Halloween 2006

All went well for Halloween 2006, the night was warmish and no rain. Perfect night for everyone. I had lots of family help and I want to publicly thank all of them for generously helping put stuff up and later taking things down. The hardest part about it all is not being able to sit down and relax. The entire day is a blur of activity with carting out selected items, deciding what stays, what works with our theme and where to put what and the hardest part, doing the lighting. I decided on less gore and more strange this year. My newest addition, The Mummy (he would move his eyes back and forth and moan or scream when someone would walk by) had issues. When I tested him out in the living room, he would constantly perform but out in the porch it seemed rather hit or miss. I could be seen rubbing his belly to activate him more often than not. The fog machine had lots of fun blowing the mist out when you least expect it. Quinton really enjoyed fogging everyone and holds the record for non stop fog at one time. He had lots of energy since he found my Ice Cap in the fridge and finished a great deal of it in a an amazingly short time. The Group Home Gang wheeled in for a visit. I was a joy to see them all there. Thanks guys!
Already I have been asked, “What are you going to do next year?” Maybe I’ll have a contest for ideas for 2007. The prize could be a role as part of the Halloween theme or something of similar value.
