Tis The Season

Hello Everyone,
Its October and you know what that means at Chez Neumansky....That's right Halloween!!!!!

We got our candy order from Amazon.

Lets zoom in on that yellow label.

That box is just full of candy....wow, HEAVY, lift with care.
If I counted right I ordered 2000 pieces and we will probably run out.

Saw this wheelchair at a second hand store....they want $150 for it...sigh...

I could make such an awesome prop with that....ghost wheelchair that moves by itself
while emitting a spine tingling cackle?

Here's how the front yard looks so far.

We decided to switch things up a bit this year. The old exit is now the entrance.
Bob's spider web will be across the driveway where there is a larger space for
people to gather.
The overlay theme this year is g-g-g-g-g-ghosts!!!!! As Shaggy would say.
For the first time ever we've had to buy white sheets, and material to make ghosts.

Here's my favorite.

This picture was taken Sept. 24th...
GAG!!!!!!!!! Just in case you can't tell that case is full of egg nog! I literally
gagged thinking about drinking egg nog on a hot Sept day.

Happy Haunting Everyone!

Its Almost Halloween Time!

The surest sign that it is Halloweentime around Casa Madmadscientist is our annual delivery of goodies from The Oriental Trading Company or OTC as its commonly called.

Unlike past years where I was sweating the delivery and we almost didn't get it in time, this year I ordered extra early.

This is what ~$100 of candy from OTC looks like.

That's over 1200 individual pieces of candy!I always go for the wacky assortments and candy from my childhood. Pop rocks anyone? Lik-em-aid?

Here's a shot of some other stuff that was in the box.

We always need more rats, crows and fake barbwire (who is barb and why does she have a wire named after her?).This year OTC had these neat coffin with skeleton party invites that we had to get.
If you're a neighbor don't be surprised to find one of these on your doorstep.

Now, mama and daddy madmadscientist have already sampled the wares....so far toddler madmadscientist hasn't figured out whats in the box. 'Whats in the box man,...whats in the box!'
We'll be in trouble when she does, cause boy does that kid love dum-dums....

Hopefully there will even be some candy left to hand out on Halloween....

Let The Annual Holiday Weight Gain Begin!!!
