Ok so it's getting dark so I'm going to see if I can leave and get home soon. Josh has gone to a friends house for dinner and some T ot T and Ethan is going to play at being a statue in front of our house (something that he's actually very good at) and frighten people as they go past.

Other than that we've got no real plans for the weekend, other than Paul working of course.

What's everone else doing this weekend ??

Too funny your son is going to scare people. Is he hoping they drop their candy so he can pick it up?!?

DD is still deciding if she's going to TorT or not before heading to gym night at church. Girls....they can never make up their mind.

DD & I are going to a retirement party tomorrow night since DH will be sleeping and then going to work.

Hey, we're about to have our annual Halloween Parade here at school.......we walk through our local borough for about an hour and then have a small class party before the kids go home. This excitement starts in about an hour..........

Then the Trick-or-Treaters start around 6pm..in about 5 hours and this goes on until about 8pm. I still have to go to the store and finish my treat bags.....long night ahead......

Happy Halloween to all!!

So what are your Halloween plans? I will take the girls trick or treating, and then we are going to the Cathedral of St John the Divine for a spooky showing of the old silent film "Phantom of the Opera" with live organ accompaniment, followed by the procession of the ghouls -- we have done this other years and it is very cool.

More info and photos here:

The Halloween Extravaganza and Procession of Ghouls takes place every year at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The annual Halloween celebration has become a New York institution, providing Halloween entertainment for a myriad of costume-clad New Yorkers. The evening's entertainment begins with a screening of a classic horror film. In 2004, they showed the 1920 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and in 2005, they showed the 1928 version of The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney. Cathedral Organist Timothy Brumfield provides an eerie soundtrack for this haunting classic film. This is the perfect atmosphere for seeing this film, but make sure you arrive early enough to sit close to the front -- the storyline is often conveyed through hand-written notes contained in the film which are difficult to read from a great distance. The Cathedral truly embodies the spirit of Halloween, with dim lighting and a ghostly feeling created by the organ music.

Following the movie, The Grand Procession of the Ghouls begins, again accompanied by the Cathedral's outstanding organist. Ralph Lee, who created New York City's Halloween Parade, stages an impressive parade of ghoulish characters who slowly work their way down the center aisle, often interacting with audience members. The costumes are impressive and the ghouls stay perfectly in character, which makes for an enjoying experience for young and old alike.

Going to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix I think - certainly it's in the spirit of the day

Don't forget Ghost Hunters has a live 5 hour special tonight--nothing like a lot of "whats that?" and "did you see that?" to liven up the night

We did not decorate much with the boys both being gone and us still cleaning up from Ike. Robert your house looks great!

What are your kids going as? My older son is going to a costume party at college dressed as Dr Horrible. I had to look it up I am getting old

Cocoa the dachshund attended a dachshund rescue party dressed as a witch. Believe it or not there were three dachshunds there dressed as Hugh Hefner, a Playboy Cheerleader and a Playboy French Maid. It was hysterical!

Blame it on the man of the house for not getting to the store in time to get the good stuff. He should have gone to Woolworth's.
