Full service cafe; the food is to die for!

Comfy rooms; you’ll sleep like the dead

Something under the bed

Scooby is inspecting. Black cat approved.

Hot tub facilities

Good lighting is important

Hugz wanted a costume so we sewed him a Cousin It one.

We haven’t even had a single trick or treater tonight.

I still have three bags of hershey’s milk chocolate, cookies and cream, and reese’s cups sitting on the coffee table.

And no, eating it all isn’t an option.

I take it turning off the porch light and opening a bottle of wine to help ignore the plaintive bell ringing was not an option on your block.

Got the wine. Looking forward to seeing the costumes.

I went through about 200 trick or treaters tonight before the storms came, so I’ll count that as a win. A bit subdued than normal, but oh well

Un-costumes with fresh red wine stains are acceptable . Especially if you leave “Bloody” tire marks weaving up to the entry from outside.

(I made the mistake of not realizing it was Halloween before venturing into somewhere desperately pushing their final stock out the door to equally desperate last minute block enforcement decorators.  Maybe next year I’ll get into the spirit.)

Your set up is great.

Our tour was lame. Kids got cold, wanted to go home and inspect their loot with 1/4 buckets. I’m ashamed, I didn’t get to partake for my parents religious reasons.

Next year will be better as it’ll be on a Friday night.

Can you guess my costume? No one around here  Knew. Also it’s about 65%

Wine stains mean some of the wine didn’t get into me. That’s unacceptable.

Thanks! And the best part is all my red washes off easily.

I’m sorry you didn’t get to go full out. Next year will be better.

I’m guessing that’s a hazmat getup, although the hard hat is throwing me off a bit.

yeah, no one understands me.

:-P

My wife wants to know what you used...

There’s the answer. I never listened to the Beastie Boys.

Tell your wife I  keep lots of this around. I have a gallon in the back.

So, I showed her your post as I made my comment, and the smirk on her face was priceless. There is still some on the small garage door that we ran out of elbow grease to remove. I’ve left it on there, I guess I’ll have to Try  clean it again Sunday.

Leave it. You’ll have stories for the grandkids.

It was a similar case with our kids (ages nearly 5, 3, and 10 months). They were done pretty quick.

I said the same thing about this house 18 years ago when I moved in. I’m less sure of myself each year.

This rules. Man, I wish I’d have had the time to decorate. Halloween is the best holiday, bar none.
