Halloween is here!

One of my favorite things about Halloween isn't the candy (150 calories in two tootsie rolls) the costumes (which seem to be getting sluttier each year, am I right?) or the haunted houses ($30 a ticket? no thanks!). It's the decorating! I absolutely LOVE pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and any kind of spooky decorations! I love driving by people's houses and seeing all the graveyards, ghosts, and cobwebs. The more decorations, the better!
Unfortunately, Steve has put a hold on my Halloween decorating spending, partly because we are taking a big trip this Christmas and need to save, but mostly because there are a total of 9 families in our neighborhood that have kids, most of which go to the Stake trunk-or-treat, which means that no one is around to enjoy our decorations. I was able to persuade him into letting me buy some pumpkins, and he even decorated them with me! They are now sitting in front of our house, and I can't help but giggle everytime I see them!
This year I decided to buy a bunch of the little mini $.89 pumpkins and draw faces on the, with black markings. They look like baby jack-o-lanterns and I think it's the cutest. They add a little bit of fun to the spookiness of the big pumpkins! Steve's originally had a knife sticking out of it's head, but we decided that might be a little too much. Also, my spaghetti brains and ketchup blood ideas were also vetoed. Maybe next year!

Mine is on the left, Steve's on the right.

I am excited for tomorrow! I doubt we will have many trick-or-treaters around, but we still have a big bowl of candy waiting for any who decide to show up!
