Halloween Trick or Treating With LilacsNDreams
Hello, and welcome to LilacsNDreams! Excuse me it has been a while. I had been sick, and trying hard to get rid of it because I had a scheduled procedure last Monday. Yeah, I was able to do it, and now just spending time healing.
Sunday, October 27, 2024 is when our little town scheduled Trick or Treating for the kids here. We had fun decorating the outside, and bay window prior to this. Then, when we set up for Trick or Treating I generally sit outside to greet, and make sure they take plenty of candy. Love seeing the littles, their costumes, and some of the parents enjoy watching their kids with the animated figures put out for this time. It makes the holiday season fun, and enjoyable watching it all.
Here is the front of the house with our little set up. The spider is censored, and does jump out, but never hurts anyone. The headless man kept talking the whole time….slight wind, and it kept blowing right on the sensor that the pumpkin head talked. Now, the scarecrow worked too. When you reached into the bowl to get candy a sensor activated that he would sit straight up with his comment. Sooo fun watching kids with this, the parents enjoyed, they took pictures and some videoed the spider jumping too.
These pictures give you an idea how the side of the house looked a little bit too. The headstones had been glued to a piece of wood making them a little more sturdy. Then, expandable foam was sprayed around the bottom of the stone and wood. Once it dried the foam was then spray painted a dark brown giving it more of a dirt ground look. We used skeletons, and dressed them with costumes, and they were set with stakes in the ground. It’s nothing fancy, but fun. Better yet watching the kids, and how people look and react is very fun, and enjoyable.
Thought I would show you some pictures of the night view when the bushes, and lights are all on. The front door has a door cover with a strand of lights around the door frame to appeal to the picture.
Thanks so much for stopping by LilacsNDreams! Glad to have you here. Enjoy the rest of the week with Halloween festivities. Be safe, and see you again soon. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
