The kids pumpkins

The kids had to have these little pumpkin kits from Target the other day. Yoda for Darby and Buzz for Bodie. I picked up some small pumpkins tonight while grocery shopping so we could get a head start on our pumpkin decorating!!!!

Aren't they so cute!

The best kind of carving you can do! Stick some arms & legs in the pumpkin! I love that there was nothing for me to clean up.

Scrap wood turned sign....

While Matt sleeps all day after working night shift, I feel like the kids and I are tip toeing around all weekend to find something to do. When I was taking down the garbage this morning, I decided to make my Halloween sign. Here it is! I saw this idea on Pinterest also (Thanks to whoever created that website...it's the bomb)! On Pinterest they painted this saying on the kick plate of 3 stairs of a front porch. Since I don't have but one step I tweeked it.

I love that it didn't cost one dime to make! I used left over grey and green paint from rooms that I repainted. The board was from on old pallet that is WAY TO BIG to even use.

Fall is in the air & house...

So we moved in March of this year to the house we had been eyeing for years. We tried to sell our house about 4 years ago and had put a contract on it but we were beat out (pouting...). But here we are 4 1/2 years later and our dream came true. We've been here 6 months and are enjoying it so much. This is the first picture I've taken of the outside. I can't wait to decorate for Christmas this year!!!!! Darby and I have only stuck a couple pumpkin and owl Halloween signs in the yard, more to come. It's still a little hot for pumpkins on the porch here in Alabama!

Mmmmmmm...taste like a Payday!
A pinterest project on display! I love their feet prints turned into ghosts! The pumpkin was also my mom's.
Darby being silly and using some of the decor as accessories! This was my mom's and I always loved it as a child...so yes it comes out each year!
I hung my pumpkin paper lantern from the light fixture...I figured 'why not?'...my kids love it!
So I haven't found a table that I like to use in the hall, therefore my Halloween display is on the dining room table just to left left of the foyer.
