Halloween post
I know this is late, seeing as how I'm starting to work on Christmas around here
What? You knew I would, I make no apologies, I love Christmas, I love the way my home feels at Christmas and I needed the distraction dang it! 
Don't worry, I'm only working on the inside, I don't want my neighborhood to know I'm a wack, I save that all for you guys! Fred and I took the kids around the short block in our neighborhood and then we came home and let Savannah pass out some candy. Obviously Savannah enjoyed the candy but I think she enjoyed passing it out just as much.
My next door neighbors go ALL out for Halloween, actually they go all out for every holiday. At Thanksgiving they have a Giant blow up Turkey on the lawn
I don't have to do much for Halloween I can just send the kids into the front yard if they want to see decorations. My house is the gray brick to the left, my neighbor is sitting in the gray "column" and as people walked from their house to ours (in the dark and not expecting anything) he'd whisper "happy halloween", it was pretty funny, they make sure not to scare kids, it's all in good fun.
The pumpkin head guy with the chain saw was in another yard, we thought it was stuffed, it was NOT. It scared me a little, ok a lot, and Fred was lucky enough to get it all on film
Last but not least it's been a while sense I shared any "pressure washer" stuff with you guys, yes I'm still addicted. It's too much fun, not so much if you hit yourself with the stream of water though.
I was holding one end of the dog house while pressure washing with the other hand, I took about 4 layers of skin off my thumb 
this was 3 days after the stove incident..... I got a nice little lecture from Fred while he was doctoring on my finger 
Like I told him, "look how clean that is!!!"Before and AFTER
I did learn my lesson and if I can't pressure wash it without holding it then, well I probably wont pressure wash it. But tell me it doesn't look like NEW. **insert tim the tool man grunt**

Who's in the Darth Vader costume?
Trey makes a cool stormtrooper!!!
I won a scariest costume contest. I modified my wolfman mask to make a Star Wars alien. I was in the running for second place in the contest, then I took the mask off.
LOL--pressure washing brings such sweet satisfaction!
@nidan - just some random guy out with his son, he asked if his wife could get a pic of the two of them together so I did too
Way to go on the wolfman mask, you'll have to post a picture of it. I put a 300 mask on for just a few minutes during the night *lol* something that I guess Tony left here.
Wow, that's a clean dog house!!!
Love the "Imperialists" together. Trey's a cutie! And little Savannah is just precious passing out candy!!
Okay...I'm most impressed with that pressure washing job. I have a borrowed pressure washer in my garage...Was supposed to do our tile roof this fall...I'm feelin' it now.
Halloween isn't a big thing here... thank goodness!
Goodness! I think our entire house could use a pressure washing to remove 207 years of English industrial air. Come on over! We've got lots of water.
You are an amazing woman; you bounce back and have a positive attitude. I think one good thing about Mr Obama is that the world loves him, whereas the Bush administration has been so closed and remote. Either way you look at it, your prayers will help, and I thank you for that.
