Bonfires at the firestation after trick or treating. Allthough in Calgary where i live they dont do that. Its kind of sad for me. But i do intend on taking my boys back to my hometown when they are older for halloween just so i can take them to one.

I also loved the halloween specials, like chralie brown and grafiled. Not too mention the pumpkin carving.

Also when i was little we used to knock at the door and then wait for the door to open before we siad trick or treat. Here in calgary they all scream at the top of thier lungs and never knock. Is this how its done anywhere else? It drives me nuts. So i got a noise activated spider to scare the kids at the door a litte. When it hears a noise it shoots down a string and its eyes light up.

we decorate our house together.

we decorate our house together.

Pre-Halloween: We listen to fun, spooky music and decorate and carve pumpkins... We order pizza and later have hot-chocolate.

On Halloween: We always go to a friends house with several other families, we have an early dinner with the kids (and drinks for the adults) and then we trick-or-treat on some of the best streets in Santa Monica.

After Halloween: The switch witch visits and everyone is left a happy camper.

this year we have started something new. my parents bought a new home in a beautiful side of town and the whole subdivision has a big party. there are NOT SO SPOOKY HOUSES, games, food, and lots of other fun things. we visited the subdivision last year becasue they were looking at homes there and we attended the party and the people were very friendly.
