I hate fall but I begrudgingly admit to enjoying decorating for Halloween. If you have a giant ivy pit in your front yard, put some foam graves there! And a skeleton.

This year the graveyard expanded past the walkway.

Don’t forget the friendly ghosts. (we trim the ivy down from the wall after Halloween every year)

And a not-very-friendly bat.

Let’s toss some plastic skills into the potted plants while we’re at it.

We also have a string of Mickey Mouse pumpkin lights in the big window and a Disney Halloween projector that we turn on at night. The resident Halloween decor expert gives our overall look two thumbs up!
