I feel bad that I didn't even mention going to visit Terry's blog yesterday..... Sure hope you had a chance to because her little zipper pouch is really cute! And as for everyone else's projects so far..... well, I think they're all great!
If you've had a chance to make any of the projects and want to post the picture, Pat has set up a Flickr group for you to do just that. You can visit it here.
So, today's topic is decorations. And I hate to admit it, but in recent years, I haven't done any decorating for fall or even Thanksgiving. Many years ago, we used to go all out decorating the house with those fake spider webs and have a halloween costume party with our friends. We don't do that anymore, but a few days ago I was going out to my car and spotted this .....
.
I mean, really. Who need fake spider webs when you can have one that looks like this?! So there. I guess I have some halloween decorations this year after all. And I didn't even have to do it myself!
And since I don't have any pictures to share of my decorations, I thought I might share a few of when we would decorate ourselves or our kids for halloween.
Yes, both of these pictures are of Tom & I, MANY years ago. We were "scary" bikers one year and hippies the next.
And as for the kids, who can resist dressing them up in fun costumes?!
.
Poor Tyler got to be one of the few store bought costumes we had, which was a cow. He walked around for days "mooing", which is what he's doing in the picture. And then, he was trying to make his shepard costume look as scary as his brother's sea monster. Poor guy. I don't think it worked.
We never really did the scary costume thing, but you have to admit, they are original, though. It's not very often that someone dresses up as the Energizer Bunny, the Pillbury Dough Boy, or a Lego.
So I guess what I should really say is that we spent more time decorating our kids than we did decorating the house. But they were fun years!
After writing so much about fall this year, I thinking I need to do something to spruce up the house.
Maybe a pumpkin or two.
I think they would fit right in with that monster spiderweb we have.
What do you think?!
