This year we were late with everything. Normally, we start Halloweening the house at 1 October, but now work and time got in the way. I don't know about you, but man, time's flying lately! Then, the local newspaper called: they wanted an interview. Twitter actually works :-) because we followed the local newspaper on Twitter and then they contacted us for an interview. So now we had to speed things up to get everything ready. Maybe for the better because who knows what we made of Halloween otherwise.
First thing we did is build up Spooky Town after a little shopping for new figurines of course. :-) I have to get better pictures though, so I'll upload them in a few days.
Then it was time to cover the parking place next to our house with sods. Someone was so generous as to donate them to us, so many thanks go out to them!
Then it was time to turn it into a graveyard:
Of course it's more creepy in the evening:
What's a Halloween garden without carved pumpkins? My wife thinks they're a pain in the ass LOL, but for me it's relaxing to do and I love how I can make the pumpkins look. My wife loves how they look and thinks they're really beautiful, but she's just not into making them. Here are the ones I'm most proud of:
It was a really bad pumpkin year this year. We had to go through a lot of trouble to get big ones and then we had to find out the pumpkins were going bad the day after we carved them. We never had so much trouble with them and so I had to carve more pumpkins to change them and have beautiful pumpkins untill Halloween. Usually the pumpkins begin to rot after a week, so it was really bad. Hopefully next year will be a lot better.
