Hooray for October!

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my Pinterest post. I now have a lot of good tips to try.

October is here! It’s my favorite month of the year. The cooler weather. The changing colors. My birthday. Halloween. What’s not to like?

I decorated my house last Saturday, and for the first time since living here, I had to change my displays. Normally, I arrange my decorations in my family room, but the cats have turned all the surfaces in that room into a racecourse, so I can’t set anything out there anymore.

Instead, I focused on the dining room. To my surprise, my spooky items look great in there. Who knew?

So far, the cats have only knocked over the trick-or-treat bears on my dining room table and ignored everything else, so I think this new arrangement will work. Plus, I smile every time I walk past the dining room.

Do you decorate for Halloween? Have you ever tried putting things in different places? I wouldn’t have thought to if my cats hadn’t forced the issue, but I’m glad I did. I recommend trying even if you don’t have cats that are into NASCAR (or NASCAT as we call it in my house.)
