Halloween is over and since there is nothing more depressing than Halloween decorations after October 31st, I’ve reverted back to a more normal blog theme.
In case you were wondering, you can resume your “harvest” decorations now. They are officially appropriate. If I see a Thanksgiving Tree, however, there will be violence.
Do have a theme:
Don’t offend your neighbors:
When is a lynching an appropriate decoration? The answer would be NEVER!
Do have fun:
Don’t go overboard:
Was there a closeout sale at the Tacky Inflatable Decorating Imporium?
Do get creative with your pumpkin carving:
Don’t puss out and just paint your pumpkins:
If your mommy won’t let you play with knives, then get a grown-up to help you.
Don’t be clueless as to what you are trying to copy actually looks like:
I think those are supposed to be spider webs, but it looks like snow or an unfortunate cotton candy accident.
I love October! The weather starts to cool down and I can start wearing layers and light sweaters and all the closed-toe shoes that have been sitting in my closet collecting dust. The leaves start showing their true colors and the air is crisper. My paleness becomes acceptable once again.
But, best of all is Halloween! When scary becomes main-stream. When it’s okay to be a little weird and decorate with skulls. I started putting out my Halloween decorations last Saturday. It’s fun going through the box and unearthing all the things I forgot I bought at the after Halloween sales last year. My living room is gradually becoming appropriately creepy. I don’t do the faux hay bales and the cute smiling pumpkins. Nuh, uh. I got the skeletons, the candles, the spiderwebs and tons of spiders.
I brought one spider to work to play with Ball. I think they are becoming fast friends.
