Halloween 2009

In the weeks leading up to October 31st, nothing really had been discussed about what to do on Hallow's Eve, except that we would be giving out candy. Specifically, candy BARS. Ever since trick or treating at the Genho's growing up, I was determined to do the same thing "when I grew up one day".

The day before Halloween, the Hubs decided to create a wonderland of Halloween lore the front of our home by turning our front lawn into a graveyard, fit with headstones and Halloween epitaphs.

He put a lot of thought and effort and it was a hit! The neighbors stopped by and offered their congratulations and nods of approval...

So, early that afternoon, off we went to Sam's Club to buy candy bars, like Snicker's and Hershey's and Butterfinger, you get the picture. But then we got there and saw big boxes of individually wrapped twinkies and oatmeal creme pies, nutter bars and mini-pecan pies, etc. And so we scrapped the candy bar idea for a different kind of novelty. The kids seemed to like it and it was sure fun for us to. We put them all on a large platter and invited the trick or treaters to pick their poison!

A fun night for all , indeed! Cannot wait for next year.
