HALLOWEEN IN THE HOOD-2008


Each year our church has sponsored a FALL FESTIVAL at the church the Sunday evening prior to Halloween. This year we didn't do that. We encouraged people to be in their neighborhoods and to use this time to meet the community and do something creative.

We set up two games in our driveway--one for smaller kids and one for larger kids. It wasn't hard--some plastic bowling pins and a some rings and we were in business.

I think we had close to 125 kids come by. One kid said "this is the coolest house!" One mother told her friend "We're doing this next year. We can do this in our neighborhood!" Win!

Here's the pictures and we're exhausted and will be sore tomorrow morning from bending over to set up the bowling pins. Oh well!

By the way, the blonde I'm kissing is my son! He went to his party as HANNAH MONTANA. I told him--"Son, you're one ugly girl!"

Unfreakinbelievable! Way to go Drakemeister...my neighborhood involvement fell apart this year - too much attention to Ike recovery around here. We still hung out in the hood and had fun, but my little one got scared and just now finally settled into good sleep!
Keep it in the Hood, Brutha...
