Halloween Decor

Fall is my favorite time of year.
Except for Disneyland time. :)

This is the time of year where my house is transformed.  I put away a lot of my regular home decor for 4 months and bring out the fall/Halloween or Christmas decorations.
Wahoo!   


Side table in the kitchen area

Entertainment center

Kitchen island centerpiece
I replaced the lemons with pumpkins and acorns.

Entry way

Another part of the entry

All lit up at night
(My camera has a nighttime setting, but I didn't realize that until just now as I was loading pictures on the computer.)


 I put a garland, orange lights, some pumpkins, etc. on my mantel







 My favorite part:
The front porch

This skeleton head is seriously scary for the little kids in the neighborhood.
It has sound effects (lightning, thunder, and an evil laugh) and flashing red lights in the eyes.






*Funny story:  My cute 6-year-old niece came over to my house a couple weeks ago.  She walked in and said, "Amy, how come you, um, always like decorate and change your decorations and it's, um, like only September?"

"Because I'm crazy, Katermelons!"  (That's my nickname for her.)

Then she laughed and nodded because it's true.

Happy Halloween!!!

Looks so fun and festive Amy! I love it! Wish we were neighbors and my kids could come and check out your spooky skeleton.

Also loved your previous post about fears. You and I have SO much in common!! It's scary. No pun intended.
