Welcoming the Trick-or-Treaters

Jeanne came by on Saturday and we laughed all morning while decorating the front porch for Halloween.


This year, instead of a giant spider as our main feature, we decided to create a monster face using craft paper, wrapping paper, printer paper, crepe paper streamers, and giant google eyes. The small purple bats are a new addition to the porch, too.


We covered our "twirler" with a paper towel and cheese cloth, then added goodle eyes on springs to make the ghost a little scarier. He twists in the wind.


Our black cat flying on a broomstick made a reappearance, along with the big black bats. This year, a small purple bat held on to the broom tail as a stowaway.


The tablescape is full of pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, along with a skull brewing in the kettle. The
jack-o-lantern on the right will be lit on Halloween night.


On the right side of the door, the wreath made of black plastic straws returns with its spiders.


Our new skeleton bones wreath hangs on the door's left.


One of my favorite features this year is our new mangy cat guarding the door. He's cut from craft felt and looks ready to scratch any kid who gets too close.


I do believe we're ready!
