Skeletons!

I almost forgot about the skeletons post! I have had quite the month. I don't want to get into it here--I do *promise* to write a "real" post next week--because this post is all about the skeletons. Halloween is my very favorite day of the year. I don't have a ton of skeleton photos to share this year, but these ones definitely made me smile. The best part of the displays is seeing the creativity people have.

Valerie B sent me this picture of the cutest skeleton scene! I love that the person took the time not only to set the scene, but to paint the pictures of the skeletons that are posing in the background. Love it!

You know how much I *love* Tom Hanks. So I was thrilled when I saw these pictures from Valerie K. She said she watched all of his movies this summer, so she chose to set up Tom Hanks-themed skeleton scenes. Forrest Gump is my all-time favorite movie, and I definitely recognized Cast Away--love the Wilson ball!

This picture from Tara was taken in Fort Collins, Colorado while she was on a work trip. So funny!

This one is great--I love the idea of the lawn mower, but it's even better with the Wizard of Oz reference! This was sent to me by Stacy in Virginia, who saw it while walking in her neighborhood.

My friend Martine, who fosters dogs, texted this to me. I can't imagine handling all those dogs at once--hahaha, so cute!

Not very long after I got the picture from Martine, I went for a walk with my friend Jen in an area where I've done a lot of races. The park had scarecrows and cute little Halloween decorations from local businesses, and of course I had to get a picture of this skeleton one. It's funny how there are even different dog breeds. 

Another one from the park. I thought this physical therapy business had a fun display...

We continued our walk through some neighborhoods, and I saw this fishing scene...

This is another that was texted to me by a friend, who saw it online and thought of me. Sadly, I didn't get the reference! But to be fair, I'm actually a "Xennial"--born in 1982--so I was a little young to remember. It's from the movie The Neverending Story.

This is a clever decoration in an Aldi that Brenna sent. She said the name tag reads, "Assistant Store Manager"--haha!

Thank you, friends, for humoring me with the skeleton decoration photos. I look forward to seeing all the creative skeleton displays all year long.

Now, I'm going to head out to the garage to pass out candy and hopefully see lots of kids in costumes! It's nice and warm out for Halloween this year. (I really do promise to write by the end of next week.)

For more skeletons, here is last year's post and here is a great one from 2022.
