It's Almost Hallowe'en!

Rylan 2009

I love Hallowe'en!! It is one of my favourite times of year.
Every year (for the last 8) we have a Hallowe'en party, and every year we try to top the previous year with better food, better costumes and better decorations.
I don't know what happened with this year, but it's 2 days before our party and I'm not really feeling any motivation to decorate, bake or costume make. :(
My house has a couple of strands of caution tape up (thanks Rylan!), the menu is not planned at all, and my costume is far from done.
Last night I decided to dedicate today to Hallowe'en prep. It's almost 11 o'clock and I'm in my PJs on the internet! I have done 2 loads of laundry, but that doesn't really help with the party!
I decided to look through old Hallowe'en party pictures (what I have on this computer) for some inspiration and motivation.

McCain left his mark EVERYWHERE in our house. I'm still finding these! This is the one that was taped to our bedroom ceiling. I'm pretty sure we also framed one behind our new rooms in the basement.
