I Love Halloween

It's amazing how happy a $3 dollar Halloween decoration can make me. I'm obviously easily amused. I Love Halloween!

More New Loot!

We got this great ghost at Michael's.


We found these Halloween blocks for only $7.99 at Home Goods!




I found a new female pumpkin headed trick r' treater to go with my cat trick r' treater from last year. I can't remember if she was $12.99 or only $9.99, either way she was a steal at Home Goods.


Jen got a bunch of anti-bacterial hand gels and hand soaps from Bath and Body Works. The Jack-o-lantern is also a pumpkin scented hand soap. I really like the Spider's Web hand gel because it smells just like black licorice.




I need a second job, so I can buy more loot!

More Loot!

Stopped back by Old Time Pottery to see what else they'd put out since we were there and found a cool banner for the inside of our front door for only $4.


We bought this one as a gift for Jen's sister Sarah's new home. She's huge a cat lover, but I love her anyway (I'm just playing cat lovers).
I love cats too . . .

they're delicious . . .

Old Time Pottery

Stopped by Old Time Pottery on Friday to find them starting to stock their shelfs with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Fall decorations. So of course we spent a little moolah and procured the following goodies.

These are picture holders, they all have the little wire spirals on top. The skull guys is my favorite and will probably find a home on my study bookshelf all year long.







My wife bought these scarecrows because she thought they looked "Fall" enough to stay out from before Halloween through Thanksgiving, I'd have to agree with her.


These candle holders are pretty cool too, they have that rustic homemade look to them.




Jen loves her witches and she loves Halloween candy dishes.

First Signs

Stopped by Michael's today to see if they had anything good yet? We saw that the first signs of Halloween have arrived, but only a very limited selection of things so far. Shouldn't be much longer now.


Can you believe they want 49 bucks for those big pumpkins on the bottom right?!



Nothing too impressive yet, I almost feel like I've seen most of it before. . .

The Real Captain

Easy Like Sunday Morning

That's how I spent my Sunday

New And Improved

Here are some of my zombies that we recently did the repaint on, they were built last year, now with more character and personality. How did I make them you may ask, with a lot of Mountain Dew! That would be why I'm posting these pictures at 3:30 in the morning!

Repaints Of Last Years Kids

Last year right before Halloween we went on a Disney cruise (whose the brainiac who booked a cruise in October?!?) so my zombies barely got finished and I wasn't happy with their gray paint jobs. So I was going to paint them the beige that I used the first year, until I accidentally learned how to dry brush. These are my kids from last year with a fresh paint job. Now all they need is their character (hair, clothes, dirt, moss, etc.)





^I hate this guy ^ (The only thing good about him is his hand and the bone sticking out of his shoulder.)



Some of the new stuff with a first coat of paint lurking in the back there.

"These are not the pumpkin pots you're looking for. Move along..."

I went back and got a couple little Jack-o-lanterns for myself, and a couple for a little something else that we'll talk about later in September.

Sister Witches

Jen got her other two witches tonight. I love that she started collecting witches a couple of years ago, now she has her own little Halloween obsession too.

The power of three will set us free, The power of three will set us free, The power of three will set us free.
