Sunday Selections # 764
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.
A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.
Nothing rude or vulgar though.
And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.
In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.
Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.
Beginning today with this month's calendar page:
the rest of the pictures are all the Halloween decorations at the twins home, so no commentary is needed.
The door knocker is animated and when switched on a spooky voice says "welcome to the haunted house", then when the knocker is used a second sentence "are you scared little goblin?" and again with a third sentence which I can't remember.
Gen loved it, but Ana said the voice was scary and angry.
On the actual night both girls loved trick-or-treating and were especially thrilled when a skeleton gave them treats.
I have night images with the lights on and will show those next week.
I like the skeletons on the swing and bars.
ReplyDeletejabblog; they are cute aren't they?
DeleteI like how the spider kind of matches the roses. And that lawnmower victim!
ReplyDeleteVal; it all came together very well.
DeleteCarai!
ReplyDeleteN'hi ha que fan por. ;-)
sa lluna; scary for little kids maybe, but it helps if you let them help put it all together.
DeleteVery creative and fun.
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; S is very creative, very artistic, she's just full of ideas.
DeleteI assume they have trick or treaters come by? It would be fun to replace the lawn mower victim with a real person that would rise up at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteMike; I heard they had about 60 kids come by with their parents, so it was a fun night. I think a real victim rising up might scare smaller kids too much, and there's quite a few really young kids in their area.
DeleteVery nicely done, and I'm sure all the children loved the decorations.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; I'm told it was a great night with the twins being thrilled to get treats from a skeleton and plenty of chaperoning parents who came for the fruit handouts they remembered from last year. Sarah always does a good show.
DeleteThey certainly decorated a good bit. I'll bet they enjoyed it. I don't remember the question, either.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; she spent several days getting things put together, but had to wait for J to get home from work each day to work on the frames. I never remember the question.
DeleteThey went to a lot of trouble, but it all looks good R.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; it did look very good, but by now it is all taken apart and put away.
DeleteThe "Thumb up" is my fav and ... you Aussies, you! Spiders in your country are big(ger) than ours or even so tiny you hardly see them, yet deadly, I met both - not funny!
ReplyDeleteThe truth: If I had known about your insects I´d told Ingo to visit Australia by himself!!!!
Glad I didn´t know.
I was stuck in the mass, more than once, and... the rest was so beautiful, I loved it.
And the weirdest: We never checked our shoes and never was anyone inside (may not speak for... aw, well... ;-)...) We collected firewood with bare hands... (1999 we had glovies - God has other idiots to take care of).
My Mum used to say: " God is with the dumb. The dumbest he helps".
Have a great Sunday and I look forward to the next!
Iris; good idea to always wear gloves for firewood and boots in case of spiders or snakes and always tip them upside down and bang them hard before putting them on. I am glad you didn't know and came to find our beautiful country. Posted a pressie to you this morning, postman said it will arrive in Germany by nine days, but doesn't know how long it will take to clear customs in your country and get to you.
DeleteI am sorry I was so late with Sami´s - positive - answer! I thank you and hope for the best!
DeleteAs I said in my recent post, I'm not into this Hallowe'en commercialisation. I like the decorations etc. but I would keep them up all year round.
ReplyDelete:o)
Cheers

Plasman; keeping them up all year takes away the "specialness", like Christmas and Easter decorations. Also here in Australia any "spiderwebs" and other gauzy fabrics get taken down quickly so birds don't get tangled in them.
DeleteHello and Happy Sunday ...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the Halloween photographs.
Wishing you a good week ahead.
All the best Jan
Lowcarb team member; thank you, our week ahead is predicted to be cold and wet. thank goodness for houses and heaters!
DeleteI enjoyed the Halloween photos, River!
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk; you're welcome
DeleteI reread it again today and just really love that spider too!
DeleteI get excited by new tea towels!!! I just found one when decluttering that must have been given as someone's memento to a disney park and it is special. Currently being used to cover up a very badly streaked side table
ReplyDeletejeanie; I get excited by new towels of any kind, the softness, the bright colours, the newness, is all good.
