This is Halloween. Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. I love Tim Burton and of course Danny Elfman. Who better to do the music for Tim than someone who wrote…”It’s a dead man’s party. Who could ask for more. Everybody’s coming, leave your body at the door. Leave your body and soul at the door” I love Oingo Boingo growing up. I was so sad when they stopped. And in case you didn’t know, that is Danny singing as Jack and he does the voice for Barrel of the 3 monster kids Lock, Shock and Barrel, and lastly Clown with the tear away face. To look at a picture of Danny and his sister Jenna Elfman and think, “Wow! What happened there!”
So if you couldn’t guess, Halloween is my favorite holiday. My house inside and out is decorated. And I think I have instilled this manic love of the holiday into my kids! Yeah! They will keep the tradition alive. Next step, to get them to start goring it up. You know, not just a princess but a bloody princess with an eye missing or part of a bone sticking out. I am moving my daughter to that part by buying her books like Cinderella Skeleton. It’s the story of Cinderella except you guess it….they are all skeletons. Instead of losing a crystal slipper she loses her whole foot. I love it!
So here are my kids this Halloween. Superman with a John Deere tractor hat and a princess although she wouldn’t specify which one and she didn’t want to wear a crown. But she did want to wear her plastic princess shoes. Walking around the neighborhood in cheap plastic princess shoes. AH, NO! I am not carrying you back home. We did get rained on when we were at the farthest from our house. But did that stop my candy fiend kids. NO. Hubby and I stood under trees while my kids ran from house to house.
They know the true spirit of Halloween for their age or any age…….

CANDY!
