HALLOWEEN PART 1- DAYTIME

WOKE UP ON OCTOBER 31ST...LOOKED OUTSIDE AND KNEW, IT WAS GONNA BE A VERY COLD NIGHT.

THE WEATHER PEOPLE HAD BEEN GETTING IT WRONG ALMOST ALL MONTH TELLING US THAT WE WERE GONNA HAVE SNOW SHOWERS AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND FOR HALLOWEEN...AND I ALMOST BELIEVED THEM, BECAUSE AROUND 11am I SAW THIS.
THE LITTLE WHITE SPECS ARE SNOWFLAKES.

WE HAVE A NURSERY THAT ALWAYS HAS A MAZE SO WE DECIDED TO GET THE BOYS OUT OF THE HOUSE.

I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WAS SPRING FOR A MOMENT WHEN I SAW THIS PLANT.

THEY HAD SO MANY OF THEM ON DISPLAY AND I GOT SAD BECAUSE I CANT PLANT THEM OR TAKE THEM WITH ME.

THE SNOW FALL HAS SUBSIDED AND ACTUALLY STOPPED WHEN WE LEFT OUR HOUSE, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD A CRAZY WHOOSH BLOW THROUGH AND THIS IS WHAT IT WAS.

CRAP...IT WAS STARTING TO COME DOWN AND STICK !!!

SO WE DECIDED TO STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE AND RIDE IT OUT.

THE MAZE.

I WANT THIS GARGOYLE IN MY NEXT YARD...BUT HE COSTS ALOT OF MONEY....AND I REALLY WANT 2.



MY BOYS.

IT SERIOUSLY LOOKED MORE LIKE THEY WERE SET UP FOR SPRING IN THERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAPPENED UPON THESE BEAUTIES IN THE GIFT AREA.

THESE ARE CARVED FROM GOURDS AND PUMPKINS...AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME...I THINK THEY ARE TOO PRETTY AND WAY PRICEY TOO.

THE HALLOWEEN ONES ARE AWESOME...AND I THINK ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE MY PUMPKIN I JUST CARVED.

THEY EVEN HAD CHRISTMAS ONES TOO !!

I CAUGHT BACK UP WITH THE BOYS AND WE DECIDED WE SHOULD HEAD HOME SINCE WE HAD BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE, BUT SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST SNOW WE LET THEM PLAY ALITTLE.

HERE IS MY SPECIAL CHILD CATCHING SNOWFLAKES WITH HIS TONGUE.

THE SNOWFALL DIDN'T LAST, AND I AM GLAD...I DON'T WANT TO SEE SNOW TIL WE GET TO GERMANY, BUT I KNOW THAT IS WISHFUL THINKING.

AS A MATTER OF FACT...THIS SNOW WAS GONE BY TRICK OR TREAT TIME AND WE HAD A CLEAR BUT SUPER COLD ALL HALLOWS EVE.
