Our ScArY House and Grosgrain

I think I've finally finished getting our Halloween decorations up. Usually I have then all up by October 1st--but there has been so much going on around here, it kept getting delayed. So I've kind of been doing it here and there--and I think it's finally scary enough!

Also, we went to one of those temporary Halloween stores today and I added to my zombie/creepy collection a little bit more. Actually, we went to the Halloween store twice today--not because I wanted to, but because when we got home, Andy discovered the the gorilla costume I had just bought for him was minus a face, hand and foot. I was NOT happy! Especially because when we were checking out (the first time) I told the checkout lady I wanted to make sure the whole costume was there and she looked at the bag and told me it was all one piece. Grrrrrrr!

Anyway, we're well-stocked in zombies and severed heads and skeletal creeps. Here are some pics of what we've created:

This is our yard. I like this pic because the sunlight is making all these ghostly images in our "graveyard." Oh, and see that "body" hanging off the house at the top? That something the kids rigged up!

Here's me and my new hair and my zombie friend:



Pickle loves the zombie! Here she is hugging him:

And inside--this is the set-up on the dining room table:
Here is another angle so you can see the evil dolls seated at the table:There's more--I'm not even showing you my skeleton nun or the black-lit Hannibal Lecter-type thing Don set up in the living room last night! I'll save that for later!
