Those of you who know me or read my post last year about our first Halloween in America may remember I am not the worlds biggest fan of over the top Halloween decorations, they just mildly freak me out!
So here we are again and from exactly 1st October pumpkins started appearing on doorsteps, this progressed to fake snarling black cats and rats on mail boxes, to white life size 'ghosts' and skeletons hanging from trees and foot wide fake spiders climbing houses. My eldest daughter took the pictures whilst we did a drive by up our street...
Even our dog barks and growls at this house! |
This morning I had a shock as I opened the front door because on the front lawn was an armadillo. I had only seen them dead on the road after getting squashed by cars so I wrongly assumed they were as slow as hedgehogs, turns out they are quite quick on their feet so my photo is not quite as clear as I was hoping...maybe they freeze in the car headlights. The girls were delighted to watch it scurry across the garden!
This weekend will be exciting to me for two reasons, firstly we are going to see a world famous American rapper live in concert and also we'll be watching a world famous race, I'll update you all next time...
