I have an obsession with outdoor Halloween decorations. I love them!! Someday when my kids are older I would love to do a haunted yard with elaborate props. For now it's pumpkins and spiders around our house :) Here are some great ideas from
Better Homes and Gardens on how to transform your yard into a bone chilling cemetery. One of many great tips from
BHG is to dress up fake plastic skeletons with items found from bargain racks or at thrift stores. They made their own headstones, but you could easily adapt inexpensive foam headstones purchased at Wal Mart or even the Dollar Store. All you need is black paint and some clever verbiage.
Here are some tongue and cheek headstone names my family and I came up with :
Ben Gone
Anita Shovel
Ivanna Comeback
Barry A. Live
Dee Ceased Our beloved Mummy
Butch Erd
Bea Headed
Paul Bearer
Will Beeback
Ms. Terey
Rick R. Mortis
Frank N. Stein
Al B. Back
p.s. after we spent the weekend texting back and forth and laughing at each other's headstone names my mom informed me you can look up funny headstone names on the internet...go figure!
