Halloween recap and fall decorations

The Handsome Husband felt like carving a pumpkin this year. He was a bit disappointed when I produced this fake white pumpkin for him to carve. But he did a great job and it fit in with my theme.

I didn't go overboard with decorations this year, I think i was just enough to give the porch a neglected, scary feeling. I went to my sister in laws birthday party the night before Halloween and she had done the same thing with the branches and crows only on a bigger scale. We hadn't even discussed it. Great minds think alike!

Of course the girls had many parties to go to. Katie was a Saloon Girl and Delaney was Mother Earth. I made Delaney's costume. Sewed every leaf on that bra by hand.

This was not one of Delaney's costumes, but out of fun she dressed up in her friends duck hunting stuff and I can't stop laughing every time I see it.

Katie: Saloon Girl, Tommy: Cowboy

Delaney: Pirate, Katie Dalmatian. I made her dress.

Tommy: Fireman, Katie: Dalmatian

Katie and Tommy going to the Theta Chi Date Party: Monster Mash.

You've probably seen these same scenarios from me, but I do try to mix up a little every year. The lighted pumpkins were purchased at Target.

Stacking the pumpkins seem to be big this year. I saw a lot of it in the magazines and on the home tour in Corona Del Mar. I bought the different kinds of pumpkins at my local grocery store and they were not expensive.

Happy Fall!
