick or treating & my kids are 3 & 7. They have a ways to go yet. :-)<br /><br />I can't bring myself not to go trick or treating with them, so I put a big bowl of candy on the porch with a sign that says, "Help Yourself but Don't Be Greedy!" I have no idea how long it lasts, but it's empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard when we get home.Susan Seyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033511012283092945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-13967058790619387612010-10-29T14:27:25.470-04:002010-10-29T14:27:25.470-04:00Jo also wrote: Hey, Susan, did you see that AMC is...Jo also wrote: <i>Hey, Susan, did you see that AMC is bringing a new series this Sunday called THE WALKING DEAD?

Apparently, the great state of Wisconsin is okay with that kind of thing. <br /><br />He's a funny guy, though. He's one of the minds behind the Found Footage Festival & Kenny Strausser, the yo-yo champion/fraud of daytime news programming infamy. Google either one & you'll see the kind of humor I'm related to (through marriage on the Pickett side.) :-)Susan Seyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033511012283092945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-70008549930150365902010-10-29T14:16:01.132-04:002010-10-29T14:16:01.132-04:00Louisa,

Not at all surprised you won a prize.<br /><br />Speaking of prizes, congrats gamistress! I'm sure the GR has even more tricks under his vampire cape than usual so keep an eye on him.<br /><br />We used to carve 2 faces on my son's jack-o-lanterns -- one scary and one smiling. That happened because of a plastic 2 faced one my mother gave him when he was about 5. <br /><br />No trick or treat for me this year, it will be strictly TREAT as I am sailing the high seas on Halloween day!

Yay!<br /><br />I will watch a marathon of scary movies to celebrate the day (and probably bring at least one bag of candy home ALL FOR ME !!) I live in the boonies so I don't get trick or treaters. And of course I will watch Shaun of the Dead ! LOVE that movie. Haven't seen Zombieland. Need to get that one. <br /><br />We used to have a costume contest at work, but now company policy says no. People always said I cheated because I was fortunate enough to keep some of my costumes from my singing days. My costume from the last act of Lucia di Lammermoor is great.
