Halloween is getting near!

Halloween is just right around the corner and I'm still not done decorating my yard.  I don't go to extremes, not by no means, but I do like to add a little Halloween spirit to my yard. There are many great ideas on Pinterest that I would love to do....it's just finding the time. 

I just may find the time this weekend, since I decided to take a couple days off work (paid of course) and take some photos of what I DO have done.  I do plan on adding more, as the week goes on, but take a look of what I have so far.  I want to thank #ScaryPeeper and #PartyCheap for supplying me these awesome Halloween props.  Without these, my yard would look like everyone else's.  

Who is he waiting for?  You?  This is so real looking, especially at night!  He is the Scary Peeper.  Prop him outside your window, looking in, and see how many people you can scare!

This Scary Peeper Skeleton has rats already around him!  It seems he's waiting for the mail lady!  I'm sure my mail lady is not too fond of him!

He may not be 3D, but all the peeps I know who absolutely hate clowns, are afraid of clowns or who just plain do not like them....well, BEWARE...he is waiting right around the side of my house!  This zombie clown is from Partycheap.com.

These are just a few of the props I have up as of now, but I can promise you, there will be more!

It's Time For Halloween! Scary Jointed Zombie Clown

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays as well as favorite time of year.  Halloween is not only about ghouls and goblins, but a time to celebrate Fall, have fun dressing up, Halloween parties and yard decor!  Decorating for Halloween is so fun!  I enjoy driving around my neighborhood, spying all the front yard decorations and the imaginative and creative ways people come up with.

Visiting haunted houses and haunted forests is also on my agenda when I think about Halloween.  Who doesn't love a good scare! (Ok, some of you may not), but this is the funnest holiday for me.

You may have recently seen me posts about some of the awesome Halloween props I've received, and yet, I have another....the Jointed Zombie Clown.  Alright...don't all of you start screaming at the same time.  I know a lot of people who have fear of clowns.  I know if I have a clown plastered up next to my house, more than likely, they wont' be coming up to my door.  I get it...I think.  Well, this Jointed Zombie Clown is not your ordinary clown.  He's scary, he's frightful and he looks dead right freaky!

The Jointed Zombie Clown is taller than I am!  He stands 5 feet 6 inches tall, is made out of cardstock.  It is a cardstock cutout that you can hang on a wall or any flat surface, using tape, pins or string.  He is designed with sharp teeth, tattered clothing and a brain snow cone (I guess when I saw the snow cone, I didn't notice it was a brain!).  Frighten your family and guests with this scary clown!  I plan on hanging this little man on the outside of my garage door...that's the only place he will fit!

I plan on doing an update to this post, once I have my jointed Zombie Clown and others hung up.  It's almost time for Halloween!  Have some fun!  Splurge and decorate your yard. Have fun scaring the neighborhood kids and purchase your Zombie Clown today!

Sleepless in Southeast Missouri

I'm normally not a light sleeper, or so I didn't think so.  I normally go to bed around 8:30pm...yes, I know that's early, but I am usually up and at 'em at 4:30 in the morning.  I have no problem falling asleep, hardly ever, and I normally don't have trouble STAYING asleep, but last night was a different story.

I woke up, after hearing my front door open (which was my guest, who worked late last night).  Usually I just fall back to sleep within 10 minutes.  But then I heard the television.  Now, I can fall asleep in the living room, if I'm sleepy, with the t.v. on, but for some reason, at 1:00 - 2:00 am, that was not the case.  Maybe if the television couldn't have been heard, I probably could have fallen back asleep.  But my house isn't the most sound proof house either.

Then I heard a cell phone go off, at least 5 times.  That even made it worse.  Then the fridge's ice maker (someone getting crushed ice), then the microwave!  OMG!  Stop already!  No matter how much I tried and tried to go back to sleep, my body had other plans.  Then I heard my Pug and husband take turns snoring!  GIVE IT A REST ALREADY!  Then it was the trash truck at 2:45 am (yes, I heard this too!) 3:45 am, my husband's alarm goes off...time for him to get up for work.  Then I had to make a bathroom trip, 3:40 am.  My husband said he was going to go ahead and leave for work, so I could get some sleep....Guess what?  I've been awake since 12:00am...FAT CHANCE!  I was right.  Around 4:30 am, I finally decided to get up...couldn't go to sleep, anyhow.

For anyone who knows me, I am a very timely person.  That, meaning, I go to bed at 8:30, I sleep most throughout the night.  I may get up and use the bathroom around 1:00 am, but I instantly fall back asleep.  I get up around 4:30 am, start my blogging for about an hour.  Get dressed for work, usually takes 45 minutes.  Fix breakfast. Eat. Clean up my small mess. Load the dishwasher. If time permits, do another product review. 7:30 am, I'm out the door and headed to work (I'm normally at work 20 minutes early).

Does this exhaust you, hearing this?  Just think...I'm totally exhaused after only 3 1/2 hours of sleep.  Gonna make for a LONG day at work.  Coffee, here I come!!!

This is one of my pet peeves and things that make me wanna scream! What is yours?  I'd love to hear it!!!  Surely I'm not alone!
