Halloween is fast approaching, and as many of you may already know, it's one of the biggest holidays for my family. We love to decorate, and dress up in costumes, it's always a big to-do, every year. So my daughter and I have started pulling out our Halloween decorations, making sure that everything still works, and has all of it's correct pieces. We have a lot of decorations that we bought new last year. One of the first things we've pulled out is our headless man. He stands six feet tall, wearing a billowing black robe and holds his head within his hand. Actually, it's more of a skull than a head. The eyes light up, his mouth opens and closes, and he talks. He is activated by a motion censor. He has a few lines of speech, and a really eerie laugh, it's great!

I haven't started yet. But I still have two birthdays to plan before Halloween. I'm glad you have so much fun!

Melanie, you're so organized! I usually spend part of Halloween dreaming of what I'll make for Halloween costume NEXT year!

Halloween is a big holiday for us too but I haven't dragged anything out yet. I've got to get through my son's wedding first.

Oohhh, fun. We don't decorate the house much, but we do love to dress up in costumes and hit the neighborhood for candy.
