Green Goon

Added a green light for the Goon tonight.
Felt he needed a little sassing up, beings there are only two houses with Halloween decorations on our entire block (and we're one of them).

The Goon Lives

We set up the scarecrow today.
It was great to see some plastic jackos in windows and a few lawns with fake tombstones already. 

The Goon

Believe it or not, I feel like October 2nd is still too early to put out The Goon (as it was dubbed by a small child in the neighborhood last year).

I'm thinking this coming weekend...

I'll leave him up until Halloween, and then he'll be replaced with something new for the big night.

Where's The Goon?!

Taking a break from setting up.  Going really well.  Feels a little like a warm Halloween.  Overcast with a slight breeze.  Should be great for my chilled fog tonight.

The neighbors stopped down with their children to see The Goon...I heard "OH NO!!! WHERE'S THE GOON?!!"

I had to explain that The Goon transformed for Halloween...the kids seemed to buy it.  Super nice people...lots of laughs.  They are stopping over tonight for some candy.  As well as some other neighbors I talked to today.

Halloween's a little early this year.

The Goon

Finally stuck a light in this guy. 
Every day around sunset, a family from around the corner brings their two small children to look at the scarecrow.  They were walking away two nights ago as I was going out to turn his light on (for the first time).  They came running back saying "Look! The Goon lights up!"  They told me they've been calling him The Goon.

I kinda love that.

And I think he's now The Goon.
