I could lie and blame it on being so busy with a newborn in the house. I won't lie. I just suck when it comes to decorating the outside of a house for holidays.

At a time when so many go all out in turning their front lawns into something resembling a horror movie set with music, fog machines, animatronics, I'm a minimalist. Okay, I'm lazy.

Here is my entire Halloween display in three simple pictures because, well, three is all I need.

First, the Happy Halloween sign. Store bought. Hung on an already existing hook leftover from the Christmas wreath last year.

Next we have my black spider web spread across the railing of the front steps and complete with large fuzzy brown spiders. No, really, the spiders are there, look closer.

Finally this gem of a pinwheel armed zombie for when the wind blows.

So that's it. Nothing lights up. Nothing jumps out. Nothing makes a sound. Nothing spreads eerie fog across the ground. So sue me, but Happy Halloween!
