Go Big or Go Home



I am linking up today to my sister Ashley's porch display Spooktacular Specktacular. I decided to join at the last minute but that didn't stop me from pulling out the big guns.



Sam was totally cool with me painting the front door orange for the month:



I never forget the steps:



I went KA-RAZY with the pumpkins this year:







I loooove owls:



And here is what I put together for the yard at night:



If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!

    PS--I'm also impressed that you were willing to see the error of your ways and include some Halloween owls in your display.

    Having a Halloween without owl decorations is pretty much unthinkable!

    There really are no words for the time and effort you put in to this display. It is massively and overwhelmingly impressive. All those pumpkins, all those steps, all those doors...astounding, really. And those owls...you know I love those, too.

    But based on comments alone, your comment on Tyler's blog should win the whole damn contest.

    I guess I could say the same as Brooke did about her display, I had a little time on my hands.

    Amazing! You must have a bunch of Halloween minions to help you with all of your decor! Send them to my house!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

    I totally should have painted my front door orange. You're clearly the winner.

    And I just love your use of owls. So creative. Wherever did you get the inspiration??

    This is a mockery of all that is good in this spooky season. I demand that this blasphemous post be removed.

    And your comment on Tyler's post is hysterical. That redeems you from this post.

    I thought you were the obvious winner by sheer volume and effort expended, then I saw Kaari's. You need to beef it up!

    The best part about this is your "I am the Bomb" label.
