Happy Halloween!

Thank you to Menards for having a sale on all of the Halloween decor the day before Halloween so I could afford to buy enough stuff to finish off our yard!  It ended up being a smashing success!!

Our neighbors now know we are weirdos, but hey, at least they know what kind of weirdos we are! 

Two things I learned this year: 

  • Dressing up is fun, but unless you're attending a Halloween party, don't worry about putting on makeup or doing anything fancy, because the children who come to your house only want candy and do not give a pile of leaves what you look like.  This took a LOT of pressure off of me!  Every year I dress up super fancy, but this year I decided to just throw on a witchy shirt and a witch hat and voila!  Instant costume!
  • It's okay to wait until the last minute to get everything done.  We didn't have a choice this year, as it was windy AS FUCK all week, as well as raining and whatnot.  Then I went to Menards on Sunday and bam!  All the outside decorations I could have ever wanted!  On sale, for 40% off! Our trick or treating started at 5:30, and we were done at 5:15, and I still had to take a shower! hahaha!  And it all worked out as the best Halloween ever!
The last time we did up the yard in a grand way, only ONE family showed up to trick or treat!  AND we used to live on a busy street!!  It was horrible.  This year was great!  Tons of kids showed up and a few of them loved our yard (most just looked down and grabbed the candy and ran LOL).  

We made several scarecrow/dummies, one of which is still in our tree and looks creepy as fuck (he's wearing a mask, so it looks like some kind of creep in a mask sitting all lifeless in there).  One was manning our projector which showed a Halloween YouTube video (this one) on our garage door that we connected to my bluetooth speaker that played the music along with the video.  It was also holding a monster baby that I painted from a doll that I got at a resale shop.  We had glowing eyes staked into the ground, as well as two pallets with red lights under it with skeleton hands sticking up, as though they were stuck in some dungeon underground.  We made a standing scarecrow made from PVC pipes that I got on Sunday.  You can find the instructions here.  We had all our lights replaced with lights that look like fire and some other odds and ends all over the place.  The fog machine didn't work, so we didn't use that, but everything else worked great and it was pretty badass.  

I was in TONS of pain after all that work, but it was worth it.  

I even went in and grabbed my mom to show her what we did and she was overjoyed.  Mostly because she got candy, but still, she liked our decor too LOL 

Now, onto making garage chicken coops for our chickens.  Ugh.  Yay.
