Ever since I stopped trick-or-treating at age 12, Halloween hasn't been my favorite holiday. I mean, what's the point? Last year my boyfriend and I stayed at home and passed out candy to all 3 of the kids that came by. It was so much fun seeing the kids get excited about getting candy from strangers. This year, we went all out. Yesterday we started with carving pumpkins.
We invited a friend over, got our pumpkins from a local pumpkin patch, and got down to carving. A couple hours later and we had some kick-butt looking pumpkins.
Our friend did the one on the left completely free hand! My boyfriend did the one in the middle and mine is the one on the right--both from stencils.Today, the quest was to get full size candy bars at the drugstore. Eighty dollars and a few hours later, we had a scary Halloween set both inside and out!
The front porch is decked out with a cauldron of dry ice, my pumpkin, and a Scream door cover. What could possibly be behind the door?
A spooky, cobweb-covered apartment!Even scarier with the lights off...
On the balcony, a scary scene lures trick-or-treaters to come upstairs for their free candy.
Yes, that's my boyfriend, "Jason," on the balcony, who will be handing out candy tomorrow night. I'll also be greeting the little ghouls as the devil!
