My goal this year is to work on a pirate themed entrance to the yard. I am hoping to build a deck to a pirate ship with wheel and all. (not to scale, but enough to make it look good). With that I am shooting for multiple skeleton pirates dressed up and looking as if they are attacking anyone who enters the yard.

My main goal is to be finished on time this year. Every year we are adding new props, scenes, etc. and before we know it is Halloween Eve. We carve approx. 30 pumkins for the kids, so by 6pm the night before I have to start the carving process. I am never done and thus I am up all night carving and use the daylight hours finishing up the yard decorations. Where I live, Western New York, the winds and the weather fight me every year so I am constanately fixing things that are blown over.
