it's just all about timing... we say things like "Okay, she just finished nursing... we have about 84 minutes til she's really needy again... GO"
I marvel at your initiative and determination.

okay, but I'm not gonna throw any money in it...




(it's really not that big of a deal... people always seem to find the time to do the things they enjoy doing, right? i just happen to have a sick penchant for outdoor decorations... wait til Christmas rolls around!!)

My wife decorated the outside as well, but I like the inside.

She has the tomb stones with names like Justin Toomed, etc.

Maybe if it stops raining I will try to take some pics and post them......Maybe.

Your decorations look great SKM. Props to you and everyone else who makes the time to get festive.

I have to admit that I am usually responsible for the outdoor lights around Christmas and last year I didn't quite make the time to do it. This year I am trying to find a company to hire and come and do it for me. No luck yet, but I won't let that stop me. I'm sure I will find some one and than it will just be a question of the cost. To understand why I would do this, just look at my signature.

JT and Char.... Those decorations are wonderful!!!

I usually just buy some big pumpkins to put near the stairway entrances around the house and one smaller one for my coffee table. A drunk tenant one year grabbed one of them and carved it up. She apologized later and replaced it.

It's funny to see the little bite marks in the outside pumpkins as time goes on. Not sure which animals are munchin' on them!! Squirrels or chipmunks, I suspect.

Great decorating!

We don't decorate the house at all for Hallowe'en! Just put one of those hanging ghostie things by the front door, and sometimes a carved pumpkin, to show we are giving out treats, that's it!
If we had kids we would likely do more.

We never did either last year. But we were away in Huatulco over xmas, that was why. Don will be getting his butt hounded onto that roof this year, lemme tell ya!

I am confused...aren't you the one who rides his bike for miles and miles every week?? How can you be too lazy to put your xmas lights up?

Wow...great decorations

I took some pics of the outside....nothing scary...just lots of pumpkins...my corn stalk and straw....which will stay up through Thanksgiving.... ...I just replace the jack-o-lanterns with scarecrows and more mums..... ...I did find a new decoration this year....a spider.... and the kids love the witch that has flown into the pole.

Inside I have some ceramic pumpkins and light up fiber optic ghosts and scarecrow and a Halloween tablecloth.

Marissa on the front porch



Notice the pumpkin cover over our porch light...I found these at a Halloween shop and thought they were really cool.... ...we have one over our light over the garage too.



All the pumpkins are yet to be carved...will do that this weekend and take some pics.



My one spooky decoration...



HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!
