When I was about 10, I was desperate to put Christmas lights on our house. My parents had never put lights up before so I took it upon myself. I got out the Scotch tape and a few strands of lights and did my best to adhere them to the stucco. I spent the next few days frantically trying to keep up the lights that kept falling down. Scotch tape and stucco are not a good match! It was the saddest thing. No wonder as an adult I can't wait to put lights out for any occasion!
I spray painted some branches black and wrapped them in orange lights:
The 10ft tall Scooby is our annual staple and makes the kids giddy.
Now all we need to put up are our spider webs, pumpkins, and the head ache inducing lightning strobe light sound effects machine.Happy Halloween!

My kids would really love me if I decorated like that. You are so funny about the scotch tape! What a great childhood memor.
Your kids must love you being their mom. I am quite the party pooper when it comes to decorations - except maybe Christmas. The giant Scooby takes the cake though! = )
As soon as I saw the Scooby, I heard Russ' Scooby voice saying, "rot-row!"
How fun!
