I caught it out of the corner of my eye up a side street as we drove by. I yelled at my husband to turn around so I could take a pic for HB! I wouldn't have gone to that house as a kid. Way too scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1206103 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 16:32:12 +0000 mlm2934 1206103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: OMG, that's crazy awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1206089 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 16:14:32 +0000 shopaholic 1206089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: HAHAHA!</p> <p>Yup! Our neighborhood decorates for every holiday it seems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1206072 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:53:50 +0000 wonderstruck 1206072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Holy crap, that would be terrifying at night!</p> <p>Our neighborhood is a mix. We didn't decorate at all...it just wasn't feasible with LO wanting to be held constantly and DH working as much as he does. Some houses have fall-ish decor like pumpkins, bales of hay, scarecrows, etc. And then you have the house across the street from us, who cover their whole front yard with tombstones and cobwebs and pass out candy right outside their garage, where they have a fog machine, strobe lights, a guy with a chainsaw, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1206055 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:25:35 +0000 Bookish 1206055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: whoaaa.

I'm hoping it's a leftover Halloween decoration...... </p> [attach=3209/13/mw0ib2.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180390 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:48:09 +0000 MrsSCB 1180390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in an apartment now and there aren't many decorations around it, but my neighborhood growing up went all out! There was also this one particular house that really went over the top and was so scary, but we could never skip it because they gave out full-sized candy bars, haha. I hope that when we buy a house it's in a neighborhood that has a lot of fun with Halloween! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180389 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:47:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1180389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sadieloo: @spaniellove: I wish my neighborhood is like yours!!!

Almost every house on the street has some decorations. We are prepared to get between 600-1000 trick or treaters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180374 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:40:52 +0000 avivoca 1180374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very few people decorate. We don't have a lot of kids and most of our neighbors are older, plus the neighborhood isn't well lit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180359 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:33:09 +0000 delight 1180359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: that's hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180321 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:15:34 +0000 fancyfunction 1180321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently live in a co-op development and some people decorate but not all.

Most everyone does a little Fall decorating, though. Mums, pumpkins, scarecrows, and corn stalks are common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1180157 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:11:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1180157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some do, most don't. My favorite one is the Pumpkin pie. </p> [attach=4024/13/mvej3q.600x291.IMG_00000210_edit.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1179741 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:06:09 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1179741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a newish neighborhood and the first year we lived there we were one of only a few that decorated. But as more houses have been built, people start having kids, and the babies are getting older, we are getting more and more people that decorate. Trick-or-treaters have also been steadily increasing every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1179737 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:04:53 +0000 Bookish 1179737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: @Mrs. Jump Rope: Neither have we. :p DH has never carved a pumpkin (!!) and so we are waiting til next year when LO will be really into it.

We stick to the pumpkins, mums and corn stalks ourselves because I'm not a huge fan of Halloween but love Fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-neighborhood-decorate-for-halloween#post-1179709 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:58:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1179709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I would go on or day after!!!

There's a house on a street a few blocks down that always has giant blow up decorations.

I actually just decorated yesterday - oops! </p> <p>I've got pumpkin pathway stake lights, Orange candy corn lights bordering our picture window. And two pumpkins we'll likely carve tonight. Gotta find my battery operated tea lights! </p> <p>Heading to rite Aid tomorrow at lunch to hopefully score some clearance decor items! </p>
