I am posting this in orange because it goes with our wacky Halloween! Our family is notoriously known for our Halloween bashes every year in our church and neighborhood and this year was no exception. We normally have 600-800 trick-or-treaters but this year we had well over 1,000! What a zoo! We live in a cul-de-sac in a very family oriented neighborhood so we are in a perfect setting. Our church band comes out and sets up right in front of our house and we make our entire backyard a haunted trail. Our next door neighbor built a haunted tunnel throughout his backyard this year. His neighbor set up a booth in which they served hotdogs, Cokes, & chips through their church. We also served sausage wraps, popcorn, & body part punch. It was the craziest thing anyone can ever imagine. Ted and I have always loved serving the community and this is a way that we can do it. We have actually talked about stopping after this year because our children are older now and it is a lot of work getting it all set up and cleaning it up afterwards, but after getting approached from so many people in our neighborhood begging us not to stop, it looks like we will have to rethink it. I am still waiting for people to e-mail me pictures they took so I can post some of them. The picture that is posted is of me and Ted. Ted was Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean. He actually was hiding inside of our pond in the backyard scaring the living bejeebers out of everyone by popping out when people went by him! He smelled so wonderful when he got out of there! NOT!!!!!! That was really why I was trying to get away from him! Hee! Hee!
