Week of preperations for Halloween
The beef BBQ/sloppy Joe dinner is made and ready to reheat in the crock pot Friday.
Today G and I are going to pick up a couple of pumpkins to do some silly carvings–not the usual fancy stuff this year. I’ll do the carving Thursday night.
Wednesday I’ll do some last minute cleaning and get the house ready for Friday night. DH has picked out the Halloween movie to play–I don’t ask I wait and see.
I am undecided as to my costume this year. It might be what I wore last year, or I might do a Zombie costume. It depends on the weather, the Zombie outfit will be much warmer…after all it’s easy to layer clothes in that costume.
Until tomorrow…Boo Y’all.
Driving DH crazy, one day at a time
I managed to drive DH crazy most of the evening last evening. My props arrived in the afternoon and I couldn’t resist playing with them…a lot.
Of course, he played with them too, but he’d never admit to it.
Getting spooky
Only a few of the props that we have set up. My batteries died before I could get the rest of the pictures taken. I’ll take more when the new prop arrives.
We’ve gone batty around here
At least, we’re starting to. I finally got around to dragging the first several Halloween decorations down from the attic. The front porch is beginning to seem more Halloween festive with the orange and purple lights in black garland.
The spooky placemats are on the table and the spider goblets are ready for the several Vampyre Wines and Zombie Zin I bought yesterday.
I have to take my Japanese tea set upstairs and bring down the spider candlelabra to replace the tea set on the center of the table.
Gargoyles, spiders, skeletons, and ghoulish things are beginning to wander into the house decor. The dogs have stopped barking at the haunted mirror after two days.
Yes, we’re getting batty…
We might not have these this year…
A very poor pumpkin crop this year may prevent G and I from doing our usual fancy carves. So far the harvest looks bleak.
