Halloween Realization

October 6, 2024

We have a fun time at Halloween, at our house. Though we don’t have any kids of our own, I think we compensate for that by overloading everyone else’s kids with sugar once a year.

I really like Halloween as a holiday. And though I’ve been off and on with it, I’m happy that the last few years… we’ve really gone all-in for the event.

The last three years, we’ve built something custom for Halloween (four years if you count the social distance build of the Boo Chute in 2020).

The projects are fun, and often a stretch of our skills. It’s oftentimes a mad scramble to get done in time, but it’s always really fun to see our projects in action.

Sadly, I realized today that the time has come and gone for anything new. I haven’t been able to find anything exciting I wanted to build, and just looking at the remaining time… I don’t see enough days to actually put something new together.

So this year will likely be a repeat of something from a prior Halloween. Which is fine, since we’ve started to amass a small collection of carnival-like games that dispense candy.

Ah, procrastination. I guess there’s always next year.
