I LOVE Halloween!


Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the changing of the leaves, the smell of Autumn (which is hard to put into words), trick-or-treating, costumes, candy, and my Count Snoopula flag. Last year, we moved into our house on October 1st, so I never got around to hanging my cool flag. You can't see them in the photo above, but I have orange lights around my railings and my front door. I love to decorate and I wish I had lots of money this year to do it. I want scarecrows and bales of hay with tons of pumpkins everywhere. Oh well, maybe I can do that next year. Hayden is going to be Mr. Incredible and Emerson is going to be a froggy. They look so adorable in their costumes. I will be sure to post a photo of them later. I am thinking about taking them to the Picture People for a Halloween photo shoot. We'll see.

Emerson needs a haircut, don't ya think? We are waiting until just before his 1st birthday to chop it. That's the same thing that I did with Hayden. The amazing thing about chopping their hair for the first time is that it makes them immediately look like little boys instead of babies. That's why I wait until they are one. I want to preserve that baby-ishness as long as possible ;)

I love your decorations! and I love the smell of autumn too. You're right, it's impossible to put into words. My favorite fall memories were cool nights at the NC State Fair and going to football games at Carter-Finley. Dang I'm really homesick!!!

Hey...cute pics! Fall is the most awesome time of year, and probably one of my most favorite times to decorate too! Can't wait to see the kids in their costumes!

Your decorations look great! My little guy needs a hair cut too, but I hate that transition from looking like a baby to big kid too.
