Front yard spookiness

I set up ghosts and a cemetery in my front yard on Sunday. Bones and a couple of lanterns are scattered amongst the graves. Hubbyfink wanted me to put one tombstone in the tree, but that's just silly. I have a small wire fence -- the type for garden edging -- which I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to use to outline the cemetery. Yeah, I think it'll add to the atmosphere. I'm trying very hard not to buy the super cool motion-activated howling ghost thing at Target. I stood in front of that thing for a good five minutes, captivated and imagining the terrified shrieks of little kids. I guess I'll satisfy my desire to spook kids with pirategirleee dressed as the angel of death wandering the graveyard on Halloween night.

I'm also barely restraining myself from buying a fog machine and fog juice. I am not restraining myself from going to Lowe's this evening and getting more cheesecloth. The ghosts are looking a little too thin for my liking.

I want to pick up about a dozen more pumpkins and go nuts carving this weekend. I have a vision of jack-o-lanterns carpeting the yard around the graves and along the walkway. Too much? Probably. But in my mind's eye, it looks COOL.
