Halloween 2008

By Trisha
For the most part, Halloween was quiet. Most of the houses on our cul-de-sac were dark. We didn't get many trick-or-treaters this year, so my loot will be saved for next years little ghouls.
This was the decor outside. We have the big blow up pumpkin that a witch flew into and got stuck in. We had my eyeball lights in the window, the pumpkins on the doorstep and some little metal buckets on small tables opposite the door. These little buckets are painted and "carved" to look like a pumpkin, bat, ghost and Frankenstein. I put little tea lights in them and they are just adorable. In the kitchen I have four Halloween hot pads hung here and there (not pictured).



The Halloween loot we passed out instead of candy. There were necklaces, pencils, foam bracelets, airplane flyers, buttons, temporary tattoos, felt crown craft kits, straws, sunglasses, mini coloring books and yo-yos.

We enjoyed apples between trick-or-treaters, which were sparse this year. Jarom enjoys using my corer/peeler/slicer from Pampered Chef. We love fall because we can really enjoy fresh, crisp, juicy apples by the dozens.

    Your yard is so festive...we skipped the neighborhood trick-or-treating and went to the businsesses in Marysville and then to a trunk-or-treat. There are so many dark houses around here too. Rylie and Austin had fun...which is what is important!
