I'm not really sure what we're doing this year. I think my mom and I are going to decorate either today or tomorrow, though.
Last year, we had one of those big inflatables that my mom calls the Ghostly Trio in one part of the yard, pumpkin lights on stakes lining the walkway from the sidewalk to the porch, pumpkins on the porch, and these old old old homemade ghosts hanging from the porch ceiling. My parents made the ghosts when they first got married and didn't have the money for store-bought decorations (my brother's birthday is 10/29 and Mom was pregnant with him when they got married, so that Halloween and the next were kind of cheap). They're old bedsheets with faces drawn on them, pillow stuffing from old pillows, and the head tied off with fishing line with the rest hanging down. We also make things in the backyard, since part of our yard is visible from the porch. A few years ago, we made up a Friday the 13th-esque campsite with an old pup tent, a pair of bloodstained thrift store jeans stuffed with newspaper and old boots at the feet, a styrofoam cooler, a fake hand, and some red-tinted water in the cooler.
We love Halloween
