Halloween Decorating Home Decor Outside Decor

 

Halloween Decorating Home Decor Outside Decor

Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! It’s October, some leaves are changing, weather is undecided about being hot or cold, seasons are happening, and right now I am focused with Halloween. I have done some decorating inside the house for the season. I do a lot of fall decor that can also be used for Halloween time too. Most of it can stay out until the house is prepared for Christmas time. 

Today son and I worked on getting the outside decorations done for Halloween. For all we do it takes time. Love doing it to watch and listen to kids, and adults with their reactions, driving by, and so on. Still 1 of my favorite times of the year to enjoy.

We have spent money for decorations, and trying to make things a little different every year. Ever since we have moved in we have been known as the spooky house. So, each year we try to do what the kids enjoy. This year I bought 5 more skeletons making a total of 11. I also bought the 7 foot skeleton too. We have costumes from the past 1-2 years with the masks too. This year we put the costumes on 5 of the skeletons. We have IT, Michael, Georgie, Scream, and some pig face mask from last year. As of this afternoon the skeletons were dressed, and put outside with a metal stake support. We also put up a cob web with a spider on it, and we hung a wrapped body form on it too. In our big bay window we have an animated woman who is holding a head in her hands. On each side of her is a 3 stack of plastic pumpkins that light up. Decorative dome lights have been added outside too. Red one is facing towards spot the cemetery will be at tomorrow. A light faces up to the lady in the window. The other light is showing ITs face on the wall of the house where IT is standing in one of our bushes.






All the pictures above are preparations of the characters being completed, and ready to be put outside. Once the graveyard, big skeleton, tombstones among bushes, and more skeletons are added to the front porch we should have the outside complete. That should be done in 1-2 more days. We are a little behind from our normal decorating schedules, but it is soon completed. 

Sadly, over time it has been noticed that not many people decorate for Halloween anymore. The spirit of the Holidays has been missing. It’s nice to see some still do things, and we enjoy it. Listening to the kids going by the house, the looks they give seeing everything, watching adults driving by slowly and enjoying…this is one of the biggest joys of doing this.

Hope everyone is able to enjoy the fall Halloween season upon us. Thanks for sharing time with LilacsNDReams! Hope to see you again soon. Take care. Toodles!
