This will be our first Halloween here, and according to Beth, we get mobbed by trick-or-treaters. And since the evacuations have mostly been lifted from the neighborhoods to the North and East, she's heading off to Costco for candy...
Wow, crop sharks, that's new, must be hard for the squirrels and gophers around those parts.

Beth knew just what she was talking about. She came home with three grocery bags full of candy and now there's one bowl of it. She hung black lights above the porch and we just pretty much stayed by the front door and handed out candy, with Littlebeast the black cat prowling around and looking extra halloween-y. There were some excellent costumes, but a lot of them were lost on me as I haven't seen the movies they were from. One little boy was a perfect Col. Sanders in an immaculate white suit and white hair, eyebrows, and beard. Beth said that usually later in the evening the teenagers get kinda lazy and greedy, but they didn't last night; all of the kids were remarkably well behaved.
Oh, wow - a lot of kids! But you can always go out today and stock up on candy at half price!
I don't usually recognize movie characters, either. And we usually get teenagers, some of whom don't even make the slightest effort to dress up, but this year - only one group, and the guy who wasn't dressed up didn't come to the doorway to get a treat. Shocking!
Oh my, yes today is the first day of the rest of November. That's as far ahead as I'm comfortable looking lately. Thanks for the fun, Jenny! You're remarkable.
That cat lady meme made me grin. It's the 2nd November and I'm just wondering where October went, and panicking because it's only 2 months until Christmas.
We have had a month of Halloween fun and funnies.
ReplyDeleteI welcome November! Of course somebody will find the sillies for that month too.
It's funny, I never think about November having any funny stuff in it. But, in my opinion, sillies never go wrong!
DeleteThere's danger in them thar fields.....love the sharks.
ReplyDeleteGenius idea, innit?
DeleteI so agree with your last statement. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteHowever, Happy Hallowe’en.
I really don't know where the year went. Whoosh!
DeleteLOL. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to say Happy November now that Halloween's over for another year, e!
DeleteSmiling broadly - whle wincing at the last.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Yes, that last one isn't really funny at all, is it? Only too true.
DeleteThese were hilarious, especially that mini cat lady :) That is such a great costume! Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI just love that photo!
DeleteExciting day for all kids, and some adults.
ReplyDeleteI loved it when I was growing up, and even when my kids were growing up, but now? Not really.

Well, now, I wonder how many trick-or-treaters you ended up getting??
DeleteAnd if visitor numbers were not as expected, just think about the bonus candy you have :)

Love the last one.
ReplyDeleteAs EC said, ouch - not really funny - but a clever play on words.
DeleteThese all are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs fun in the worst way, if you ask me.
DeleteHeeheehee! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAnd now Happy November, Mimi :)
DeleteThat has to be the cutest little cat lady I ever saw. :)
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty adorable, isn't she? :)
Deletei loved the funnies dear Jenny specially sharks one :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween my friend ,hope you enjoyed your festival a lot
wishing you all the joys and serenity ahead in life
hugs!
It was fun seeing all the little kids dressed up, and they were all very polite, which was nice!
DeleteNow come on; that little girl dressed as a cat lady was over the top. I never wear big rollers.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Arleen!!!
DeleteHahah!
ReplyDeleteI especially loved both the "Cat Lady" and the "Shark" ones!!!!!!
Thank you!!

I enjoyed sharing them, PT - thanks for reading!
DeleteTrick or treatment is brilliant. I also enjoyed the shark meme a lot.
ReplyDeleteSuccess! :)
DeleteOh my, yes today is the first day of the rest of November. That's as far ahead as I'm comfortable looking lately. Thanks for the fun, Jenny! You're remarkable.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're very kind, Geo.
DeleteYes, at some times, it doesn't do to look ahead too far, does it? Enjoy (or endure) the moment, and move onto the next one.
That cat lady meme made me grin. It's the 2nd November and I'm just wondering where October went, and panicking because it's only 2 months until Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning your granddaughter's costume for next Halloween yet? lol
DeleteYeah, I hate to tell you this, but it's LESS than two months until Christmas . . . :)
November is scary indeed, but not as scary as The Empty Food Bowl! Thanks for the LOLZ! :-)
ReplyDeleteOur cats would agree!
DeleteIf that little girl knocked in my door I'd give her the whole bowl of candies!
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty adorable all right!
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
