Don't forget to roast the seeds for your husband, he'll be pretty impressed.

I'll have to do that in the Uuni.  :P

Backkkkk to the Pumpkin Beer for a sec..... PB....can I pleaseeeee buy some from you?! It's like the beer I miss most from home! Especially at this time of year!

Seriously Phatbeetle, what do you do with all that beer?  The research I did was talking about batches of 30 pints!  I try hard to limit my after work to a pint or so, any more and I'll have to stop eating.    AFAIK, you can't sell it, what do you do with it?

Also if there is going to be beer distribution, count me in!  I'll do whatever it takes, including buying you a bunch of empty bottles.

How about this: me, kiss of death and HMS seahorse all drive up and get some, picking up Son of Sailor on the way.  We have a proper knees up with you and Albatross and NCTami.

What do you all do with the pumpkins once Halloween is over?  ::)

The beauty place round the corner has an offer on for a pumpkin facial!  So I've booked for tomorrow morning.  Hopefully I won't come out orange.

We have had a few trick or treaters knock on our door tonight.  They all looked fabulous and when they heard my husband's American accent - they all went into ecstasy! So much fun!

We had loads! I enjoyed seeing all the kids. We ran out of candy (three tubs of it)! I did half the trick or treating with our daughter and husband did the other half. We just moved to this house and so it was nice to speak to some of the other people.

We got  12 ‘guisers’ tonight, which is awesome considering it’s a wee village.  Some epic jokes and riddles this year. Best ones I’ve heard for Halloween, since I’ve been here.

We hardly get any trick or treaters, but we had 10 this year which is a record! Unfortunately, one of our pumpkins was stolen tonight though. I thought I heard something outside, and shortly after went out to look. Sure enough, one of the pumpkins was gone.

My husband carved a cool design on that one, too. Little b***ards...... or they could have been big b***ards, who knows  ::)

Teheheh, a friend of mine (in the US) posted on social media a photo of her son's Halloween stash with the statement, "One of these things doesn't belong"-
Included in the photo were Almond Joys, Kit Kats, Milky Ways, Skittles, Dum Dums, Cracker Jacks, Fruit Snacks and a Pocket Size Bible. 

I mean, really, who gives away fruit snacks on Halloween anyway?   ;) ;D :D

HAHA!  My granny used to buy a box of Cocoa Puffs (or Pops?  Cant remember... the one with the big crazy bird), and divide it up into little baggies to hand out at Halloween!  I tried to make sure no one knew she was my granny...

I thought destroying pumpkins was par for the course at the later stages of Halloween night.  After the last of the parents escorting kids have gone home, it's time to show some tough love to the pumpkins.
