Let's Make Things a Little Spooky

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it...our Halloween decorations were not that fab this year. Maybe it was because we were on a cruise for a week during the middle of October. Maybe it's Joe working midnights. Maybe it's that I amCRAZY busy. Whatever the reason is, we did not go all out like we have in years past....just a few carefully placed decorations.

Letterpress letters that spell out BOO and a spider votive

I pulled out some spooky books we had and added a skull on top.

A spooky tree candle holder and haunted house that I picked up from Pottery Barn a few years ago.

Our "Martha Stewart" witch that Joe made us a few years ago. She is made of wood and hold a broom in one hand and a lantern in the other.

Pumpkins and Mums :)

I promise Christmas will be WAYYYYY better!!

Happy Halloween!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day! We had a BUSY weekend so I have been relaxing. Joe has to work tonight, so it's going to be a pretty low-key evening :) Enjoy these pictures from past Halloweens.

Half Moon Cay (aka Paradise)- Day #5

For our 2nd port of call we went to Carnival's private island, Half Moon Cay. It was my favorite stop on the cruise.

We had to take a little boat over to the island.

Kristy and Steven on the way to the island.

Me and Joe ready to get our beach on!

This is the life....I was ready to move here. Wonder if they need a teacher or baker?

Weekend Wrap-Up!!

We had a wonderful weekend!! Drew and Michelle (my brother and his wife) came up to visit from Jackson, MS and stayed with us. We ate chili and carved pumpkins on Friday night.

Hanky was VERY curious as to what was going on.

The finished pumpkins : a haunted house (complete with spooky tree and graveyard), and 2 faces :)

Michelle and Drew with their pumpkins.

While washing off the pumpkin seeds to roast, I shoved some pumpkin guts down the garbage disposal and clogged the drain....lovely!!

On Saturday morning we made breakfast and then went to the zoo!
