Boo! Take Two!

Well I made a few stops on the way home to try to up the spook content of our house this Halloween. I started with this and added a big furry spider and some crows to sit around the house

PJ and the 'Boys' even got in to the Halloween spirit.

Although Otis wasn't quite sure about the hat.

I also bought some mason jars for $6.79 and painted them all black except for some clear spaces in the shape of spooky eyes or jack-o-lantern faces to line our stairway. Also, just a tidbit, If you want the paint to come off afterwards so you can reuse the jar or whatever you are painting on, just add a little liquid dish soap, and the paint will slide off with water. However in all the rush, I forgot to take a picture of the jars and the outside set up, Opps!

And as for the trick or treaters? We had 8 in total! Boo Hoo. Not sure if we are in a neighbourhood with no kids or if the shopping centre trick or treating is taking over. I will keep trying and hopefully the candy scent with lure them in. Insert maniacal laughter here.

On a side note, I am looking for something to spice with the old window in the first picture. It is from our basement renovation and is original to our 1935 house, but it is kinda bland on our mantle. Anyone have any ideas? I can't leave the halloween and spider, the next holiday is just around the corner.
