Not so spooky Halloween decorating

Strange I know, but I have never been a huge fan of Halloween.  Even as a kid I wasn't really into dressing up and trick or treating.  I do love the fall and would happily decorate with fall decorations from October through November.  However...my kids enjoy Halloween and the decorations that come with it.  I believe that less is more and that simple touches make the best decorated spaces.  So...here are a few things you can do or make to add a little trick or treat to your own home without making your home scary.  If you want scary hop over to Pinterest which has plenty of spooky ideas.  In the event you would like to do any of the not so scary things below in your own home, the link under each picture will direct you to the website and it's directions.  The two painted pumpkins at the bottom would be fun if done with glow in the dark paint too...I'm just sayin'. 

Happy October!
