So, How Did it Go?
We went for the tripple whammy this Halloween - Chili, Curb-site Hot Chocolate, and Outdoor Theatre. Since the weather was outrageously unseasonable, we cashed in on as many strategies as we could imagine.
First of all we did the killer Chili for our neighbors - three pots of chile, chips and a crock pot of nacho cheese! About 20 of our neighbors swung by, checked out the fire pit and were amazed at my orange extension cord running out to the street!
A handful of International students came over for chili - they stuck around and helped us hand out candy to kids on our front porch so we could talk with adults over hot chocolate at the end of our sidewalk.
On a whim we decided to set up a back-yard theatre on our garage wall. Our teens hosted some of their friends for a movie night starting after the trick or treating wrapped up. Kids from school. Kids from youth group. Kids from the neighborhood. The back patio was knee deep in bodies. What a mess. We loved it!
Send me your e-mails on how Halloween shook out at your place and I'll post them right here on the blog.
