Halloween is my favorite holiday. It’s just so fun, what other holiday can you say that about? 😉 This will be the first Halloween at our new home and I’ve been told that our block only gets around a dozen or so trick-or-treaters. Oh well, no reason to NOT decorate, right? Have to make the ole’ abode hospitable to those 12 kiddos!
Actually this year we are hosting a small toddler Halloween party! Nothing too big, around 30ish people and less than 10 toddlers. Can you imagine MORE than 10 toddlers running around in your home? Me neither 😉
*You can see teasers for the Halloween party decor on my Instagram account*
So I didn’t want to go too scary with the decor. Instead of hanging a bunch of spooky spider webs and carving scary pumpkins, I thought this was a better way to go:
A cute smiling black cat and a cheery Halloween Door Mat, oh and a good sweep too 😉
I bought 3 different sized pumpkins and a bunch of mini pumpkins all at Lowes this year. When it came time to decorate them, I got my inspiration from this great pic on Pinterest. I used black and white spray paint from Lowes and chalk. Easy, peasy although not quite as perfect as the inspiration pic 😉 And while I was at it, I gave my tired iron planters a quick spray as well! It made a huge difference. Old Mr. Crow and some of the cheesecloth from last year made an appearance as well.
So overall, not too scary for the little ones, right? What did you guys do this year? Any fun and unique themes?

What can you tell us about your door wreath? Is it alive? False? Where did you get it? If it is alive, how long does it last? Is it easy to care for? I've been searching for a wreath like this but can only find chintzy silk flower ones. Any direction would be appreciated!!

I got the wreath on Joss & Main awhile back. It's real leaves that have been dried and preserved, so it stays green 🙂 LOVE it!
