Halloween 2009 …and I look back fondly at the pictures.

My little Geordan is not so little… we didn’t even carve a pumpkin this year.

We had a delightful weekend with Zach who came to spend the Halloween with us; he grew up too! I remember previous Halloweens Zach would come over with his dad Lee and we’d all pile in the car — drive to a pumpkin patch and have the boys pick a pumpkin each.. then we’d carve it with the boys.

This year Zach was so sweet to come up to central Florida and spend it with us… I had prior plans to do some community work up at Lake Mary with Rosezetta — we had already registered a booth to give out candies at their annual Spooktakular event. We had over 700 kids stop by our booth…right up to the last minute… we were able to give out all our treats!

Rosezetta and I decided to celebrate our Goodwill and stopped at Chilis for a little R&R …we thought the patrons would enjoy us in our costumes and it was quite delightful laughing and smiling with total strangers.

While at the home front Geordan was having a blast with his friends, this year he had his friends come over he had a party of his own.

TRICK OR TREAT!!

SMELL MY FEET, GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT.

~~ My favorite Halloween treats: snickers and mounds

What is your favorite Halloween Treat?

The history of “Trick’O'Treating“ can be traced back to the early celebrations of All Soul’s Day in Britain. The poor would go begging and the housewives would give them special treats called “soulcakes”. This was called “going a-souling”, and the “soulers” would promise to say a prayer for the dead.

Over time the custom changed and the town’s children became the beggars. As they went from house to house they would be given apples, buns, and money.

During the Pioneer days of the American West, the housewives would give the children candy to keep from being tricked. The children would shout “Trick or Treat!”.

Trick or treat, you’re so neat.
Give me something good to eat.
Nuts and candy, fruit and gum.
I’ll go away if you give me some.

Daisy Says: You’re never too old to have a little fun! Boo!

Just had to share this picture I took at the Publix Market in my town. A bunch of skeletons drinking beer and shooting pool. Just gotta love them Halloween decorations!

Too funny… is it a sign of the economy? I mean, these bones are in a food market and their starving! HAHAHA!
