What!?! No Zombies????! Boy, if we had a nickel for every time we hear
that this year on Halloween night, Eric could retire early. It was hard for
Eric and the kids to scale back their decorating this year, but after last
year’s over-the-top zombie theme with live actors and boarded up windows,
everyone needed a little break. Many of those who stopped at the door to
trick-or-treat commented how much they missed the zombies this year. But, others were grateful that the little kids weren't scared to come to the door.
What is
crazy is that even with a “lower key” approach, the house decorations were still
heads and shoulders above everything else in the neighborhood. Spiders was the
theme (Eric always has to have theme). McKenna was the webbing expert and she
was the one who handled all the finer details this year. The ENTIRE front of
the house was covered in webbing with giant spiders descending from the roof and
rafters. We even had moving spiders spilling out of our bedroom windows, a
little high tech special effect Eric rigged up using computers and projectors.
Creepy Itsy Bitsy Spider songs completed the décor.
The real horror was the inside of the house where we had two full teen
Halloween parties going on with great party food and scary movies to boot.
Grandma G also delivered with her traditional Cheese Zombies and Basil Tomato
Soup. Thanks Grandma G!

I was glad my nieces came to visit me. Brenna even sat on the stairs with me and helped me hand out candy.
