Tonight the boys and I broke out the Halloween decorations. With the chaos last year going through all the renovations we missed decorating. Today we were inspired by all the decorations around Mahone Bay and at the boy's school which is getting ready for Bay Boo this Saturday.
I lugged my two big boxes down from the attic to the delight of the boys. Believe it or not I've downsized! Navarre said "Wow Mom you have a lot of decorations. This is so cool!" After dinner we made Halloween paper chains and then placed the different ornaments around the house. The boys said we were "Spookyfi-ing" They soon started making up games with the big plastic spiders, rats and bats. I loved putting out my extra broom in the corner, my beautiful black crow, skull candles, autumn garland, skeletons and my favorite vintage pumpkin man. Vintage Halloween is a favorite of mine. Wish I could get some more.
Tomorrow I need to find some thread to hang the bats and I've promised the boys we will make Halloween cookies next week to take to school for their class parties. I must admit I'm stoked! It's been a while since I decorated Halloween cookies. Dare I even bring up the possibility of a Halloween Gingerbread House? My goodness I must be crazy.
