Happy Halloween!

I Love Halloween! Brian says its my favorite, but Christmas really is. He says I go over the top for Halloween so I like it better - not true. But it is up there! Below are the jack-O-lantern huricanes I make every year. Its just any size glass jar with tissue paper over top.



My Martha Stewart shout out! The ghost are cheescloth and starch. I taught how to make them for an activity in church this year. Both of those have been grabbed and squashed by Gwen. They reshape pretty well! Brian thinks the bloody hands are too much, but he also doesn't like the cockroach stickers I have all over one of our doors (not pictured). He's a little whimpy about Halloween!



My most recent addition is the witch's broom on the table. I hadn't hung it yet.



Brian painted the tombstones for me last year. Also not pictured is the ragged black clothe that I switched my curtains out for.



In the kitchen above the cabinets. 



Some other additions: I have a giant ghost in the window just a giant paper cut in a swooping shape with a standard ghost face on it. Also the ice cubes my mom bought for me have gummy eyeballs, maggots, spiders, worms frozen inside them. Brian thinks those are disgusting too. Tracy handled them just fine; he even ate his eyeball. Tim tried to be tough but couldn't handle the grossness - did not eat his eyeball. Naomi was lucky enough to get the maggots and loved playing with them throughout dinner. 

What a fun time! I cannot wait to be the house with the crazy woman who over decorates the yard every year. I've already got a portfolio of ideas! So fun!
