The storm has finally moved out of our area. We had 6 inches of rain and high winds. Needless to say our Halloween display suffered some damage in the storm. Today is sunny and warm so we'll straighten out the clowns and witches, anchor the black plastic in the Room of Doom, stand up the tombstones, etc. We should know by now that every year we have one of these storms right before Halloween. Usually they're more wind than rain, but they always cause us extra work.

We bought a bubble machine on sale for 1/2 price last year year. The bubble machine is a big hit with the kids. Each bubble is filled with smoke so when the bubble pops it leaves a smoke ring! The kids run around like little Indians popping bubbles.

This year we bought a laser light at Spirit Halloween. We tried using it outdoors, the light covered the house and the trees behind the house! The effect was interesting but not a big WOW. Put it in the Room of Doom and it's so cool! Looks like green bugs crawling all over everything. Here's my finished chandelier  with the laser light on it - pretty cool.
