Wow, some of you are really hardcore

I just want to get home, pack it up, make a list of things to fix for when I pull it all out next september!

I have to put everything away from last night so I can start my 2012 to-do list! The clock is ticking!!

Haha! This is the first year where I really will be working on Halloween all year...my wife has decided my 40th Birthday, which is in October, will be a deadman's party. So she's already requested I work on stuff like a toe-pincher (which has to be done early enough to be on the invites). 2012 will be my first *year* of Halloween and not just a month or two...

How many days did you say were left?

2012 is well underway over here! We've got it all planned and sketched out, and have started gathering materials. I'm tweaking our existing props and making new costumes and hands for the characters we already have, then I'll start building the new ones. We're building a facade of a tudor village to cover our house and adding either a garage or backyard walk-through, so we'll need every second of building time we can muster this year! We also hit the Halloween City 50% off sale this morning and picked up some new fog machines and juice, a bubble fogger, plus some skellies and pumpkins.

Making my list for next year, most of this year was spent on upgrades only one new prop a reaper (how i did to follow)

Arrrrgggg! 52 weeks that doesn't sound like much!

Historically, I've thrown together a few props in the couple of weeks before Halloween. In the past few years, that moved out starting about the first of the month. This year, it seemed like I at least started on a few props in late August/early September.

Though I will say...this year just didn't 'seem' like Halloween as much. I don't know if it was the fact I was working on it for months ahead that when the night finally came, it was almost a non-event, the fact it was on a Monday night (ick!) the fact the weather was unseasonably warm - making things seem more like late summer than mid-fall. Or maybe just the face the previous year seems to have flown by! It seems I hardly had time to put things away from last year before dragging them back out this year!

I'm surprised there was time for that 'what-ever-it-is-that-happens' to happen and cause half the things which were stored in working order to be malfunctioning when unpacked and powered up!

We were in a big rush this year, so we spent the last few days working non-stop. I find that there are about 10 things on my prior TO DO list that did not get done. While the display will be up until this weekend, I am going to continue the TO DO list, as if it isnt already over, and go on with the repairs and such that need to be done. That makes it all to easy to begin on 2012!
