Halloween Decorations
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
Here it is just Sept. 07th and we are already starting to pull out the indoor Halloween decor! We have a huge desk system set up here that's shaped like a big "O" with a section missing to enter through. We are going to set up our LeMax Halloween village all the way around the whole top of the office area since the top of the desks all the way around. It's a big space and we have a ton of pieces so we should be able to cover most of the top. We have also decided to leave it up year round. More dusting but hey, it'll look great and this is where we are most of the time so why not leave it out to enjoy all year long?
We now have a permanent Scarecrow in our front yard, after we started doing a "Raising of the Scarecrow" ritual but we decided to leave him up this past year and he needs some work. A new hat since the old one faded in the desert sun. And his stuffing needs repacking and refilling after last winter's rain. But he still looks pretty cool hanging up there year round like he's protecting our yard and home.
We have so many boxes of Halloween decorations, I don't know what all we'll put up yet but we've decided to put them up in September and leave them up until Thanksgiving so we can enjoy them a bit more. We found a huge box filled with Halloween lights, orange, purple, candy corn colored. We may put some up on the outside of the house this year and inside as well. We always keep a black lace mantel curtain on our fireplace. It has spiders and web shapes woven into it. Then we put up a string of LED lit pumpkins and bats but the bats burned out within a week. Have to look for a new set of those!
Anyway, that's it so far, we'll keep you up-dated with the decorating for Halloween 2011 as it goes up!
