Pumpkins wait to greet you.......
Velcome to my house!
A witch has something in her pot......
Somebody doesn't look too well fed........
Another payin' for his crimes......
Take care out there....... the witching hour's approaching!
p.s. the kids do come but first they stand at the gate....tell each other I'm not sure if I'm going there!! Then mom and dad assure them it's all right, so they make the long lonely walk to the front door and discover this isn't so bad!

Aww Pam. That's the age they have so much fun. Looks like Dad's enjoying your efforts too.
We love seeing their faces go from almost fear and uncertainty to the point where they said "Hey I did it!! I'm braver than you thought I was!"
Now it's time for the bigger goblins to haunt the streets.

Hmm... don't we know one of those lovelies?
now don't laugh at my attempt to carve a pumpkin. I'm not the least bit creative when it comes to stuff like this.
Almost 6 PM local time, and not one kid yet.
No DD was a cat......her group is a little older and are eyeing other places to haunt.
Linda I actually miss those days.........a lot can be said for simplicity! :)

That is a real nice pumpkin Linda. It's the kind that let's the little kiddies come to the door without the fright. It's just scary enough.
Things that go bump in the night!
Last of the ghouls......DS's friends.
Yikes! :-) Thanks for these pictures, Pam - it's cool to see someone else's trick-or-treaters, just like seeing someone else's plants! Live, up-to-the-minute action from 3500 km away. Very cool.
lol.....Dave's is really amazing and I must admit this has always been one of our fav holidays. I'm so glad we could share it with you....not sure how much longer we will go to this much work.
Geez Pam, you guys go all out! That's great. Hope you had fun.
We did! :) Seeing their faces always makes it worthwhile. But now a different type of evil ghoul will be haunting the streets...... it's time to put all the creatures in the dungeon for another year! ;)
Hopefully things will not get too rowdy...shouldn't everyone be getting ready for school tomorrow or something?
I enjoyed your picture show, Pam. Looks like you had as much fun as the kids! You have a lovely looking daughter.
I liked your pumpkin Linda. Very original and far better than anything I could do.
So it looks like Hallow's Eve is over for another year. Tomorrow...November. Now that's really scary!
Way cool Madam Librarian - you're Martha without the empire (or the Jail cell)
What fun! All my kids have long since grown, and we never get trick-or-treaters, so this was so nice to see. We live outside the city limits of Seward, so there is never a knock on our door on Halloween. I miss it!
Next year we should send cyber-Trick-or-Treat messages to all our friends in rural areas!!
Spklatt, come knocking on my cyber door next Halloween, and I'll give you a cup of cyber cider and a cyber cookie!
Cider......yummm! I'll be there.

You'd better be in costume, or you don't get a treat!
Oh yeah...hmm. Vat if I joost talk vith a fake aksent? hee hee hee
OK, I can close my eyes and imagine a costume... of course, I might spill some of the cyber cider with my eyes closed!
No, no, I'll dress up! :-)
LOL.Lynn I'm afraid my Marthaesque abilities are somewhat limited to decorating ...... see I forgot to supply my cyber guests with exquisitely made hors d'oeuvres, apple cider/hot chocolate, and cookies!! :O
Yes, and homemade caramel treats that you wrapped yourself in your own homemade paper....
Oh yeh bring that up.....my inner Martha is soooooooooo ashamed!
Whenever I have to bring something to a pot-luck, it's all I can do to squeeze in a stop at the supermarket to pick something up on the way to the gathering.
None of us can live up to the Martha standards....nor should we try, perhaps. ;-)
Trust me...... I haven't made any homemade paper yet! And horrors of horrors my boxes are only labelled with one word "Hallowe'en".
edited to say it goes against my training (not doing detailed labelling).......it must be the rebel comin' out.

OK - it's three weeks late, but for anyone still watching this thread, this little puppetry clip is cute - it takes 5:15 to watch but is worth it in my opinion.
Make sure you continue watching after he's finished with "Lucille" - that's when you get to see "real personality". The puppeteer is very talented.
(be sure to have your speakers on - there's sound!)

Unbelieveable......that was GOOD! Chuck Berry lives!!! Thanks Shannon! :D
