Halloween (aka what to do with boxes after you move)

Zane and Isaac were so excited about being Tetris pieces for Halloween this year. We have a garage full of moving boxes that I've been meaning to sell on Craigslist that worked perfectly.
Isaac is red, Zane is blue. (note: if you are ever spray painting boxes, use primer first. It will save you a midnight run to the store.) I think they turned out cute.




In this photo you get the full effect of our scary spiders on the house.

Which brings me to celebrating my favorite holiday. I've included some pics of our house. I realize is quite amateur, but it's a good starting off point for future years in the new house. Having lived in a condo for years, I haven't had a yard or home to decorate for Halloween. We had so much fun putting it together this year.


Here's the candy all ready for trick-or-treaters. Also scary, bloody footprints in our entry.


No yard is complete without a spooky graveyard!



Most of our pumpkins rotted and were thrown away last week. Luckily, Isaac did one at church this week. Also- lit skull on black pillar, witches broom and rats. We have spider lights around the door, fishing line hanging down so you feel like you walk through webs and a spider descending right above the door. Rick came home later with dry ice so we had a bubbling witches cauldron as well.


Here we have the big spiders ready to attack. On the balcony are a skull strobe and spooky music.

I'm in costume and ready for the trick-or-treaters! Oh... there's the doorbell.
Happy Halloween everyone!
