I have some great memories of Halloween as a kid. My sister and I would get all dressed up and we'd head over to the Sagamore area in Mission Hills. This is one of the best areas for trick-or-treating in KC. Almost every house hands out candy and the street is bustling with kids. Following a busy night on Sagamore, we'd head
home and separate our candy by grouping all the same kinds together. Oh, to be young again...
I'm actually really excited for Halloween. It will be my first year having trick-or-treaters! I went out a bought a cute little basket for candy.
I can't wait to see the little kid costumes. Some of them are so cute. Much more creative than when I was a kid. My white "Ghost" pillowcase costume with holes for eyes and arms constitutes as a pretty 'blah' costume.
My costume for this year has yet to be determined, but knowing how many little kids are in my neighborhood, I probably shouldn't pull out the "sexy" bee or pirate costume I've donned in the past. I'll keep it classy this year. Maybe one of these will be appropriate for the burbs: http://www.countryewe.com/category.cfm/117. Kidding.
I received a flier in my mailbox last month encouraging homeowners on my street to put a seasonal decoration in their front yard during the month of October. Most of the "yard art" on my street hasn't been too bad. It consists mainly of straw scarecrow-type figures.
I don't plan on putting art (crap) in my yard this year. For now, I'll consider my leaves I haven't picked up as my festive decor. In addition to my fall "leaf display" I'll probably add a few pumpkins and hang these jack 'o lanterns from my porch.
I'll post photos of my non-festive house once I put my pumpkins out. Speaking of photos, check out this disturbing lawn display...
