Finally Fall:Edition Sneaky Peek Preview

Last weekend Mr. C dragged the Halloween box down from it's shelf in the garage and I wrote on Facebook that  we were having our "annual fight about how scary is too scary".  I thought it would be okay since I had written about this same thing last year in the Story of a Boy and His Ghoul post.

 It's one of my favorites.

Turned out,  Mr. C got a little bent out of shape over the whole thing.  He says it's not tactful to let the world know about marital conflicts, and maybe he's right.  Tact has never been my strongpoint.

I just feel like all couples have little fights over stupid stuff and if I can see the humor in the situation, I assumed others would too.  It really is a stupid little fight.

Anyway, he also pointed out that it's not really a fight because he's been giving in every year and listening to my "suggestions" (quotation marks are his).  I suppose this is true.  For the most part he has let me take his Halloween Night Horror vision for our house and whittle it down until it resembles something more along the lines of Casper the Friendly Ghost.

And in my defense, I think Mr. C forgets that there's a good reason I don't trust him with the decorations.  Like the fact that 3 years ago we had an old bloody baby head on a stick in our courtyard.  And a life size dummy with a bone sticking out of his arm.  And this guy:

He's still here, against my better judgement.

Anyway, I didn't sit down to take pot shots at Mr. C.  I sat down to write about our decorations this year.   It's a work in progress still, but here's a sneak peek.  

We've got wigs: 

We've got bones: 

We've got spiders, 

ghosts,

and snakes.

(A quick word about that snake.  Last week, before the Halloween decorations went up, Mr. C hung it there as part of a practical joke.  He was hoping I'd walk out the door, see the snake hanging there, and scream loud and long.  He thinks that kind of thing is hilarious.  I, however, walked right by that snake for 5 days before I even noticed it was there.  I can only wonder what the neighbors, friends, and Jehovah Witnesses that came to our door during that 5 day period thought.)  

To continue with the story....

we're hanging lights,

making props,

and in T minus 15 days, I'll be able to show you the final product.  Like I said, this is just a sneak preview. 

In the meantime, look what I caught Mr. C rigging up today:

He said he was just putting it up to mess with me, but I know him better than that.  He was hoping that this would go the way of the snake, and I'd fail to notice it.

Yeah right.

I will admit though, you've got to admire the man for holding onto his dream.

You all have a good night!
