All good things must come to an end...

After weeks and weeks of decorating and preparing for our Halloween party, it's officially over.

I never give the outdoor creatures as much "blog time" as I do the indoor decorations, so it's only fair that I leave you with a few more exterior shots (don't ask me about the electricity bill..there's a reason we don't decorate like this at Christmas).

Goodbye October, we will miss you.

Anyone interested in helping pack up our stuff?

Kim, I just had to stop by this Halloween knowing the peek at your decorated home would be spectacular, and boy is it ever!!!! I wanted to share with you the simple but dramatic production that goes on in my yard on this anniversary date of my son and his bride. I hope you enjoy -pretty scary!
Thanks for sharing your fun day! E

So glad you had another Happy Halloween! I bet you have the packing up down to a science! I've seen your organized Rubbermaid! HA HA!

Wow, it's all amazing, Kim! Great costumes and decor & lights! Love it that the kitties even got in on the act:)

Your Halloween party is absolute incredible!!!! Io non potevo mai neanche immaginare che potesse esistere qualcosa di simile, mai ne ho visto nella mia vita, nemmeno in televisione!
Tutto era straordinario e perfino difficile da commentare, però per me la cosa più bella erano YOURS CATS WITH HATS!!!

J'adore.Je trouve votre décoration d' Halloween impressionnante et franchement très jolie. En France, nous avons essayer de faire Halloween dans notre village. Ca a marché les premières années et puis ça s'essouffle aux fils du temps.
Bravo et bravo pour votre site que j'ai découvert par hasard mais qui est très touchant.

i hate the packing up part... and then the in between before decorating for christmas.. I'll probably do it this weekend. I hate saying goodbye to soo much cute stuff for another year. but there is lots of cute stuff to replace it with.. just a lot of work!
and you have a lot of work ahead of you too! but something tells me you probably have it down to a science after 20 years!
have a great day Kim!

Only 364 days until the next Halloween, Kim! Congratulations on such fantastic Halloween decorating. You and your family never cease to amaze me!

Such great photos of the family.

The outside is amazing...I would love to see it in person. All of the kids must come from miles around to see it.

I packed up most of my stuff this morning, but of course I don't have 39 billion Halloween containers like someone else does. I bet you don't have nearly as much help in taking it down as putting it up though.

Call me a party popper, but I LOVE taking down our holiday decor almost more than I enjoy putting it up. Funny, but after staring at it for so long I start to feel like the walls are closing in on me. Getting everything back in their boxes just makes me feel GOOOOOOOOD :)

Lynn said...

I love all of your fun!! If I lived closer I would help you clean up and put everything up!
Hugs,

Kim said...

Karin said...

Oh my word...I would hate to have to pack up all that stuff (although I am envisioning doing it with snow on the ground--haha). So glad you guys had a fun party. I know your kids will have such great memories of your special parties.

Even the kitty cats had costumes! :-) It all looks so wonderful, indoors and out! I don't know how you are going to top this next year.
