Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Oh, those are great! Are those giant monsters skeletal werewolves in that one photo? There's a slightly different one against a lamp post.

We had s nice little party at church last night. Everybody ate chili, the kids played games and had a costume contest, and then it wrapped with Trunk or Treating in the parking lot. I always decorate my car to the hilt. Some do and some don't. It was an enjoyable time.

Those costumes are fabulous! What a festive nighr!

I remember comics like that. My mother bought them for me when we went on cross-country vacations. I still remember some of the stories. One was about a man who gradually realized he was the corpse at the funeral. He was dead but still fully aware.

Oh, nice! Thats not your apt, though. Did you go to one of your sibs' houses?

Love the dancing skeletons!

Happy Halloween to one and all!

She did make the bridesmaids gowns.

Re our honeymoon, yes, we had a week in San Antonio before he reported to Hood in Killeen. He paid for it, as is traditional.

We lucked out on expenses, because, if you have a church wedding, you're not paying for a venue for the ceremony, just the reception. We had ours at the church, and it was ...

That sounds fascinating!

Lol. OMG, yes, he might have wondered what was up with that!

October is such a busy month for academics. Back when I was working, it meant midterms. It's not exactly that in the high schools, but it very much is the thick of things. We weren't thinking about that when we chose our wedding date ...

Wow! I can't believe you remembered my husband's birthday!
