Yay! Make sure you include every last little detail, cause inquiring minds need to know. . .
I bet they do! Oops, it's Dept. 56. I put 59 earlier. Oh well, I almost put Dept. 69 but I knew THAT couldn't be right!
I will, I will!
Once I recover from my candy hangover as Callie calls it. LOL I'd definitely recommend taking the tour. It's worth it.

Hope you are all having a good weekend. Well, Halloween has come and gone. It was a good one. We had lots of kids come by trick or treating. Ruben did a great job of decorating the outside. He had fog machines, music, a graveyard, pumpkin patch, etc. Several people took pics and just about everyone said how cool it looked.
I spent all morning putting things from inside and outside back away and organizing the garage. I'm pooped! But it's done, all Halloween is gone and I now have my Thanksgiving stuff out. I don't have much of that though. Seems like it's hard to find nice Thanksgiving items. The stores all skip right to Christmas!
Speaking of which, I had an urge to watch Christmas With the Kranks today for some reason. LOL
Well, have a great weekend everyone. I will try to update asap.
That's the way to do it. But the stuff now for next Halloween. The stuff we have we've been collecting for awhile. We add an item or two after each Halloween.
I don't do much. Mine sounds a lot like yours. Simple things here and there. Nothing like Halloween at all. LOL
Sadly I don't have pics of our yard. Our camera won't do night shots. They either turn out blurry so you can't make out what it is, or you can use the flash so it's not blurry but then it's all whited out. I've never found a camera that does good night shots. Well, not one I could afford!!
We had one side of the driveway as a graveyard. That had the skeletons, and tombstones, the strobe lights and the fog machines. Some rats, giant spiders and spider webbing. It was the scary side. LOL
Then on the side near our doorway, we had a pumpkin patch. About 7 or 8 different pumpkins. Some pumpkins lights and lighted bats hung in the tree. The bushes were all covered in webbing. We had some skeleton in a cage hanging in the tree with a motor that rotates it.
There was a flying skeleton dude that flew from one side of the garage to the other. Ummmm, what else..... Oh, another fog machine on that side. I can't remember what else. Ruben is in charge of the outside. I stay away from that.
We also had music. Songs like Thriller, the X-Files theme, the Halloween theme, etc. Really fun Halloween songs. It was funny to watch some of the adults who looked to be about my age, because when the Thriller song would come on, they'd start to dance.
It was fun. Ruben went to buy another fog machine this morning. And who know what else!! LOL
I want to check and see if I can find some cute costumes left on sale. Now's the time to buy them when you can get them cheap!
I know! I kept grooving to it as well. Have you ever seen 13 Going on 30? It's such a CUTE movie and they do a whole Thriller dance scene in it. So funny.i'm picturing your yard in my head and it sounds cool. Oh and I would be one of those adults dancing to Thriller.
I never did end up getting sick but it took a few days to get out of my funk but I guess its over
...loved the ballagio pics....Anyway, they bought me the Twilight book! Finally I'll get to read it and see what all the fuss is about.
I just thought I'd share that since I know some of you reading along are Twilight fans.
"Team Jacob... because I prefer my men with a pulse, thank you."

As for Thanksgiving, it's all indoor stuff, except for a Welcome scarecrow type thing that hangs on my door. I have a display on my table with leaves, a mini hay bale, scarecrow, pumpkins, a turkey. And I have some candle holders and other ceramic things like......what are those called, the things with the fruit falling out of it? Cornicopia or something? LOL I have some of those.
I guess it's all stuff you could find at Michaels. It's more Fall really then Thanksgiving.

It took my DH 8 years to fix our mantle (was nothing but bricks) and he's a carpenter for a living so I feel your pain. For Christmas I have holly and then I bought gold wire deer with ornaments in them at Joann's. Really cute I might add.

That fireplace is nice. We have one too although why we need a fireplace in Las Vegas is beyond me. LOLWe just want a simple shelf above it so I'm hoping it won't be too expensive.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
That movie is cute. Whenever I see it on, I'll watch it. My husband will come in the room and go, "13 going on 30? Are you serious?" I like the Thriller part but I'm so picky that it bugs me that they don't do the dance exactly like Michael.
Has anyone else attempted to learn that dance? Or am I the only nerd?
Lynn, glad you like the Tink twists too! And that you are feeling better now.
Then I read what it said.

I've never tried to learn the dance, but each time I watch that scene I always think I'd like to!
How cool is that!
Boy, and I thought the Halloween napkins were impressive. This was a whole new level of holiday theming.
