Decorating for Halloween

We've never decorated the yard for Halloween before. It's not that we don't have fun and enjoy Halloween, it's just a holiday we've never gone whole hog on before, but this year the boys started asking if we could decorate the yard. They're 5 and almost 12 and I want to encourage their enjoyment of the holidays so I bought a simple tombstone package from Walmart.
It came with the tombstones, the skull, hands and feet, the fence, the spiders and spider web, the rat and the flower. They had fun placing them in the garden.
We went out on Sunday and put this in the garden, before that the boys played Zombies in the living room all weekend. One would pretend to rise from the grave (he was laying in front of the big tombstone) and then he would chase his brother, zombie-style! They had a lot of fun. Now I will start picking up a couple of things every year and they can make the house really spooky!
