HALLOWEEN!!!!

Halloween was on a Friday night, so honestly, I did not want to be in my house this year so that I after I turned off the front porch light, some stupid teenager would try ringing the door anyway and you would hear a simultaneous ring, bark, cuss, and baby cry. You can call me the Scrooge of Halloween, but......doesn't sound like fun to me. I was all too thrilled when Stacy invited the whole fam damily to her house to hang out and do Halloween.

My father was out of town on yet another motorcycle trip, so we scooped up my Mom and brought her along!

When we got to Stacy's house, the entire neighborhood was buzzing with kids in costumes and parents too. People in her neighborhood go all out. I didn't even think to take the camera when Allen and I stepped out to trick-or-treat with Zach and I should have. People out there are nuts! Houses were decorated from top to bottom with motorized parts and smoke machines. Kids everywhere! And one of the houses near Zach and Stacy's house does a haunted house every year. The line was around the block but Zach wanted to go so Allen, my Mom, and I went with Zach to go wait in line. I am guessing we were in line about 35 minutes, but it was worth the wait.

These people had worked very hard on this haunted house, telling us it takes over a month to set up. It took less than 10 minutes to get through but considering it was just someone's backyard, that is pretty impressive! It was my Momma's first haunted house ever and she enjoyed it. She was scared more times than anyone else in the group! Of course, she had one of Allen's gin and tonics so she was not at her most aware!

We could not stop laughing at Zach, who decided this year he wanted to dress up like a woman. Well, the kid did it right! I leave you with Mr. Zachary Austin.
