Halloween Fun...

We are FINALLY getting festive around the Caswell House. In talking with friends a few weeks ago, I realized the only holiday we have really decorated for in the new house was Christmas. How sad is that?!?!?! This...from the girl who used to decorate for EVERY holiday throughout the year. As new homeowners, we all concurred that there was so much that was new that it was hard to put up the old stuff from the old house when we were still enjoying the newness of the brand new house. New smell, new furnishings, new decorations, etc. Well, the newness has worn off and we are in full holiday decor mode once again. :)

So we began shopping a few weeks ago by hitting our local favorite...Halloween Express. We already have costumes, but it was time to start looking for fun, festive indoor and outdoor decorations for the new house. I think we spent 3 hours, looking for yard embellishments, finding fun things for our new rooms, crazy items for the entryway to and of course, trying on masks and hats and as well. We had a blast!! We bumped into a whole bunch of friends while we were there, so I think that made it even more fun. :)

Miss J, you'd be proud, the inside of the house is FINALLY decorated!!!! We are once again a lively bunch in the morning with all of our traditions...the Halloween advent calendar is still a hands down favorite. Running down the stairs in the morning to see what the Halloween Witch has left that day.

We are decorating the outside of the house today, but still have a few more "finishing touches" to find before we wrap things up out there. :) It's so nice to be fun and festive again...
