A Day For Quotes ~Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!  My your day be filled with fun!  Here are a few Halloween related quotes/poem, along with a look back on our past Halloweens.  Everyone be safe out there today!!

 

 

It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels
Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms
In masks and gown we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat
Tonight we are the king and queen, For oh tonight it's Halloween!
Jack Prelutsky

O Time, in your flight
make me a child again
just for to-night!

The witches’ fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, "Who? Who? Who?"
The black cats yowl
And green ghosts howl,
"Scary Halloween to you!"
- Nina Willis Walter

This would be my Cutie Bug!  While not his Halloween costume, when I saw this shirt on the clearance rack at Wal-Mart last year I just knew I had to have it.  Strange, but his sister fails to see the humor in this!!

In My Neighborhood Tuesday ~Mailbox

So apparently everyone in my small town is not into mailboxes! I looked, I made Hubby drive so I could look, and then after 5 days I finally gave up looking. Apparently no one in our town has a cool mailbox.

So I give you ours. It was inherited don’t you know. The birdhouse isn’t mine, is not my taste so please don’t tell me it’s cute. I know it is, in a homey sort of way gag.

If my husband got to choose a mail box, this would be his: It’s a biker thing, don’t you know.

I would like mine to change with the seasons. This would be mine just about right now…

If your neighbors actually have a cool mailbox, or if you do too (and you have a picture) jump over to Eighty MPH Mom and get your picture up, because you so know you want to join in on In My Neighborhood Tuesday with Eighty MPH Mom!
