Another year over

And halloween is over for another year.

It's sad - there's such a big lead up, and most people only have their decorations up on Halloween afternoon. I miss the US where everyone's autumn decorations were up for a couple of weeks. Although with the heat in Australia, a carved pumpkin really wouldnt last that long.

We had lots of lollies left, as we're in a quiet street, with only 3 houses putting up decorations. We got told we had the second-best decorations (the teens had put up the decorations this year).

A success was when I caught the bus to work in the morning, and two dads were talking behind me. They said they would go up and down two of the busiest streets in my suburb, and then they named my street!

We had a full-sized ghoul on the front door, that screamed out 'help me help me' in a really annoying voice, if you made a loud noise. For the first few trick-or-treaters, the kids scared the dogs, who started barking, and triggered the ghoul. It was noisy.

Please feel welcome to upload photos to the site, or onto the Facebook page.

And start planning for next year.
