And just like that - pouf - it's over...

By the time the kids get home from school, all the decorations will be gone. 

Any sign of spooky fun has disappeared for another year...

My favs were these two - the Pacman (the binky turned to ghosts in the wind) 

and the Eyes. It's not clear but there's a lady also dressed with a big eye and thee was smoke and noises which I didn't catch.

“There is a child in every one of us who is still a trick-or-treater looking for a brightly-lit front porch.”

There's something so joyous and magical about Halloween, and there's a bittersweet edge as the evening draws to a close. 

For we know "The world turned upside down — in a good way — for one black velvet night." and it is 11 more months until the celebrations begin again....

(Quote by Karen Fortunati)

I hope you had happy hauntings and were met with gleeful delight by those that roamed the streets.

And now it's just 8 weeks until Christmas so prepare for that onslaught....

(As an aside, I saw a tweet about autistic kids needing a blue bucket because they can't say trick or treat or something - don't be that jerk. You are giving away free lollies. Don't care if the kids aren't dressed up, don't care if they're bussed in from another suburb, don't care if they're 'too old' and don't care if they don't say anything...you're giving it away, so give it away with no strings...just read the room a bit.)

Halloween treats from The Tea Cosy

 

The Tea Cosy in The Rocks is delivering a halloween box this week - with halloween surprises along with pumpkin scones and slime cream. It received a squeal of delight in our house for the  (hopefully) last day of zoom school. It's not too late to order and have a festive afternoon tea! (Not sponsored, I just thought it was cute)

Others in the neighbourhood are making the most of the excuse to decorate. 

We just started last night, but it has made my youngest happy. Not entirely sure how it will pan out in terms of what we can do, but it seems this has to be enough until we know. Very much a day by day thing as cases seem to be popping up at schools all around us.
