Scenes from our Halloween House!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Hope you can all forgive my lack of postings this month!

We are working on changing over

 our internet, phone and cable services...

and this is taking much more time than I thought it would.

Right now I am perched on a wooden chair at our

Starbucks...being grateful for their free internet service

So, since today is Halloween I wanted to

show you our Halloween House that the kids

 and I decorated this month.....

Remember our theme this year was

Edgar Allen Poe's poem

The Raven

This is the mantle...

I took an old book and double sided taped the pages

to the front of the mantle and then ripped the bottoms off

 

I think it turned our really spooky and deserted looking

Our specimen and potion cabinets



Raven feather quills...to write another spooky poem with

in case Edgar Allen Poe's ghost decides to visit us one dark night



A raven guarding it's eggs...



And of course we did our shadow tree again this year.

Somehow it grew out of control this year...I just kept

adding branches and a lantern that lights up at night



Hope you all have a wonderfully safe and spooky

Halloween Night!

And p.s..
Thank you to my little sister
for her guest hijack post!
She did a great job and I appreciate
her taking the time to put it together
while our internet is/was down
And yes the passwords have been changed....
HAHA
