Halloween is the most favorite of all holidays for me. But this year was hell. I got sick and I didn't get as much pleasure out of terrorizing children as I normally do. My yard display was meager at best and my porch was creepy but not nearly as I would have liked. I just didn't have the energy to create realistic graves to go with my headstones. I only carved one pumpkin and it wasn't my best. I only put out 2 boxes of bones and my small dead body was lifeless (okay, that could be a good thing but he had no character) I didn't even put out all the black lights. I did get a new spooky sounds CD and that was fun.
And get this, I was too wiped out to put on my nun costume and chastize the evil children at the door with my ruler!
Next year will be better, I will plan early, I will not get sick. I will get Rob to help me make that wooden coffin I've be longing for....
These pics are after I took the headstones out of the yard and were letting them dry off from the rain.
man do be so hard on yourself, at least you got trick or treaters. we only got half a dozen knocks on the door the whole night. we did dress up the dogs though and that was fun. he he he.
