We started early on Halloween morn. The kids love to be part of the action. This year, we bought a pop-up canopy for the haunted house because the 2-by-4's of years past finally bit the dust. It sure made set-up faster. Although, the box promises "7 seconds to set up." As Tim put it, "This sure took more than 7 seconds." So profound...
My dad and Cynthia also came to help with everything.
Ella is really into "scaring" people right now. So, she seized this amazing opportunity to surprise her brother...I mean: when else do you have a cemetery right in your front yard??
PopPop was put in charge of carving the pumpkin. He and Ella (with a little help) created a magnificent jack-o-lantern. Although I forgot to take a picture of it...you'll just have to take my word for it.
Seth wanted nothing to do with the guts from the pumpkin.
This is the final set-up...in the daylight.
My cemetery. I am very proud of it this year. Of course, it was much more impressive in the dark.
Thought I'd add some nighttime shots....
Yes...that is the Texas game playing on the garage door!
And now....for the COSTUMES!
Isn't he an intimidating "Godfather" with that cute, little monkey??!
And, just because we're a little twisted....these are some pics we took with one of our newest decorations.
Sunday, November 1, 10:42am. We joined these other losers in the line at the Halloween store. What??? Everything was 50% off!! Don't judge us.
You'll have to wait til next year to see our haul.....
