I have never before seen people be so obsessive over Halloween decorations like they are here in Springville! Some pumpkins on a doorstep? Sure. Maybe some webbing with a small, black spider in it? Sounds fun. But a Freak Show Graveyard on the front lawn? I think that's a bit much.
This house is NOT right in our neighborhood (thank goodness), but it's on the way to the grocery store and I pass it every week. I had to stop and take a picture today. I think they add a new character every day until Halloween, because I swear every week the decor is a little more elaborate, complete with mannequin corpses and scattered, sawed-off body parts.
I'm adorning my doorstep this year with a few pumpkins and my front door with a little scarecrow that says "Autumn" on it.
I think I'm good for now.

While I was working on this post I looked down at the boys and they were nose to nose, holding hands in this pose. Naturally, as soon as I pulled out the camera they got big smiles on their faces. What can I say? I've trained them well. This looks like it's straight out of the Sears Portrait Studio catalog, all cheesy and what not.

My vote is for your pumpkins and cute little autumn scarecrow. The other one is a bit of overkill. I mean, come on, you'd think it was as important as CHRISTMAS or something! And I LOVE the boys' pose--they're such little Holmeses!
Wow yeah that house beats out any of the decorated houses in our neighborhood. Such a cute picture of your boys. Seriously they always look so happy!
That pic is definitly my choice for poster boys for cuteness! Too cute! I know what you mean about the Halloween decoration excess. I like Halloween and all but hello...
I put out a little Halloween jingle bell wreath I came across when I went downstairs to get green beans from food storage. A far cry from when Kelsey was home and put out all the "stuff"
Yeah, I guess I AM officially old...
Okay, that is my most favorite picture of the boys ever!!! I love it. They're so cute and I miss them. Braddock is feeling better, so we'll have to come over. I can tell my poor little guys is getting sick and tired of being in the house. Also, that Halloween house is dithguthting. We have one just like that here in Payson. I've never seen stuff like this til I moved here (??????????)
twins have got to be so fun! what an adorable picture and moment!
it's good to train them early. it took gracie forever to smile instead of get distracted by the shiny thing. i love those boys and miss them even more.
Wow- those people are a little freakish with those decorations. They sound a bit on the morbid side which would make any mother want to avoid letting kids trick or treat there. That is weird. Your pumpkins and wreath are very cute though. Oh man that picture is too cute. I totally want to have twins now!! They hold hands....so sweet.
Now I LOVE Halloween and we do throw a raging party at my parents...but a full on Halloween Movie Scene?????
At least you posted the best picture ever. Smiles and hand holding!!!!!!! I heart them!
Hey Cousin in-law,
I check your blog quite often and realized that I have never actually left a comment before; so here it is!
I really like the lay-out, it's very seasonal and pleasing to the eye. Of course, it helps that you have such handsome boys to post picture of. You have pretty good taste in music too (well, other than Wayne Newton). Tell Phil I say hello.

So cute. What is your secret? I've stopped trying to get Anderson to smile for a picture. He is too fascinated by the camera that everything else means nothing!

How fun, they are so beautiful and perfect. I love this picture! And they are holding hands, that is so sweet.
This has got to be the cutest picture. I love how they are holding hands. This is one of those treasured photographs. I love seeing your beautiful family. I hope you are doing good love, kerri
