@GraemeE neighborhood was hoppin’ !! How was the take?

My wife asked me to set up a photo shoot with our one month old, Jacko. I actually love how it turned out. I find it charming how the red of his face and white horns contrast with the black blanket.

All of the gourds were grown in our gardens.

[GraemeE]

Very respectable

Your kids still get into it?

[SKT]

@GraemeE those bags look heavy…oh yeah my 11 year old daughter loves it but this was the first year my son (14 ) was too cool

We hand out candy every year for Halloween. This year, a slightly drunk middle aged woman smoking a cigarette came to our door. She didn't have any kids with her

Outstanding.

[Matt]

I’d have given her a Fireball mini.

[ZackB]

@Matt she would have gave you one.

@SKT we talked our 13 year old in to doing one last time this year

[Matt]

@ZackB I thought your response to @skt was about the Fireball and I was thinking, bold. I don’t hate it.

@indigo_fades regarding your question “Anyone else's wife have them doing Christmas tree activities a little early this year?”

Yes, the girls were busy last night.

We also made our Christmas pudding. The tree will be this upcoming weekend, schedules permitting.

if it were up to me Christmas decoration would be put up on December 23 at the earliest. I refuse to eat any Christmas related sweets until the first advent. Also, Last Christmas is the worst song in the world and if played I will leave the room immediately

Scrooge

[goosehd]

@scooter he’s not wrong about last Christmas though…

[scooter]

He should change his forum name to Ebenezer...

Agreed except sweets... like last year we won't be at home therefore no tree, no decorations...
