Happy Ghosts

Well it is that time of year.  The time when mom goes all out for Halloween.  For some of you who are not familiar with, "Happy Ghosts" these have been around for about 20 years.  You can see them in the background if you go back to the "Cape" post.  Mom loves her Halloween.  You might think it was Christmas if it weren't for the color.  You might think she does it for the kids.  I think she just loves Halloween.  Good thing she doesn't live in Salem, Massachusetts during 1662.  She would have been surly burnt at the stake.  Since we no longer have kids around that enjoy Halloween, we did this in memory of them and good holiday's past.

Yes! they're back from a long absent.  Mom made these about 20 years ago.  While the kids were growing up, these were our "Scary Decorations" for Halloween.  She was made fun of by the kids for making, "Happy Ghosts".  These were made from the bed sheets of Tyler and Aaron's bed.  It has been a while due to protest of Happy Ghost.  We put them up again this year to remember all the fun Halloweens from years past. 

After so many years they are still happy and fairly white. 

 

The Nightmare Before Christmas.  What would Halloween be without mom's collection of Halloween Nutcrackers?

Yes, Mom does get into it. I think mom is the eternal kid.
