Breakfast anyone?

Guess what is coming back for a short time frame?

No, not bell bottoms.

Nope, not crocheted toilet paper covers.

Give up?

General Mills monster-themed breakfast cereals (officially referred to collectively as the Cereal Monsters) are five current and formerly distributed breakfast cereal brands in North America.

The series includes Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry, and the formerly discontinued Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy. Typically, the first three listed are only available around Halloween and the last two haven't seen production in years.

According to Wikipedia: In August 2013, it was revealed on Dinosaur Dracula that for the first time in history, General Mills was releasing all five monster cereals (including the long discontinued Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy) for purchase during the Halloween season.

Additionally, special retro edition boxes of all five cereals with their original packaging art would be sold exclusively at Target.


This was the packaging back in the '70s

And for those who will be purchasing the new boxes, here is the view:

I don't eat sugary cereal anymore but I still want to get one of each so that I can have the boxes for our Halloween Home.  Way to go General Mills!  Bring back the Monsters!

 

It begins...

It has been decided that Halloween season officially begins on September 1 and lasts until 11:59 p.m., October 31. There is far too much to see, do, taste, touch, listen to, scare, hide and/or run from to contain within the 31 available days in October. Thank you for your cooperation.

You can see me?

Next time a stranger talks to me when I’m alone I’ll look at them shocked and just whisper quietly, “You can see me?”

Alarm clocks...

I've always been an early riser and for most days I don't need an alarm, however there are some people who might need an alarm like this... "Alarm clocks should come with sounds like “tiny doll feet scampering into the closet” because I AM NOT HITTING SNOOZE WHEN I HEAR THAT."

What a fabulous night!

Mother Nature spooked us a bit ... she started to sprinkle a few drops about 5pm last night so up went the blue tent to keep the coffin dry. We had a huge turnout of kids and teens and adults. So many had seen the local newspaper article about our Halloween Home and they had to come out to see it in person. Lots of pictures were taken with the Predator and there were some (young and old) who freaked out a bit at the menacing costume. All in all a great night.

A few photos from my phone as we got ready to greet the Trick or Treaters:

And finally, some photos of the Predator

Happy Halloween!

 

Today is the THE DAY!

YIPPEE!!!  After 364 days of waiting and planning and ideas and and and... it's finally HALLOWWEEN!!  The only sucky thing about today is that I have to work.  I really need to re-think my career choice - as a bookkeeper, month end is just a bear and doesn't go away on the most special day of the year.  Luckily my hours are good and I am a 3 minute drive from home so I will have time to help with 'the costume' which everyone is talking about as well as make sure our candy stash is ready to go.  I'm dressing up too (of course) but my costume only takes a few minutes to put on. 

For those in the local area, if you read the Recorder & Times you may find us inside.  We were interviewed and photographed and hopefully the pics came out ok.  We'll be buying a few issues today if the spread looks good in print LOL

Display your jack-o-lanterns, grab the candy dish and turn on your porch light so the little goblins and princesses can enjoy the evening going from door to door.  To those who will be out and about tonight, be safe and enjoy the fun!  

Happy Halloween!
