Halloween Decorations!

We put up Halloween decorations! We have lots of decorations all over the house, but we put most of our energy into the mantle and the front yard. Check it out:

Mantle in the day time.

Mantle at night!

Front yard during the day. You definitely can't see very much...

Front yard at night! We put up pumpkin stakes along the walkway, plastic ghosts in the bush, orange lights around the window and post, lights that say "Happy Halloween" and fake cobwebs in the front window, and an orange bulb for our porch light!

Another fun thing that we did is replace one of our living room lights with a black light so that it looks spooky in the house for trick-or-treaters!

We were so excited about decorating that we started the first weekend in October....our neighbor's kids loved it though! They were really excited that we had put up a bunch of stuff. We've already been cruising Target looking at which Christmas lights we're going to buy. We're pretty much decided, but it took about 3-4 separate Target visits to decide. I think we're going to go with a red and white theme, and wrap the post like a candy cane. I'm so excited for Christmas already!!!
