The Adventures of Skelly | Halloween's Final Adventures | Henderson Photographer

It sure has been fun seeing what kinds of trouble Skelly could get himself into this Halloween season. 

I sure hope this was as much fun for you as it was for me!

I just want to give a very big THANK YOU to anyone who followed along from the beginning. 

I appreciate you!

I'd love to know which one was your favorite.

Here are Skelly's final Halloween adventures...

 Yesterday, he helped with the pumpkin carving...

kind of!

And then he tried a few different locations on the porch so he could check out all of the trick or treaters.
I'm thinking he was hoping to scare them so they'd drop some candy.
To feed that sugar addiction, you know!

When the last of the trick or treaters had gone and I was ready to sit down and relax with my wine and a treat, he tried to hijack it!  I don't think so, Skelly!

Here are some bonus shots / Skelly outtakes that were never posted...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few of Skelly's buddies that have been hanging around the last month and participating in his adventures...

 

 

 

Very early this morning I found Skelly meditating.

I'd like to think he's reflecting on his last month out of the box and all the fun he had and trouble he got into.

Until next year, Skelly...

Thanks for stopping by!

I have been remiss at posting my daily Skelly's here on the blog! 

Here's what you've missed in the adventures of Skelly...

 He wasn't very much help with the decorating. 

He got tangled up in the lights!

And then he got himself into trouble drinking far too many beers while we were away! 

While the living are away, the skeletons will play!

(Thankfully it goes right through him!)

A little milder mannered the next day. 

Doing his early morning stretches...

And then he decided it would be fun to hang out in my sons marching band hat.

Later, I found him taking a little skeleton siesta!

Happy napping, Skelly!

Hope that candy corn pillow is comfy!

The next day was full of All American fun as Skelly and friend played some backyard skeleton baseball!

Skelly at bat for the Dodgers and his buddy catching for the Red Sox!

(Props to Amy for the idea and the tiny hats, catchers vest and bat.)

And who says those on opposing teams can't be friends?

Look what a great example these two are setting!

Tolerance, people, tolerance...

That's what I'm talking about.

After getting a bit dirty playing baseball outside, Skelly decided he needed to clean up so he had a nice skeleton soak.

The following day, I found him in one of the costume boxes.

I think someone has a thing for shoes!

(Or maybe it was just comfortable in there...who knows!)

Either way, he looks happy in there.

And later that night, this happened...

A glowing skeleton dance party!!

Looks like fun!!

And then Skelly and friends polished off 2 bottles of wine.

Really, guys!? Come on, now!

 This one is for Misty...

Ghoul on the stool! 

(*Patent pending :-D)

This shenanigan happened Saturday night at our open house. 

It looks like a skeleton crime scene!

Don't worry...no skeletons were harmed!

Just slightly covered in jello mush!

And now you're all caught up with his adventures!

2 more days until Halloween!

I'm sure he's bound to have at least a couple more...

Stay tuned!

And thanks for stopping by!

Day Nine- 

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

The Adventures of Skelly | Day Seven and Eight | Henderson Photographer

Day Seven- Hanging Around

 I guess Skelly got a little bored yesterday and decided to try some acrobatics. I found him swinging from the ceiling fan! 

He was enjoying himself and since he wasn't really getting into trouble,  I let him be! ;-)

 Day Eight- Getting their yoga on

Today I found Skelly and friends practicing their yoga. Good thing they're bendy!

Although, Skelly likes the corpse pose the best. Big surprise, right?!

Stay tuned for more adventures...

Thanks for stopping by!

The Adventures of Skelly | Day Five and Six | Henderson Photographer

I was remiss at posting Skelly's photo yesterday.

This is what I walked in on. I think he has a problem. A slight sugar addiction. He had found a leftover jumbo pixie stick and was having at it!

His face is a mess and he left quite the mess on my table.

Bad, Skelly!

Not to mention he was pretty damn hyper after that!

Day Six: Skeletons in the sun.

Skelly and his crew soaking in some sun on this glorious Fall day.

Hope everyone has had a happy Sunday!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Adventures of Skelly | Day Four | Henderson Photographer

Day Four...

How many skeletons does it take to change a light bulb?

Halloween decorating is in full swing in our house and Skelly wanted to help.

He changed this light bulb for me with a little help from his friends. ;-)

And what will they be up to tomorrow??.....

Thanks for stopping by!

And Skelly tames the big fuzzy spider and takes it for a ride!

(Too bad I don't have a tiny cowboy hat!)

More adventures tomorrow...

Thanks for stopping by!

Day Two

What's an adventure without your friends?

Skelly helps pull his friends out of the pumpkin they've been hibernating in since last Halloween.

The adventure continues tomorrow...

Thanks for stopping by!

The Adventures of Skelly | Day One | Henderson Photographer

I <3 Halloween! 

Like, seriously, looooooooove Halloween! I have loved it for as long as I can remember.

I think I have only missed dressing up a couple times in my 43 years. :-)

Thankfully, I married a man who loves it as much as I do, or we'd be in trouble!

Before leaving all our friends behind in California (sad face!), we used to throw a party every year. We went ALL OUT on the decorating. The house was decorated inside and out. Even the garage! We would come up with a different theme every year. It was so much fun! We lived in an area that got lots of trick-or-treaters, which made it that much more fun. It was awesome to see everyone's reactions. The kids loved to see how they glowed in the blacklights! 

Fast forward to our first house in Nevada. Great neighbors...but small neighborhood separated by a wash from the rest of the housing development, backed up to a very busy street and not many kids in our neighborhood to boot. No front porch to decorate. Halloween just wasn't the same anymore. Boxes and boxes of Halloween decorations going to waste. :-(

Last year was our first Halloween with a porch (small as it may be) and an awesome neighborhood with lots of kids so we went all out again! Everyone loved it and I can't wait to do it again this year. And also make some of the Halloween recipes I've been pinning! Yum!

Last Christmas, I enjoyed seeing all my Instagram friends photos of their Elf on the Shelf and the crazy things that each of their elves got themselves into...so I thought that I would do my own Halloween version this year. I am calling it "The Adventures of Skelly" and I will be taking and posting a photo of Skelly every day for the month of October. The creative juices are flowing and I plan on having lots of fun with this little project! I hope you'll follow along and that you enjoy!

Day One...Climbing out of the box and ready to get this party started!


Thanks for stopping by!
