Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I usually like to share my Halloween decor way earlier than this, but with a newborn, I'm barely squeezing this in before the end of Halloween. I love, LOVE Halloween. This year though I'm lucky I was able to put anything up at all.

I had grand plans for these spider webs. Part of that was to actually finish putting them up and to add some scary spiders. These two bushes were as far as I got. Maybe next year?

My Mom made me this sign. In fact, she made a lot of my Fall/Halloween decor.

She made me the Frankenstein and the stacked pumpkin.

She made me a cute Mummy family (there are two more on the other side).

She also made me this cute countdown sign. We saw it on pinterest and gave it a go. Sorry, I don't have the link. I emailed it to my mom and forgot to pin it.

Another thing I did last minute was carve our pumpkin. As you can see, Olivia was more fascinated by the chandelier than with the whole pumpkin carving business.

And here's the best shot I got of my little pumpkin with our pumpkin. I usually like to carve something scary, but since it was Olivia's "first" carving experience, we went with a cute bat kitty.

Happy Halloween from Olivia the Pumpkin! We hope you all enjoy, stay warm, and stay safe!

Kari! I'm *SO* glad you're blogging again... now I can stalk, I mean...follow you. :)

Olivia is SO cute... just soak up every second with her and don't worry about "failing", I remember feeling that way a lot with Jaxon. You know her best and remember at the end of the day she will love you with all she has, no matter what! It's bound to happen that we all mess up eventually, but it's the beauty of grace... getting back up on our feet. :)
