This year's Halloween display. We all dressed up as scarecrows. Son hung on a frame holding still as kids came up for trick or treating and then he would move. Sometimes just turning his head, sometimes coming down off the frame and right near the edge of the sidewalk. We had a couple other "bodies" laying around the yard. It was fun hearing people looking at him and debating whether or not it was a real person or not. We had a couple really good scares. One kid's mother kept suggesting that it was a real person and he kept insisting it was fake. Then my son came off his post and the kid ran two houses down before stopping and coming back. His younger brother just stood and watched. Later a couple older kids were looking at my son and were arguing whether he was real or not. When my son moved they both freaked out a bit and one of them shouted triumphantly "I told you it was a person!"To top off the excellent outdoor activities, I had made a lovely beef stew with a crusty loaf of bread to warm us up from the inside.
