Be Afraid...

It's always a spooky experience having seven twelve year old boys invade your house - somewhere between an earthquake, a riot and a wrestling match. But when they look like this, it's truly terrifying!
A group of Will's friends gathered at our house to get ready and hype themselves up to the appropriate level of fever-pitch excitement before heading off trick-or-treating. There is a convention in our village that if you welcome trick-or-treaters, you put a pumpkin lantern outside your door. The kids all know to leave the houses without pumpkins alone! I don't know whether this is the same everywhere, but it seems to work.
(I added a couple of extra masks to preserve anonymity)
I like the pumpkin tradition! I think you'd say it works that way, too, in the states, though I've never had it stated that way. So sad to think of my darkened house, nott being home this year...and our girls live behind gates. Because of the latter in this community, I did notice a lot of kids in costumes in the nearby shopping district yesterday...I think they're treated well there! Happy Halloween to all of you!

I think you are very brave Helen lol. I recognise Wills in spite of his mask. I think its a good idea having pumpkin friendly houses. hope they got lots of treats.

Yikes, this IS scary stuff, nightmare even!!! 7 12 year old boys, could be the title for a new horror film!! when glancing at this quickly the hand of the boy infront of the clown boy at the back looks like his teeth, um not explained that v well, but look at clown boy and the hand infront of his face!! Oh and just noticed how hairy that one is, the bearded one... oh and the one with no face at all, and that must be Will behind him!! Hope they got lots of treats!
