It's getting spooky around here!
I'm not necessarily HUGE on Halloween, but this year's an exception.
We have guests coming tonight, and we can. not. wait.
In a few hours, we'll play host (in our 2 bedroom, 1 bath) to some Reno-favorites:
Judy, Steve, Jason, Ian, Cole, Mato & Amy (a couple transplants).
Woo hoo!!!
But, I should back up. I have a feeling you'll be hearing LOTS about our weekend in the coming days...
Rewind.
John, Audrey and I have been looking forward to this weekend for MONTHS!
What should we do?
Where should we go?
Who's sleeping where?
And, I've been decorating!
{Thanks Mom for getting me hooked on decorating for the holidays. I see now why you enjoyed it so much.}
Sure, Audrey's too young to really get excited or understand what's going on. Don't worry honey, you'll get it one of these days...But, Ian and Cole- they're the perfect age! This is going to be fun!
Let me give you a cyber-tour....
Let's be honest, I don't have the budget, nor the storage space to go TOO CRAZY. I just focused on this one room- our living room.
My favorite find was this burlap "spooky" sign... Don't you love it?!?!
And, instead of buying mass-produced Halloween art, signs or stickers for the house- I turned to other blogs to find these great FREE printables! I printed out a variety of pictures, just on regular white paper, and framed them over some of the family photos we already have around the room.
And, Judy turned me on to this little gem...She uses Wordle with her students to make word clouds...
Me? I just entered my own variety of Halloween words in the system, and again, just printed out on white paper and framed. Oh, and I colored "BOO" orange...Pretty fun!

We can't wait to see everyone soon!!!!
The kids have some fun trick-or-treat bags waiting....
Let the fun begin!
love, kerry
