It’s Friday! Halloween in the Chicagoland area turned out to be a snow covered mess! Strong winds along with several inches of the horrid white stuff fell throughout the day yesterday prompting most neighborhoods to postpone Trick Or Treating. My neighborhood will be allowing kids to venture out tonight, so I’ll be over at my parents place handing out the candy to any of the kids brave enough to slug through the snow for Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Butterfingers, KitKat, Milk Duds, Candy Corn, Heath, and Twix bars. It’s very possible that I will have a few of them myself. After all, handing out treats can be hard work requiring ample energy!

What? No complaints this year concerning my choice for the Halloween babe of the day? Yer all gettin’ soft!

It’s Thursday. Brrr! The horrid white stuff crept in while I slept last night and covered everything in a menacing white slushy mess. We’re supposed to get more of it today which is why my neighborhood has officially postponed Trick or Treating to Friday.  Believe it or not, snow on Halloween is a rare thing to the Chicagoland area. In the last 140 years its happened only 6 times. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t been cold enough, just that it didn’t actually snow. I can remember freezing my ass off on many Halloweens as a kid. But it didn’t matter much because FREE CANDY!

Seeds! I gutted ‘ole Jack a few nights ago and made my first batch of pumpkin seeds. I didn’t get as much as I would’ve liked, so I’ll probably gut another pumpkin soon.

Remember, under no circumstances do you give out Circus Peanuts to the Trick or Treaters! They’re not edible, I say!

 
It’s Wednesday. I love it when Dads really get into Halloween like this guy who built his kids a miniature version of the van from the Dumb & Dumber film. Check out the video to see how he did it and how good it turned out!
