Happy Halloween!

I grew two white pumpkins this year, one the size of a softball, the other about the size of a basketball. 

My strange idea for them, I want to make them into eyes, and put them up on my side fence post, so the people going by would see a strange set of eyes looking at them.

I have also thought about finding some purple fabric, or some such, using the little pumpkin, still as an eye, and putting a horn on it, so it's a (sing with me, now), One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater! 

We usually have 2 kids, brothers, from a friend that lives nearby.  I hope they both show this year, the one is getting to be a teen, and I don't know if he will, but the other is in kindergarten, so I am pretty sure one might show... 

I like to decorate, but it's so sad, parents around here don't want the kids trick or treating, they have school "trunk or treat", where you go there and hand out candy, or school "Harvest Festivals".  Guess it's still fun for the kids, but those of us who had a blast dressing up and handing out stuff at our decked out houses, not so much. 

But, I guess I could deck out my car and go to the school. 

Either way, I have a quick costume for this year.  I have a hoodie, with ears, and it's black.  Across the front, it reads, I am a cat.  I have black pants, and my black fingertip gloves, tada, quick and easy costume.

I also intend to wear it at a local function, where I am actually called Cat.

Hee hee... 

At any rate, I will let you know for sure what I will do in a future post.

Busted, as it were.

I had mentioned all the little Halloween  items that were multiplying around the desk?  And how I had moved them to the side?

Well, the gal who had been bringing them in said that she was disappointed that they weren't front and center, why didn't I like them.

I thought fast.  "I am a klutz, and I kept knocking them over."

She didn't seem convinced, but they are still to the side. 

I was thinking about Halloween. Is it just me, or has it gone from a kid-friendly, get candy and go play games, to rather... Over-the-top sexy costumes, that are much, much for adults?  And the parties, well, I gather there are parties at bars and such... But not just fun, it's like Matin' Place with costumes...

On the other hand, if you need ideas for costumes, (sexy or not), Google has come out with an interesting interactive.  They show the most searched for costumes, and how many people you might see with the same costume at a party...   I looked, and Oregon seems to be trending to witches, Fred Rogers, Butterflies... And Octoberfest wear.  Hmm.

Most of the ones I picked on the costume list seemed to be Meh, you might, you might not see them at a party.  I guess I could dig out my clothes from high school and sell them, it turns out, a hot, trendy costume is 80's wear.  Hot pink, scrunchies, and shoulder pads, anyone?

I am hoping to get the white pumpkins done up as eyeballs soon.  I am going to see if I can put a picture on the blog through my phone.  Don't hold your breath, but we'll see...

And, the scary season has begun, the voting bags are in the lobby!  😉
