I have always wanted to have a cute house. A house where it was easy to tell that a fun and exciting person could be found inside. I figured that decorating for the holidays would be the way to go, and I ALWAYS intended to do that kind of stuff but it never really worked out. The Valentine Heart window clings fell off and and the ones on the storm door actually blew away. I did make a cute Christmas wreath last year- but it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it- Oh and the Christmas lights I put up- 1/3rd of them didn't light up.....
But this Halloween- we look like fun people! I think....
See our ghosts- J likes to point out that one is Mommy and one is Daddy and that there is a baby and a big boy. I cut out the parts and put tape on the eyes, then I let J put the eyes on the ghosts, it worked out pretty well.Next our pumpkins.....
I once again cut everything out, I put the smiling pumpkin together, and then I let J decide the location for all the other pumpkin face pieces. I was quite surprised by 1- how J seems to think that all faces need at least one crooked piece- whether it be the nose, eyes or mouth- something needs to be slightly off. And 2- They all look really cute.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I did not come up with this idea on my own. There is a house up the street that has been "Advertising" that someone fun lives inside. I saw their pumpkins and thought- "Oh, that is really cute, we have construction paper, we could totally do that" and I stole their idea. I thought I came up with the ghost thing all on my own, but then I walked past their house again yesterday and saw that they too had ghosts on their door. hehehehe. Guess I am not one to come up with original Ideas- but I am pretty good at making cute copies.

They turned out so cute! I always love decorating for holidays and I always have those same problems - but I make it work anyway. I put the window clings on the INSIDE where they can't blow away. Sometimes that makes them backwards so I try to only buy the ones that can go either way. Ya know? You did a great job, and of course there are fun people inside! Happy Halloween!
We enjoy looking at your decorations from across the street - good job!
