This weekend we decorated the house for Halloween. The kids had so much fun finding every nook and cranny to stick a fake spider web in. After pulling all of the decorations out of the storage box, we realized that we had many many decorations for our old, very tiny, townhouse. But once they were all set up in our new big house it seemed there was barely enough to cover one shelf. And so we put all of the heads in the hill-walker family together and got our creative juices flowing.
Chase pulled out this rubber skeleton and thought of the idea of making a noose to hang it from. Shilo ran upstairs and got a piece of yarn she had crocheted and made a noose.
Shilo Took many strategic moments to figure out exactly where to place the green and purple spider webs, while chase took his time placing the fake plastic spiders in a spot where Gracie, the cat, would not attack them.
I took the poster paint and had the idea to paint bloody hand prints and keep out signs on the window. I suggested we write something like help me or danger on the kids bedroom windows and was instantly shut down by chase saying you can put that on Shilo's window but my window is fine with nothing. So we stuck with just painting the living room window.
Then Brandon was looking at the front of the house and suggested that we have good space now to hang some scary lantern lighting, and I thought that would look cool with a graveyard setting. And so we set off to see what we had to create headstones. We found some old gray plastic lids to some storage bins, that Brandon cut into headstone shapes. Then I took out the poster paint again and painted the words onto them. Chase wanted to for sure have a headstone for Hitler because he was the worst Jew of all. We had to explain to him what Hitler was and how it affected the Jews, he then agreed that made him even scarier and we should have his headstone. And we could not think of another really scary bad person so Shilo thought "some dude lies here" would be just as funny.
After it was all said and done I think we all helped to create a pretty freaking scary Hill Estate...Muuahahaha!!!!
