Halloween Decorating!

Okay, Okay..I know I said I was waiting till September 30th to put the decorations up...until I saw so many houses already decorated!!! I used to be one of the first and now I notice that more and more people are decorating earlier and earlier which is awesome! So away we go!

My big window in my kitchen/dining area is always my favorite to decorate. It also has two side windows that I like to match. 

I love using 3D party decorations on my windows. It just makes everything POP! So fun!

Since this is Jinxie and Moo Moo's first Halloween (and holiday) in an actual "home", they were intrigued by the many boxes and decorations! Jinxie made a new friend.

Missy Moo Moo was stunned by the window and kept coming in to watch. She wasn't frightened; just interested!


The foyer table was decorated even more with some favorite things.

 The ladies came out for their stay in the foyer as well!Named from my favorite movie, Hocus Pocus they are Winifred, Sara & Mary. They laugh and shake when you walk past. Can't even explain the reaction of the cats to that! Kind of like a Tom & Jerry cartoon without the mouse.


Added this black cat to our other witch friend Helga. I had gotten her for free at a craft fair cause her hat was snapped off the top.A minor repair. She's made of wood. Wood glue does wonders...I gave her a cat friend this year courtesy of Family Dollar. We named him Skeezix.


The metal "not so scary" tree is back to join the kitchen window. You put a candle or battery operated tea light in each of those spiders he hangs from his branches. He 's great! Welcome back, my buddy!


Back to the foyer....off the foyer is my parlor and peeking through the french doors ...can you see her? Another witch friend.

I have to show you her full height. She is quite tall and peers through the glass at the other three witches in the foyer behind the words : CAST A SPELL! I don't know if you can see them .....

In a hallway, are the three light up ghosts.  And this year I added my little brooms from Dollar Tree that I got last year. Though I did see them this year too....I think the brooms look perfect with our ghostys.

Each broom has a cute saying...

Oh good, there's broom parking available!

So that's where I'm at on this Friday morning! School is closed yesterday and today for the Jewish New Year so my kids have been busy helping. More decorating after breakfast. We are still working on the outside, my kitchen and more. I'm working on a small Halloween tree. So fun. and I'm so happy we'll have lots of time to enjoy it! 

BTW Hocus Pocus is on ALL WEEKEND on the the Lifetime channel. Check your schedules. It'll get you in the mood! Oh, and here's the first apple crumb pie for the season from the bag of apples we picked! 

Have a great weekend!
