Some Halloween decorations

So I thought it would be fun to break up the Disney posts with a little Halloween decoration post. These decorations are in our family room and on the bar that faces the family room in our house. I went to my mom's house a couple of weeks ago and asked her if I can have some of the decorations that I remember growing up as a kid with decorating and since she's just the best mom ever she gave them to me. Not all of them, but the ones that I really loved as a child and have memories with. So now I have all the ones that we bought as a new family Chantz, Dalton and I and then some from my childhood and I hope that Dalton gets to enjoy all of these just as much as I did growing up.



This is on our front door hahaha it's true too. Our life is like a circus it's always fun and crazy like a nuthouse:):) We got this at kirklands I love that store!!!
This is on the wall right beside the front door and this was one that my mom gave me. She used to have a witch one just like it but that one got lost in a move so I only have the scarecrow. I think he is just adorable!!!

These pots I bought last year and I keep them out year round but my grandma found these really neat fall looking fill ins that I just love. I have branches in there too that I have all year because they are the same color as the couches but you really can't see them right now.
They have these little orange gems that are just so festive. The redish branches are the ones that I keep out all year.
Now to the bar. These are in between my two place settings. These cute little pumpkins I got at Kirklands. I still need to get bar stools for here and then I will show you the whole bar with the place settings. The place settings are these leaf bowls that I got at Walmart and I'm so happy because I have bowls that match perfect that I bought at JCPennys last year for 75% off.
This little guy is sitting right on the corner of the bar next to the place settings. I got him this year around the time that we moved into the house.
This is above our fireplace. The Harvest Time sign was one from when I was small that I got from my mom. We used to have gorgeous brick columns in our house growing up and my mom used to have all this stuff on there and it matched our brick fireplace that you could sit down on a step in front of. I guess the new thing is these tile fireplaces and there is no seat which I do miss from the house I grew up in. The two candles that are rounded with shattered glass I bought at Kohls and the leaves and turkey and scarecrow I got at Walmart. The little tea light bags I got from my mom there used to be four of them but two broke over the years.
Here is more of a distant look so you can see more of the room. The little candle sconces on the wall to the right of the fireplace well there is another one on the other side of the wall of windows right there to the right and I have a little white candle that I tied a really pretty orance lace bow on to be festive. They look really cute!!! I just didn't take a picture.
I'm going to show one side of the entertainment center at a time. Most of this stuff is things that I grew up with and my mom let me have them finally. The scarecrow at the bottom on the wreath I made that at church trunk or treat when I was in elementary school and then the picture frames, the candle on the bottom shelf and the thanksgiving boxes that are on the top shelf are all new. The black frame in the middle shelf now has our family picture with pluto and it looks really cute!!!
This is above the tv. The two pumpkins were ones I grew up with again there were three but one broke and the one on the right is a face too she's just squinting her eyes and you can't really see it in this picture. The turkey was my mom's too and then I had the two glass jars with candles and I added the spider tape to run around the top of them instead of ribbon cause I thought it was really festive and cute.
On this side the two treat bags on the bottom along with the witch head down there was my mom's and the two things behind I bought at kohls. The little black thing in the back right on the bottom was what I wanted to put candy corns in but Dalton is a little too violent with this so she stays in the back where he can't reach :) The pumpkin on the top shelf is something that is very special to me because it's something that was my parents when they first got married. The scarecrow on the top shelf with the basket and the little thanksgiving figures in the middle were my mom's and the candle holders up top I had and I just added the candles with more spider tape. The picture of the three of us in black and white is now a cute one of Dalton with pumpkins to make it more festive.
Finally here is a picture of the whole entertainment center. I know it's a little dark that's why I did the individual sides too so you can see them really well. Hope you guys enjoyed seeing the decorations and that they helped put you in the holiday spirit even though it's hot outside still haha.
