NBR: Halloween

Halloween. Scary or cute? My kids are the most sensitive kids ever but they want to do our house scary. After going to the local Halloween store I realized there is a line when scary is too scary and my neighbors could hate me for scaring their kids. So I bought one headstone, one skull, one jumping spider, a keep out sign and want to get scary doorbell music. I am worried the jumping spider will be too scary for little kids even though my youngest is 4. Discuss!

    For now ours is bare minimum. No one comes to our house for trick or treating because we live off the road so I don't decorate outside. I do a little inside.

    When we move, we'll decorate outside more and then I'll let the kids decide at the store.

    I agree, I think you'll be fine with what you have. It's "scary" but not in a grotesque or haunted mansion fashion.

    We have a skull, some skeletons hanging buy the front door, and ugly witch hanging from a tree, some light up spider webs on the lattice wood in the flower bed, and on Halloween night we turn on the fog machine and a little strobe light for effect.  It's not scary but and I don't think what you have would be considered scary.

    Sticking to cute. We have skeleton garland in the window, a glittery skull, and a candy corn ornament up now.   I do a bunch of pumpkins (and sometimes go a bit overboard) the night before the trick or treat.  That's about as far as I plan to go.

    Man. I can barely keep up with making sure dinner is on the table and everyone knows who is picking up from school each day. I suck big time at doing fun stuff like holiday decoration. I need to be more organized :(

    We did cute just pumpkins and autumnal stuff for the front yard.

    My SS picked out a psycho clown Halloween costume which I am NOT excited about though. I told him if he picks this costume he cannot go to his school for dress up day in it. He said that's fine. :/
