September 23, 201411 yr Here is just some of what we have started. I continue putting things out until the actual holiday because in recent years some of our decorations have walked out of the yard. Skulls that hang out near the carnivorous plants.
September 23, 201411 yr Author I am near like 5 churches and I am sure that we are the topics of conversation. ;)
September 23, 201411 yr Oh ! Love this ! Pitcher Plant !!! LOVE everything ! Wish you were my neighbor. I have the sort of people who put out 'holly hobby' sort of crap. This is SO wrong for The Quarter ! I am sure they pray for me too even though I don't decorate 'outside'. You must be having a BLAST and the kids ! heaven ! thanks for pictures and look forward to more. Love, S
September 23, 201411 yr I agree....Iove the head on a stick... When mine were younger ....it wasn't a big thing here....shame...... Ya keep the pics coming.....
September 23, 201411 yr That is great and DD is not lying she is right smack in a bible belt community churches on every corner where she lives. I might have you stop by to decorate my house but you better bring bagels too! I look forward to more pics DD!
September 23, 201411 yr Mr DD's fun-kin (fake pumpkin) carving. Jack and Sally. How does this work DD? A fake pumpkin that you can still carve?!
September 24, 201411 yr Author They are the fake pumpkins that you find in craft stores. You carve into the foam and it lasts forever as opposed to a few days/weeks. Mr. DD does detailed characters on the pumpkins which sucks when they rot so we picked up a bunch of the fun-kins one year after Halloween for 75% off and have been carving those. :D
September 24, 201411 yr Author We can hit all the ghostie houses And the graveyard. Bonaventure is amazing.

September 24, 201411 yr We bought tickets for Mickeys Not So Scarey Halloween Party for Tuesday before. Hope to scare the shit out of a kid or two tho
September 24, 201411 yr Author We bought tickets for Mickeys Not So Scarey Halloween Party for Tuesday before. Hope to scare the shit out of a kid or two tho Haha! That's what I do. I love how they reluctantly come up to ring the doorbell.
September 24, 201411 yr Author He did a really great carving!!! I looked, and we cat get them here... Will have to just carve some real ones instead :) That stinks because they are worth it. Even full price they are about as much as a real pumpkin and all of the carving work is saved as long as you take care of it. We started growing our own pumpkins for eating but they got attacked by bugs :( Anyway here is one that he is doing for me. Our dating anniversary is Halloween... Can you see what it is?
September 24, 201411 yr One year, my Dad dressed as Scarecrow Sitting on Porch and when kids would come up to ring doorbell he would leap to his feet scaring the hell out of them. He got all the candy they dropped in a hurry. Kids kinda never came around after that. Poor Mother was furious. :D

Hershells farm in TWD? He is very talented! Tasha wants to grow pumpkins for next Halloween, so I'm going to give it a go :)
September 24, 201411 yr Author Yes! My favorite shot, scene wise, I just love the image of the barn burning in the darkness with the silhouettes of the walkers. Isn't he? I get so jealous, I can't even draw a stick figure. We are going to try again next year too.
September 24, 201411 yr Ooooohhhh, I'm so excited to do halloween where they actually do it!! Here is so lame. All the penny pinching grumps with their Meh attitude! When I ran the pub, we did a massive event and were literally mobbed with parents trying to do something with their kids. My girls are gonna be minions and I don't know what we're doing but it's gonna be AWESOME....and breath :) So, lovin the decs DD. Those carve ya own pumpkins are great, real pumpkins are so tough and go off so quickly. Mouldy pumpkins every year :( Do your kids not get scared by the decs? My pansy kid wouldn't let me put up the severed feet and hands last year :( Can't wait to see it all done. You are very cool my friend! xx
