I love Halloween and I do have quite a few decorative Halloween items, but I haven't had time to put them all up this year. In fact, I'm thinking of purging a few things.

All I put out were some window clings, a witch that hangs on my front door, a few ceramic witches, and my little Halloween village. All I have outside is the pumpkin my dd got at the pumpkin patch.

My neighbor on the street behind me has all kinds of Halloween stuff in her yard. She has an inflatable, some kind of monster that looks like it's coming up from a grave, and her front porch is decorated like a haunted house. A few of my neighbors have decorated Halloween trees in their front yards.

I figure our's is scarey enough. We need to really paint our house this coming year and well i haven't been keeping up with the dusting off the big spider webs on the porch, i think i still have a pair of summer sandals out there that are now entrapped in a large web and the front step carpeting is growing moss. Count in the fact that dh and i are both handing out candy this year, that should be enough to scare kids off! lol

did!
I reallu enjoy Halloween, mostly because my ds loves it.
I put pumpkin lights all around my archway.
Also, we put tombstones and a skeleton's bones buried in the ground.
Windsocks on the trees and spiderwebs on the bushes.
I found some really neat pumpkin lantern covers @ the $.99 store so I put those on too.
We have a jack o' lantern outside w/ Halloween lights inside of it.
Halloween's extra neat for us this year!

We have an inflatable Tigger in the yard that the kids love. We also have orange and purple lights around our columns out front. We also have pumpkin lights on our railings. Inside we have some Halloween lights on the mantle and a plug in pumpkin. We also have a pirate/skeleton that sings KC & The Sunshine Band "Get Down Tonight" as his head falls off. (My boys fell in love with it at Walgreens when the boys were YOUNG - 2-3 and 4-5 - and it would crack me up everytime we go to the store so I bought it on clearance. Best $7.50 ever spent! They still love it and dance around to it.)

We had a pumpking that ds carved for Cub Scouts last week, but it rotted already so we will get another this weekend to carve.

We have! Everyone on our street has a light post beside their driveway, and we all have pumpkins we put over them for halloween. We also put a scarecrow on the post, and in front we have another light post and changed the bulb to an orange one, so it looks like a big pumpkin. I also have a scarecrow/broom thingy hanging on the front door, and a total of 8 pumpkins outside.

Not really. I have a small Halloween wreath on the front door. That is it right now. We do have 5 pumpkins in the house right now that will go on the steps once we carve them.

I alway decorate for Halloween. I know it sounds crazy but I don't put most of the decorations up until Halloween day. I like to surprise the kids. Right now, I have pumpkins outside. I will carve them a couple days before Halloween and light them Halloween night. I am working on a new decorating plan for this year (I have done the same thing the past 3 years). I hope it works, because it will look sooooo cool if it does. I will post a pic if it comes out as planned.
