Happy Halloween

Well, it's that time of year again. Time to get dressed up as nuns and go bar hopping. ha. Just kidding. It's time to let the kids and grandkids go from door to door in an organized panhandling troupe in hops of scoring lots of sweet treats.

Thanks to a grant from the Alaska Highway Safety Office, officers from the Fairbanks Police Department, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Police Department and Volunteers in Policing will be patrolling city neighborhoods between 5:30 - 9:00PM giving out glow sticks to trick or treaters. These glow sticks will help Fairbanks trick or treaters be more visible as they wander from house to house in the dark.

Jesse, I love that photo.  Perfect.  Love my trick or treaters even though I don't get too many anymore.  I had to go buy more candy today on my way to work because my husband found the stash and ate most of it.  The thing that gets me though is that he can eat it and never gain weight- some how I know God is going to punish him for that?

Anyway, we missed you and have a Happy Halloween!!

Liz - We do the same thing.  :)  The photo's on the right are mine... I have been having fun with my new camera.  You should check out Richard Weisser... he's a real pro!

Jason Jar Jar - Thank you sir! 

Lynda - haha... I'll never tell. :) 

Audrey - Tell you husband to get his mitts off the candy or a semi-tipsy heavy set nun will come see him tonight. haha

Richard - Thanks!  The office is finally open so I can get back to normal again... whatever that is.

Paul - It scared the turtle wax right outta me!

Kevin - Thanks!  Hope you have a great night too.

Jesse, that is a good one.  I had friends that did that costume, but to add insult to injury they made the nuns pregnant.  Hateful friends of mine.

One Halloween, many moons ago, I dressed up in my friend's old wedding gown and went with a group of friends to bars on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. I'd spy some poor sucker at the end of the bar, sitting alone. So, I'd run up to him and say, "Where were you! We were all waiting. How could you do this to me?"

Hey there Jesse! I took the day off since the kids are out of school today. (When do these kids go to school I wanna know?) We just finished carving her pumpkin. We did a Jack Skellington. She is dressing up as a fairy princess and the cat is going to be Dracula. I will be posting pics later this afternoon.

So I noticed you have a lot of indoor activities going on....because who wants to go door to door at negative 18 degrees right!?

Hi Jesse!  I love it--dressing up as nuns... ;-)  I'm going to have to share that one with my best friend who is Catholic and LOVES martinis!  Great gig for the two of us next year!!!  Great list of fun things to do too.  I also noticed that you watermark your photos--what program do you use to do that?

Hi Jesse,
Happy Halloween to you too!  We're gearing up for the big night and the sugar rush!  I'm trying to get some real food into the little one before we start out but that plan is not going well.

Jesse,

What a gorgeous photo. As for Halloween, in a building where we live out of 197 units there are maybe only 15 occupied, and I see only 2 10-11 year-old twins. Nobody will come and knowck on our door. I do not think many other condos will see anyone knoecking on the doors. We are dead empty.

We still got candies, waiting... Just in case.

There is life in single family residential developments and there will be fun, not in the condos, whihc are practially exclusively adsentee owners, or non occupied.
