Mommy's gonna need a vacation from this.
My sister came over this morning to help put the tombstones up, even though it was a billion below zero. I'm exaggerating of course... it was only 40 below.
The rest of the graveyard went up as planned...
We here in Illinois get a kick out of making light of our incarcerated elected officials. We're a hoot in this state.
The witches are ready for their hot coals. They also requested Long John Silver's for dinner, but I have my limits.
Ramses (that's what we named the mummy) is ready to greet the trick-or-treaters...
I have enough candy to put someone in a coma.
I have just enough Halloween spirit to last the night.
I have hot cocoa and marshmallows ready for my little goblins after they're done going door to door.
And then, I have a fuzzy robe to retreat in when it's all done.
Thanks so much for your Halloween inspiration! I did a take on your witch cauldron and used the hot coal idea... and it may be my favorite decoration EVER. Definitely a keeper. I also convinced Husband to build some dilapidated fence sections to surround our "old" graveyard. Loving it! Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteYou rock! My kids and I were looking at your pictures and they said you have the coolest decorations! So, it's official. You deserve a break today, friend. You worked hard this month, for sure. Enjoy your comfy robe and hot chocolate. You've earned it! xo
ReplyDeleteWOW, you really went all out! Congrats on a job very well done! :) I bought some sweets in case any kids came, but they haven't so I guess I'd better eat it myself! :)
ReplyDeleteNever had a trick-or-treater. My parents house is two miles down a dark and scary lane, so that helps! :)
Funny tombstones, amazing mummy...and amazing mommy to do all that decorating for your kids and your community.
ReplyDeleteSure wish I could trick or treat at your house!
ReplyDeleteWow! your garden looks fab.
ReplyDeleteHope the kids had a great night.

Hope you had fun and stayed warm:)! You had a great month of Halloween goodness! Now take a break for a minute:).
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so good! I am in love with Ramses. I thought I had a lot of dead people in my yard but wow, how many gravestones do you have? Did you make them? I bought mine but I plan to make some next year, along with my mummy and wood witches of course. Check out my last Halloween thing. http://happylizard.blogspot.com/2012/11/giving-thanks.html
ReplyDeleteYour house looks amazing! We didn't do much at our house this year but I have lots of ideas for next year. Thank You for your 31 Days of Halloween post. I live in Illinois also and I especially love the Illinois Governor tombstone. :)
