I hope one of the things my children remember about their childhood is that there was a playfulness to their surroundings. I want our home to be an honest reflection of the love and laughter that fills it. And with each season change and new holiday, we get to shake things up and create anew! Since Halloween is one of our favorites, I thought I'd post a few pics of what is lying around our house this month (pardon the pun). Happy Halloween!

| To save time, I got layout ideas from Halloween chalkboards on Pinterest and customized them with my own writing and words to fit our family. This framed board hangs next to our kitchen table and I change the quote monthly. I use chalk markers for the lettering because it gives me a lot more control. |

| This glass cloche was just begging for a skull. Looks like a specimen jar. |
 |
| My kids are not happy about this one. I thought it was so funny I just had to do it. I probably won't repeat it next year because the feedback has been ENTIRELY negative. |
 |
| Since the gravestone of one of our property's previous owners (1800's) was found in a nearby field, I actually thought twice about adding Roman to our backyard. A little too close to the truth, if you know what I mean. But again, I had do it. My children have come to expect this from me. |
 |
| This chalkboard is in our entryway. I tweaked a layout I saw on Pinterest to fit my chalkboard and added some props to make it a little creepier. |
I just couldn't end this post without a few shots of our property. It is such a gift to live in this part of the country in the Fall!
