Halfway to Halloween!

Wow, we are flying through this month!

Do you have any plans for this weekend?

It rained again for us this week..

The water almost came in through the back doors!

We still managed to do some fun things though.

 It felt so festive and chilly outside the day after it rained, that we went to a place called

Donut Parlor to celebrate.

look at this maple bacon donut..I got a vanilla iced coffee  with it:)

Remember the ghost from last week?

I added a little bit of glitter to it..what do you think?

We carved this pumpkin while watching a scary movie..

guess what kind of monster it was about?

That's right..a vampire..

The movie was an old Disney one called

'Mom's got a date with a vampire' 

It's silly but it reminds me of when my girls were little.

The next night we watched Candyman..

Do you remember that one?

 it's based off of an urban legend..like bloody Mary.

You say his name five times..

he appears and ........kills you? 

I don't know, that doesn't sound fun to me..lol

The movie is really good though.

Here's one more we watched...

This one's pretty scary..

 

 

Two couples vacationing together in an R.V. 

from Texas to Colorado are terrorized

 after they witness a murder during a Satanic ritual. 

.............................................................................

Speaking of the devil,

let's gather together again and try to keep warm..

never mind the stealthy noises you hear beyond the firelight..

One evening I was out in our front yard..setting up some of the decorations for Halloween.

Our young neighbor was there, untangling lights and tinsel..

He loved helping me out because his family did not decorate and it got him out of 

doing homework for a few hours.

We were busy stretching out a couple of the light strands when we noticed how quiet it had it become.

It almost felt like the volume had been turned all the way down

 on a radio that had been on full blast.

 I looked up and said..what happened?  

He put his finger to his lips, to shush me...

It remained quiet for about ten to fifteen seconds,

 then all of a sudden, the dogs, at the very end of the street started barking and howling..

pretty soon all the dogs on our street were carrying on, making a terrible racket.

Then, just as suddenly as it began, it was over..

the normal people/car/street sounds 

were all we could hear.

Again, I asked, What happened?

Louis, my neighbor, said,

"Oh, it's the devil. Haven't you ever heard that before?"

I shook my head slowly..

Allegedly, if you hear lots of dogs going crazy, at night, for no reason (like seeing a cat or something)

it is because the devil is passing through, looking for a soul to

 either inhabit or just terrorize.

When you hear the dog's warning,

you are supposed to stop what you're doing and stay quiet.

I thought it was a chilling little urban legend

creepy, but a bit silly.

 But when I'm outside alone at night and I hear all the dogs barking and howling,

Well, then  it's not so silly anymore.

Well, I'm off..

have a spooky week!!!
