I am going to stop planning for my weekly photos, though....because that always seems to jinx it! I thought I would have tons of great kiddie-in-costume photos this week, but no...both of us had to work last night, so no trick or treating for us! I left a substantial box of candy with a help-yourself sign outside on the porch, and that seems to have worked. We normally have hundreds of kids.
So, here's a little montage of pre-Hallowe'en in Ontario...we don't really decorate to the extent that those in the US do, but there was some fun stuff to be seen.
I'm excited to see what scary deliciousness the other participants have come up with!
Happy Toussaints!
Ah, the 'help yourself' sign didn't work very well for us last night (one kid came and took *everything* :( )... but I love your pictures - one of my son's class colleague decorates her house to the very extreme and it's always fun to go trick-or-treating on her street!
ReplyDeleteWe did have one of our daughters still out trick-or-treating (even if the older one has deemed it 'for kids' and no longer wants to be seen in a costume). And the rain held back - so a great night in all!
ReplyDeleteAt least you get some kids. I have never had kids come to our house and we have been here 3 years now. I miss seeing all the costumes :(
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween yet I live in the middle of nowhere and get no little visitors so I don't decorate any more.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of your Halloweeny world.
Eww Christmas, I'm not ready!! I like your idea though, that's awesome with the family trip! Good collage, I agree about not pre-planning the photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat collage. I love the bottom middle pic the best. Fa la la la la la la la..... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat display of Spooky Holiday stuff. My plans did not work out either...my neighbors did not light their display for the big event!
ReplyDeleteWe only had 7 kids this year normally get closer to 30 and of course I buy for 60... When we moved to the east coast there were lots of decorations.. this year all I saw was me and one other neighbour... and as for Christmas I have done nothing! Your photo collageis great.. Most weeks I run around friday morning trying to find something to take a picture of!
ReplyDeleteI like your photo collage. I live in the country so I don't get trick or treaters. People here take their kids to town.
ReplyDeleteWe never get any trick or treaters due to our rural location, but I do miss having them. Pretty shots of the season!
ReplyDeleteI think leaving a "help yourself" sign with the Halloween candy is the ultimate in trust! We had exactly 8 trick or treat-ers and had candy for many more. Uh oh......
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.We had about 24 kids come to our house, but we live on the edge of town and the parents like to go to the main street in town and then get the kiddies home. But every year I buy lots of candy so I can eat what was left.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos in your collage!! We had 1 group of 4 kids show up - usually we don't get any. We live in a neighborhood where no one turns on their lights - kids walk right past us. Sorry you had to work Halloween night!
ReplyDeleteLori, what a great collage - so festive! And oh my - that countdown til Christmas!! I always wait too long to get started on shopping and getting organized...every year I say I'll start earlier!
ReplyDeleteYour family trip in Feb. sounds wonderful. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
