Decorating for Halloween

Ever year I eagerly await October 1st, as it is the day I allow myselt to begin decorating the house for Halloween. I always want to start decorating in September, and it is hard to contain myself, but I know that I need to set that limit... that would be as bad as putting Christmas items in the stores in October!

This year is especially exciting because I have a front yard and porch to decroate for the first time. Gravestones, skeletons, spiderwebs, scarecrows... so many ideas, so many possibilities. And potentially so much money. I must pace myself.

Well today I got some cheezy gravestones from a craft store and spent a good 15 minutes getting frustrated with them. Those darn things are impossible to stick in the ground, I broke all of the plastic spears you are supposed to use to stand them up, and I ended up leaning them against sticks. Argh.

I think I will be making my own next time.
