This is the first year in almost 4 years that it actually feels like fall for us. The weather is very fall-like. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and it is beautiful! Craig and I love the holiday season and we get excited to decorate for every holiday. Every holiday we get one new decoration. Craig hopes to be Chevy Chase in the Christmas Vacation movie someday with all the lights on the outside of our house. Over time we have been collecting a good amount of halloween decorations as well. (Yes folks...we are "those" neighbors). This year, on our yearly outing to get some new decorations, Craig explained how he wanted to create a graveyard. He said, "no more cute decorations...Halloween is SCARY!!" We have this one section in our yard that is kind of hidden from the street and enclosed in....perfect for a spooky graveyard. We went to the store, found some neat yard pieces and went with it. I had to hold him back from buying the fog machine and the strobe light. We first have to see if we get a lot of trick or treaters. I really hope we do. In Houston we had so many trick-or-treaters that we had to run back to the store to get more candy...and we even had a line outside our house once! Now that's a good Halloween.
Here are some pics of the spooky graveyard. At night...there is a light that shines in the graveyard and the skeleton head lights up. Pretty spooky!
While Craig worked on the graveyard, I put up some webs and a scary hanging ghost!
Here's one of our decorations from Texas. Yep..."those neighbors."
My mom found this witch and sent it to me. She's so cool. It's hard to see in the picture but her costume is really neat!
