I’m not really a fan of Halloween decorations.
There, I said it.
What’s so interesting about giant cobwebs, spiders, and dead bodies? I have most of those things around my house all year round! Not the bodies, but lots of spiders in spider webs!
My neighbor made a huge display on their tree and now that leaves are falling they’re caught and twisted in the fake cobwebs. They also have a strobe light that makes me think I’m going to have a seizure when I drive by at night. I’ve even seen green cobwebs that make me think of slime. Why would you want that “decorating” your house?
So, if I don’t really do Halloween decorations, what do I put up? Fallish stuff that can stay out until Thanksgiving such as:
There is one thing that I do every year for Halloween and that’s take Wilson, in costume, to visit the home my Grandparents moved to in 2007. Ready for the cuteness?

In 2009, Chase was visiting so I took both dogs. I was hoping to repeat that this year with Nixon but my little spaz… he wasn’t ready:
he could barely sit still and has been energetically jumping on everything and everyone in sight – so not ready to visit people who like calm dogs who don’t scratch, jump or freak out.
Wilson, however, loves visiting and is always on his best behavior. Doesn’t this look just scream “I’ll behave!”
