Prepping the playhouse for fall

Halloween is almost here!  I'm getting my son's playhouse ready for fall and Halloween. 

Most of my annual wax begonias bit the dust with the frost we had Monday morning.  Time to pull them out and plant spring bulbs.  In the meantime, I put up some Halloween decorations and leaf garlands around his front door. Some glow-in-the-dark bats hang from his front porch railings.  A Linus "trick-or-treat" flag welcomes visitors and some ghosts and skeletons hang from his little tree.  The friendly Frankenstein keeps guard over the patio. My son's a little too young for the spooky decorations so I have to keep it cute.  I think I need to jazz it up with some cobwebs and some lights. My husband and I will have to put our creative heads together and see what we can come up with before Halloween gets here!

We have five garden pumpkins on his front porch (unfortunately the two biggest ones are starting to rot so we had to take an emergency trip to the pumpkin patch).  I need to get some jack-be-little pumpkins for the window boxes.


And we put some cornstalks on the deck posts...

The blue jays are having a field day swooping in for the corn!

Oh and I never showed you guys the weathervane we got for the playhouse garage rooftop!  You can just see a bit of it in the first picture.  It just came in early October! I ordered it months ago. It's a copper biplane with a brass propeller!  Isn't it cute??

Have fun with your own Halloween decorating!
