First post of the 2013 Season!!!

Pumpkin Abbey Cemetery Halloween 2012

Hello one and all!

So good to finally talk to everyone again, it seems like forever since we last chatted. My sisters and I arrived here at the abbey last week and boy did we have our hands full. Last year when we left Agnes fired the caretakers without telling us. Well, someone come in while we were gone and cleaned the place up! Can you imagine? The grass was cut, the windows washed, and all the cobwebs cleaned out! It was horrible!!! So, we've been busy making the place nice and gloomy again, just the way we like it. We have put Frankie in charge of grave digging and making sure things fall apart around the cemetery. Alice and Bernard are pulling double duty around the Abbey helping stock the cupboards with potions and stuff for the cauldron. Crow has been standing watch over the pumpkins all season and this year’s crop is sure to be simply magnificent! Who does that leave? Oh, yes; Cousin Grimm! He has been taking pictures of everything in sight. I am going to be turning part of the blog over to him, so he can post his pictures and update the biographies section, so keep your eyes open for updates there! SO EXCITING!!! This year promises to be a fantastic year and another great Halloween, thank you all so much for letting us be a part of your year!!!!!!!

I will drop by again soon, until then stay scary!

Elizabeth

We're almost ready, are you???

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

I just thought I’d drop in and let you all know I have a few surprises up my sleeve for our big night this year. And I've invited a special guest to help me with them since those goody goody sisters of mine won’t ever let me do anything evil. The last time I got to do anything about the little tick-or-treaters was when I turned those four little tikes into frogs a couple years back. Of course now the problem is they won’t leave. They hang around year after year expecting me to change them back! HA, FAT CHANCE!!! Anyway, just go ahead and try to get candy from me, YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!

All my love (NOT),
Agnes

Agnes here...

Hello, how are all you mortals out there in…oh, whatever! I just can’t be nice to you people, you make my skin crawl. Ordinarily, I like that, but you people are just too much for me to take. Elizabeth is working our fingers to the bone (literally) with this Halloween stuff since our trip to Kansas. There is a LOT to do and Cousin Grimm has been running around with that camera of his taking pictures of us working. I’m sure he will post some of them soon. As for me I’ve been working on a batch of spells to use on all you little rascals on Halloween night, come around and beg me for candy will you? I will show you (insert creepy cackle)!!! I included a picture with this post to show you what happened to some of last years trick-or-treaters. Hummm, maybe I will enjoy this whole thing after all. Come to think of it, I can’t wait to see you, if you are brave enough (another creepy cackle)! ~ Agnes

Just back from Greensburg Kansas...

Hey, Pandora witch here, just dropin' in to say “hola”!!!  We've had a groovy week of vacation and we are all rested and ready to dive into the home stretch of prep before our Halloween visit. While we were gone we went to visit friends in the Greensburg Kansas cemetery and had a smashing time. I noticed a human guy at a gravesite just crying his eyes out and saying over and over again “why did you die, oh, why did you have to die”. I felt so sorry for him, Agnes and I went over to try and help. I asked “was it your wife?” and he said no. “Was it a daughter or son” I continued. He only replied “no” each time I asked and continued sobbing and asking “why oh why?” I was so frustrated; finally I asked “well who was it for goodness sake”? Through his sobs he finally answered “It was none of those…it was my wife’s FIRST husband!” I just turned and walked away…Agnes turned him into a toad…A big shout out to everyone following our little blog from Greensburg, thanks so much and tell your friends about us!!! Talk to ya’ll later~Pandora

Stop bothering me now Elizabeth!!!

Hello, that goody-two-shoes sister of mine insists that I participate in this stupid project of hers...so here I am!!! Why she bothers with you mortals is beyond me. And to top it off she told me I had to be nice to you (the very idea makes me ill). I don’t know which sister is worse; the goody goody Elizabeth or the nit-wit Pandora. Did I tell you that one almost burnt down our scarecrow (pictured) the other day? Really! And don’t get me started on the pixies…I can’t stand to think about it anymore…I’m off to turn someone into a frog, just for fun…SO STAY OUT OF MY WAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU!!!~Agnes
