This is also the first year that I’ve had a garage and lived in a neighborhood with this many kids. So, I decided to decorate the garage as a mini haunted house for the kids.

Most of them wouldn’t come near it, which was fine, and kinda funny. But the ones who went inside loved it. I had a lot of compliments. I want to do this every year and be, you know, “that house”. 

I also created a posted that glowed under blacklights for everyone to sign. Everyone pretty much behaved themselves signing it, which was nice. (And before you see it, yes, someone wrote “thankyou” in such a messy way that it almost doesn’t look like they meant that, but they absolutely did, I swear.)

I hosted a party a few weeks before Halloween and reused the same props for the most part.
