Halloween Decorations

I didn't get to decorate for the holidays last year since we were in the apartment and so I couldn't wait to start this year.  We've never decorated for Halloween before (other than pumpkins), but now that the kids are getting older and excited about the holiday, I wanted to do more.  After Halloween the last couple of years, I've bought clearance decorations at Target and a couple of local stores.  The boys and I couldn't wait any longer and put up most of what we have today.

These guys all light up at night:

We have ghost lights on the porch railing:

And pumpkins to light up the sidewalk:

We also have some decorations inside.  These pumpkins have lightbulbs and batteries in them:

I told Carter that they are decorations, not toys.  So now he calls them "decorators" instead of pumpkins.

This pumpkin has chalkboard paint on it so we get to change the drawings and writing on it all the time:

I stole this craft from Sarah.  When we visited her and her family last fall, she had one of these up that Mary Grace had done.  These are ones we made when we got back home last year:

The boys were so excited for it to get dark tonight so they could see all the outdoor decorations lit up.  We weren't disappointed - it looks really cute!
