Halloween Vignettes

Today I am sharing some of my favorite Halloween vignettes. You'd think that because I love October so much that my house would be full of Halloween decor eye candy. Well, it's not. No decorations. Not. A. One. I know. I'm a loser.

You all know Monica Geller, right? (By the way, my sister pointed out the fact that I refer to the Friends characters as if they're real, and as if they're my friends. I see nothing wrong with that.) Monica, like me, prides herself on and rather enjoys the art of organization...except for one closet. (Remember the episode when Chandler tries to get in it with his credit cards, and Joey thinks that maybe Richard lives in the closet?) Well, I have a closet, and though it's not locked, we call it the Monica Geller closet. The reason I share this whole spiel, is because that's where the Halloween decorations are. In the closet. In a bin. Behind two other bins, and under three bins, luggage, and a box. Ehhh, I probably don't like anything in there, anyway. Guess I should just go buy new.

  2. As your little one gets older, you might be more motivated to dig through your closet and put up some decorations. You'll find that you even put up the cheesy kind cuz kids like cheesy stuff they can touch and play with and it prevents them from messing with mom's decorations. Very nice ideas, thanks for sharing. I love the way you narrarate your blog.

  3. We live in the middle of nowhere on a major road. No one trick or treats so I feel no need to decorate. I miss decorating for Halloween. Mind you none of my decorations are half as classy as those.
