I would like to encourage people to post pictures of their jack-o-lanterns or other decorations, etc. Compared to last year, we aren't going to be able to do a lot since we don't have a proper front yard in our new place. The headstones from last year aren't going to waste... my mother-in-law is going to set up a graveyard at her place
Oh, and one of the biggest influences in some of our stuff is The Nightmare Before Christmas. These were given to me as birthday gifts the past two years. Here's my fav.

We have yet to hang them up in our new home. A year or so ago we found Halloween ornaments which my husband insisted on buying even though I didn't know what to do with them. Lo and behold, Wal-Mart came out with a little Halloween tree. Worked out great.
I haven't decided what to do for my pumpkin this year, but I will share some old photos as well as a video I made of my favorite (actually, only) snow globe. You can click on it to see the bats fly in the globe and hear the music.
These images are making this post huge so I'll just put links if you want to see some of my favorite jack-o-lanterns from years past.

How about you? Any ideas for Halloween? Costumes, decorations, etc?? Last year I was Dorothy and my son was the Cowardly Lion but he got sick so we didn't even go anywhere. Let me tell you, it was a pain to find those ruby slippers! lol
What kind of paint did you use? A girl I know said she used some acrylic paint but wasn't sure if rain would wash it off. Did you keep those outside? I'm not going to decorate until it gets closer to the holiday, at least if carving is involved, so the pumpkin doesn't get all gross.
