I put some vegetable beef soup in the crock-pot on Thursday. Then I ran out to the store to pick up some candy. Jarin met me there and we took her car by the car wash. We ran by the grocery store while they cleaned it. I wanted to get a couple of pumpkins (real ones I could leave out for fall) but they were out of orange ones. I did get a plug in one and a battery operated one. Came home and got our clown set up outside in the rocking chair. Put some candy in my Halloween bowl and put the scary sounds CD into the CD player. I sat outside in a rocking chair to give out candy and Jarin came out and sat with her scream mask on. We enjoyed it and got a lot of nice comments for our efforts...ha. Startled a few with the spider.
Here's a picture of one side with the skeleton hanging up.
The spider was on the other side. I think I will get some of the fake spider web to put under it next year. It came with some to cover the mechanism but needs more under it.
This is the spider in action.
This is the clown in action.
Hope everyone has a great weekend,

Sounds like a lot of fun. We remember having fun with the kids, you are making some great memories, even if the girls are grown.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt you guys got some great comments. Loved the videos' I can see the quick acting spider startling someone.
Good one!!!
I bet you all did have as much fun Halloween as the trick or treats. Lol.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the spider.
ReplyDeleteOh to be young again. I never got to trick or treat cause we lived on a farm. My kids made up for it when they went.Cool spider.
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween too!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila. Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion on where to buy dog food but would you believe that the nearest Tractor Supply Hardware is over 75 miles away from me? Most of them are up in the Central Valley of California where all of our state's farming is. Have a great day and week.
ReplyDeleteSheila, You quit right now!!! we need no snow and it is coming. from what they say. Pass that word to Shirl. Get that idea of snow dancing right out of your head.!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLucy is going to get both of us for dancing for snow.
ReplyDeleteI think I will tap dance and will start early Friday.
I have a feeling our dance will bring snow, I am going
to think positive. Lets also sing.."Snow, Snow come today, we want snow to come our way";
Sheila and Shirl, if you MANAGE TO CONJUR SNOW, keep it there.
ReplyDeleteI am going to tap dance. I put heavier taps on them so the sound would get through the rain. I hope Lucy does
ReplyDeletenot get back on the steps and do her dance. She
don't need to fall again. I know our dance will be louder.
I will start early..Ready on the mark get ready and lets
go.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year,!!! You to Shirl; and keep whatever you conjure up be it rain, snow, or hail, sleet, KEEP IT THERE.!!!
ReplyDeleteSheila I didn't know if you were dancing..They are
ReplyDeletecalling for Snow in our area tomorrow. Will you help me dance tomorrow. It to late tonight or I would ask you to start now. Start dancing when you get up.
