We’ve decorated our house many times into a complete bat cave, green glowing lights included. There is always a full graveyard out front and one of us always has a party. From full on adult costume parties that the neighborhood is invited to complete with my infamous Dead Drunk Cake and Froggy Swamp Punch to the kids costume parties where I gross them out with my disgusting (but surprisingly delicious) Kitty Litter Cake.
We have a Halloween tradition of making Chili and cornbread and carving pumpkins. One year, when my son was about five, we invited the neighbors over. At the time there were four other couples in the neighborhood with children between 5-9. It was a rare, stormy night in southern California. We spread newspaper out on the kitchen floor, got all of the kids and parents set up, then lighting hit the transformer outside and the entire street was plunged into darkness. We carved the pumpkins and ate by candlelight, told silly ghost stories, and laughed until our sides hurt. My son has grown (he’s 17 now), and although the chili and cornbread recipes are the same, the carvings have become more elaborate. Last year he and hubby decided to put road flares in the pumpkins in lieu of candles. The affect was amazing!
