Why choose Halloween when there are so many other reasons?

Like father, like son. Or, maybe, I'm starting to think "like great-grandfather, like great-grandson".

Like serial killer, like victim.

How you gonna hold a blade with that arthritis?

I started my decorating two weekends ago. I've gotten a lot done, but still have more to go. Even when everything was at the stage it was when I first started, my friend and her daughter thought I was done. I told them that what they were seeing was just the tip of the iceberg. I love how my formal living room is looking so far this year. I like to go with a black/white theme for that room, but this year I decided to get out the all-white, pre-lit Christmas tree. I decorated it with black tinsel garland and a bunch of different black ornaments and skeletons. I made some cute spiders out of styrofoam balls that I painted black and used pipe cleaners for the legs. Then I bought two tabletop-sized black Christmas trees for the mantle and decorated them with frosted white Christmas lights. Next will be the black stockings that I'm going to make. I can't wait until it's all finished!

Didn't get anything out today. Man, where does the time go?

I need a few more hours in the day!

I worked on my tree thing that is going on my porch. I will post pix when I am finished. Have a few things out and many boxes pulled out but not empty.

I'm going to start to get everything out of the barn and the shed to put everything up in the house on the first day of October.... this Friday! I will not put outside until next week or so.

I brought up all the fencing and staged it at the side of the house, and all the u-posts and tombstones from the shed. Cut the grass in the front yard for the last time till November. They're calling for five inches of rain tomorrow, but Friday, The Big Day, looks like it'll be clear, so I'm getting psyched!!

I have not set foot in a 'real' Halloween store yet, but this weekend looks promising.

The hot weather is supposed to break so I'm looking forward to fall weather.

I havn't really started yet, but thats because theres not much to do. my indoor decorations stay up all year round and I havn't gotten any new ones to add yet. and my outdoor stuff I have to wait to put up,
but when I do decorate, i'm making a graveyard in the garden, pumpkins lining the stairs and I'm enclosing my balcony with chicken wire and cobwebs to make a tunnel of doom
very excited, I've already sketched plans and everything

I don't usually do anything at home. I head out to trick of treat with my friends or go to a party somewhere else. The times I do do stuff at my house, I just sit on my porch in a long black trench coat, a skull mask, and a sword on my lap. I try and pull the whole "Is that a mannequin?" trick.

All of my stuffs are in the living room, and some are still in the other room up the stairs. I guess I am going to put some of them out on the front porch next week, but some others I have to keep them in the house because they're pretty expensive so I won't put them out after two weeks. I have 3 fake jack o lanterns, 2 are sitting on the windows up the stairs and 1 is sitting on the window in the living room. I will get a huge pumpkin in about 3 weeks. I hope I will get two or more pumpkins.
