ABC - Safety on Halloween - a funny

Buy your own candy.
Stay home and eat all the candy yourself.
Do NOT share candy.
Eat your own candy.
Eat it all before Nov. 15th otherwise it will taste yucky and you will be too full to eat turkey and pie and Cool-Whip.

ABC - Carving Pumpkins

Not my photo.

This isn't exactly what I plan to do, but it's so cute!!! I think I'm going to do something similar for the library with old book pages!

For at home, I'm just going to use a plain orange and uncovered pumpkin, but with the cute black mask.

ABC - First Hauntings

Way back before we had children, some friends of ours, my hubby and I all went to the "Brandon's Haunted Woods". This was back before safety inspections and politically correctedness.  Meaning - it was a lot more fun back in the day! LOL Anyway, it was great scary fun. The exhibits were amazing! 

A real car wreck - with a mannequin... or so you thought. The mannequin was a real person that would jump at you when you leaned in real close to look at the AMAZING details in the car wreck.  However, he didn't jump at everyone....

The photo above I haven't seen in person, but I'm willing to bet that the head in the pic is the dummy head for the daytime photo. I'd bet a chunk of change that the head at night is attached to a real live human and screams at you when you get too close!

There was a man all in black following us. Sometimes I'd see him, but in the darkness of night, he could just blend in to his hiding places and not be seen when he didn't want you to. So, SUDDENLY, there he'd be again, up close and personal breathing, literally, down your neck!

It was all great fun. That guy in all black followed me out to the parking area - deep into a corn field....

There is one more time that I want to mention - it's a first for me, so I think it fits this post. We've always "known" that our library is haunted, but one night I filmed a sound byte and got a real flippin' EVP!! I even got one that said, "Hello Tyra" it totally freaked me out and I haven't really done anything since - even though I've been asked...

We are quite the group at our public library after hours!!!

ABC - Halloween

When I was 6 years old, I went Trick or Treating in Berkeley, California.  My cousins, Aunties and I went around Lola Mom's neighborhood. What made it so memorable was the fact that it was DARK outside!  Back in Wisconsin, we had only gone Trick or Treating during the afternoon, so the darkness was special.

Another memorable time was when neighborhood kids wrapped up rocks and handed them out - "I got a rock."
