We had fun taking our kids around this Halloween. I have to say though that the streets around here seem less and less festive about this holiday. Three years ago I distinctly recall at least 5 “haunted house” style garages on our walk. This year, there wasn’t even anybody jumping out just for fun! That was probably just as well since we had our 2 1/2 year old out with us and she was scared a few times by quite innocuous things. I did see a kick-butt vintage Star Wars ‘77 “Jawa” costume though.
All the holidays pass by too fast for me. I take a breath and it’s the next one. I need to be more proactive about blogging about them . . . so I know they really happened :) Other things change as well. A year ago I could have spent a lot more time on photoshopping and adding 1,000 more words to this post. But I have to go now because the 5 month old baby is crying and I think I’ve said enough anyway ;) How was your Halloween? Do your holidays speed past like mine? Was your neighborhood festive?

Both photos are awesome! Our son’s neighborhood was filled with kids, one little boy was intimidated by a skull that lights up and talks, but he calmed down, asked where she bought it, and immediately asked his mom to run buy it, now! Kids are great, both the children and goat kind, grin.
I will post how I "made" the rear-view mirror picture if anyone is interested. I used 2 pics on Flickr and photoshopped them together.
That’s a great pic, Damien! I have a whole bunch of pics on my blog.
I was surprised at how festive it was down here in GA I was also surprised at how different trick-or-treating is down here, compared to up in NY.
Go see my blog for the update and pics!!
You do have a lot of pics! The self portrait comment was hilarious. I like visiting your blog. Well, next is Thanksgiving! ;)
Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year. Usually the weather is horrible, but this year it was warm enough for the kids to be out for several hours trick or treating! Hardly anyone decorates outside anymore. I can understand it, all of my outside stuff was smashed to bits. Unfortunately, there’s some people that think days like that are freebies to do whatever they’d like.
Othern than that and my car getting broken into (nothing taken), we had a great time on Halloween!! LOL

Whoa! Sounds like a rough neighorhood. Glad nothing was taken.
It does sound like a rough neighborhood! It’s not really, though..just idiots out on Halloween. That happens everywhere, I guess My town was recently voted by Family Circle Magazine as one of the Top 10 towns in the country to raise a family!
