Every year my neighbors and good friends go absolutely ape chit crazy at Halloween. Think of it as "Mormons gone wild. " This year, they out did themselves. Traffic started at 6 pm.
.................................. and We ran out of Candy at 7 pm.
It's called the "H" fallout. Their house brings people from neighborhoods far and wide, along with a lot of their fellow church brothers and sisters. That's a big family. Hundreds.... or so it seems.
We like to have fun too... even though we're not Mormons...(snicker), so we do what we can. Which isn't much..lol.
The pic doesn't show it, but at our house there are skeleton lights over the door, purple bat lights on the railings, "eyes' in the bushes, strobe light and black light in the foyer.
Son #2 was wearing a gorilla mask and scaring small children while giving out candy... lol. In spite of the way it looks with the flash, it was very dark around our house and it looks cute.
Hey! Next to the Mormon Fun House 2 doors down, cute is the best you can hope for. lol. It's dark around our house because the neighbors on either side and across the street from us and turn off all their lights, lock their doors and pretend they're not home on Halloween.
See, having the Halloween fun house so close is expensive. This year we gave out 12 bags of candy. 12 LARGE bags. Approximately 576 pieces of candy....one by one by one;to butterflys, ninjas, sumo wrestlers wearing santa hats(!?), the Flintsones, princesses, one gopher, spidermen, etc, etc. It was a great fun.
Darn those Mormons know how to party pagan. (Since Halloween falls on a Sunday, the county decided we needed to observe it on Saturday.)
