Rocky Horror

I've always liked Halloween, but it's never been a big deal to me. When I was little, of course I would dress up and go get candy. It's candy for God's sake!! I've never been one of those people to turn their house into a haunted house and dress all up and just go crazy overboard on this day.... little did I know, my husband is "one of those people".

I should have known something was up when he started getting really excited about all the Halloween decorations popping in stores around town. I also should've known when he started debating what costume he wanted to wear to open the door for the poor, helpless neighborhood kiddos.

Truth time? I had never even carved a pumpkin until I found myself carving one this year with my better half as he hovered over me making sure I didn't lose a digit (or two). Our pumpkins turned out pretty good... especially considering the fact that one of us had never done it, and the other one hadn't done it in years.

My darling husband lived in an apartment for years, and he didn't trust the hoodlums enough to leave pumpkins outside his door. He also didn't really decorate for the same reason, but now that we live in a cute neighborhood full of families (and no hoodlums as of yet), he can let himself get a little carried away.

Unfortunately, my darling husband had to work this Halloween, so by the time he got home alot of the trick-or-treaters had come and gone... we got a couple of older, candy hungry kids later on, but not many. His costume will have to wait for next year (I've already been warned, he's taking the day off), and I'm sure it's going to be awesome so I'll keep it to myself until I can post pictures in a year. =)

Ciao.
