It's the last day of July, and though my wife would not want me to wish away the summer, I'll admit the fall is my favorite time of the year. The foliage, crisp evenings, the start of football season, inching closer to the holidays...I can't wait. Even though she loves summer, she's starting to feel the excitement of the fall as well - all of the fun event we attend: The Big E in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the Yankee Candle factory trip, the Turkey Bowl (every year about 40 friends gather to share food and play touch football - only one injury in six years!). I'll have to blog about the Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport, ME, an amazing event.
All of this being said, my wife's favorite holiday is Halloween, and we began searching for decorations for our pumpkin carving party. Jo-Anns had a few decorations out, and Michael's was beginning to set up their Halloween crafts. We even went to Target but they still were in "Back to School" mode.
We'll most likely set up our two Halloween displays around October 1, and I will take some decent pictures this year. She really outdoes herself on her layouts and themes. I posted earlier about the Halloween Amusement Park.
This year she really wants to add the Haunted Outhouse. We're tempted to add the funhouse, but I think more of the D56 budget went to Christmas this year. We also liked the haunted carousel but then we heard some less than favorful reviews of the piece not working properly in some occasions, so we were scared off.
FYI, the stores linked above go to the search results page for "halloween" - they all seem to have an abundant inventory of halloween stuff.
