Halloween this year may have been different, but it’s our favorite holiday so we weren’t going to let it stop us from dressing up! In case you missed it, I also did a post on our house decor too so you know we’re serious about Halloween over here.

This year I kept things pretty simple and dressed up as a crow. The first reason being… 2020, and crows are notoriously creepy and the second… because our house is in the flight path of crows and every night we have hundreds fly over. Back to that creepy factor! I have to say that totally freaked me out when we first moved before I realized it happened pretty much every night. Usually I’m a big DIYer when it comes to Halloween but this year I just bought a few items to complete my costume to keep it easy.

Evan on the other hand, went a little further than I did. He also LOVES Halloween and always dresses up for work too. This year he dressed up as Powerline from The Goofy Movie! For his, he bought this ridiculous bodysuit and then we created an iron-on logo with my Cricut.

Then for Benji’s first Halloween, he dressed up as a Baby Benj Shark! I can’t say he loved taking pics for me but he didn’t mind the costume too much!

Then I saved the cutest for last… Little Squish as a little skeleton! It was also his first Halloween and he definitely won the cuteness award!

I cannot tell you how EXCITED I am to have a front porch to decorate for the holidays! It’s our first Halloween at the townhouse and whether we end up getting trick or treaters or not, the decorations were going up! This is the first time EVER in my adult life that I’ve actually had a front porch of my own and not just an apartment door so I definitely had a lot of fun with it!

Our front porch isn’t super big so we decided to also take advantage of our Juliette balcony for some decor! We added a skeleton we had, as well as some spider webs and lights. Since he gets s little windy up there too we also tied the skeleton to the balcony with some twine.

My other favorite part of our decor are these bats! How fun right?!

Next up is the front porch! Of course we all know the real stars of the season are pumpkins! We picked up a bunch of varieties at Trader Joes this year. I also brought out a wood crate we had to add a little height and give us more space to stack pumpkins. Add in some corn cobs and some lights and the front porch was ready to go!

Wreath: Option 1 & Option 2 | Halloween Ornaments: Similar

Another fun decor element is our wreath. I actually got this years ago when I was living in NYC and thought I was splurging (it was a whole $30 😂). What I love about it is since it’s black and silver I can change the decorations to match the holiday. In NYC this was more a matter of space, but even still I like having the option. So for Halloween, I add a spider and some Halloween ornaments. For Christmas, I swap out the ornaments, add some ribbon and a hanging snowflake. Then for Valentine’s Day, I add some cute heart lights. It’s nice to have something that is versatile!

To finish off our decorations, we added spider webs to our bushes with plastic spiders sprinkled throughout them. Then a few faux tombstones in our flower beds!
