Halloween 2007

This was our ever-evolving Halloween decoration this year.

We're the only house in two neighborhoods that set up any sort of props. We also have blue lights, lightning, storm sounds, a bubbling and steaming cauldron of escaping bone soup, warning signs on the ground, etc.

(We also have the only Red Maple tree I know of that stays green and keeps its leaves all year long due to the mysteriously warm ground surrounding its roots...)

I creeped myself out setting up the candles, as I heard a noise coming from the old cemetery that I didn't think was part of our piped-in stuff. Rita came out and listened and said it was a low moaning wind sound coming from the storm/lightning box.

Whew! That was a relief!

Our resident witch decided she would try modernizing her ride by purchasing a Swiffer Wet Jet. This, of course, caused her to crash right on our front lawn for the third year in a row. Poor, poor Witchy Poo! You'd think she would have learned to just stick with the old standard after last year's disastrous push-broom episode...

Aidan chose to be a skeleton this year.

I told him he had to eat more! He's becoming waaay too skinny...
