Happy Halloween!

I have always enjoyed decorating for Halloween. My first year I created a graveyard by digging holes in my front yard, making crosses for grave markers and building an old rickety fence. My husband even enjoyed rigging up a spider that fell down whenever the door was opened and the kids loved it. Last year I created lots of spider webs, bats and witch themed stuff around the entryway (inside and out). This year I stuck to two scarecrows outside, a glowing casper and created a theme on my corner niche. I would have to say my decorating has been toned down since I had my two girls. I now really enjoy the fun of decorating Halloween cookies (wished I didn't have to clean up), carving the pumpkins and doing a ton of crafts with the girls.

The next huge excitement was taking them trick or treating tonight. The girls were both dressed in five minutes, bags in hand and ready to go. We went around the block once and enjoyed spending family time at home while handing out candy.

Here are just a few pictures of our Halloween.
