So, Lately...

We've been decorating for Halloween. This is my all time favorite holiday, I have always loved this time of year.This is a representation of Cris and I when we're dead. I think it's sweet, look at how we're holding bon-ey hands. I'm the one on the right, you can tell cuz my legs are crossed
all lady-like.

This is our cute new tablecloth from Grammy! We love it, it's perfectly spooky, and sparkley, all the things my kids and I love. Thank you Grammy, it's a perfect addition! Also, look out my windows, I don't know if you can see this, but it was actually snowing a little bit outside! Tink pratically had a heart attack, she has been so excited for snow.
This guy is one of my fav's, Nana and Pakkah got him for me a few years ago, and I love how creepy he is.
More of my favorites. I have always loved a good haunted house scene, and although this one is quite cute, it suits me (cuz I'm so cute-that's what I tell myself anyway). The pumpkin man on the left is Chester, he's lifting his head off his body, and his little base says, "I'm freakin out". This is a perfect Halloween decoration for any mother out there. Rambo got him for me one year when things were particularly crazy, and it just fit the year... I have to admit, I have a really hard time putting him away at the end of the season.
I had more pictures I wanted to post, but for some reason the blog gods are not on my side at the moment. I'll try again later, so for now, enjoy!

Hey! I love the Halloween decorations. Thanks for posting the pictures. You always know how to make your house so cute and homey. I think my Grimsley Mansion looks more realistic this year than in the past. I will have to post some pictures too.

Did you ever show your kids my most recent posts of me when I am younger in Japan and as a new mom with Camille? I always had fun seeing my parents and grandparents when they were young. I wish I was that skinny now with all of my joints working perfectly like they used to.

Your decorations are so cute! I put mine out and they all make noises or howl or something and the kids push the button all day so they get put up so they can't touch them. Sad. One day i will be able to leave them out and not get annoyed.
I love the skeletons though, they are my favorite too. You are such a lady.

I love Halloween too. You don't have a cactus pumpkin, cause you don't live in AZ silly! You have the luxury of getting a bit of snow now....we now get to sit outside and enjoy the cool weather for the next few months. Do you name your decor? I do, I guess cause I don't have children....so I will post, and introduce you to some of my favs! :) (I really am not crazy, as much as that last sentence may sound!)

Halloween is so not my holiday and I don't decorate at all. But...it always reminds me of you Nikki. I love your decorations and maybe you'll inspire me! I love the skeleton imitations of you two.

I love the Halloween decorations. Your house is so so cute. I too love Halloween. I love the pumpkin head guy kneeling down.

Those darn blog gods, messing with your life like that.

Your house looks darling and I too, want a Chester. All I have are piles of vegetables, waiting to be dried or canned and the cobwebs are real! Woo hoo. Getting all Halloweened up with the odd stray spider. Try not to be jealous.

I LOVE Halloween too!! And, oh my goodness, your house looks FABULOUS! I have decided a few things:

1. I need some cuter Halloween decorations--including my own Chester. Maybe when you find something cute--you should buy 2--one for you, one for me. lol

2. You need to come show me how to decorate with my new, cute decorations--that you picked out for me, of course. :)
