Pre-Halloween


Pre-Halloween fun at our house! Decorating, costume planning and making, scary movies at night, creepy Halloween music and sounds filling the air, all in preparation for the big event.



Westin posing with our scary witch. You can't tell in the picture but her cauldron is filled with eyeballs, severed fingers and rats. It's the little details that truly frighten us all :)







The kids posing next to my main attraction...the graveyard in the living room. We went with a graveyard theme this year to match the graveyard in the front yard. Braeden is doing a dead look :)









O come on now! The boys look like their hearts aren't into the pose!! Samantha, now that's my girl, she looks really scared.




Over the years we've aquired quite a collection of creepy decorations. Every year we add one more thing, this years purchase is the big, hairy spider in this picture. I love it!



The front yard is always a big hit with the neighborhood. Chad tries not to do it EVERY year but every year he is pestered into the tradition. We add the fog maker Halloween night and move our witch to an upstairs window with a strobe light on her and in another window a ghoul of some sort (we have many to chose from) also with a strobe. Add horrifying screams from the windows and we get little kids in tears at the front door...SUCCESS!!


HAPPY OCTOBER Y'All!!
