Cute or [candy] Corny?

Now that it is "officially" fall, I thought it would be a good time to start decorating for the season. Okay, that's a lie. I was really in the dollar store and found some decorations and thought that I would get some stuff to put on my porch. No preplanning done whatsoever. So with the stuff that I got at the good ol' Dollar General and Big Lots, I made a dorky, sad little display. But it was cheap and I knew I had to act fast. Which brings me to one of my BIGGEST pet peeves with stores. It. Is. September. NOT December, NOT even November, and NOT even October for goodness sake!! Funny, Halloween is still a month away and I would have been hard pressed to really find any Halloween stuff. They were moving out the Halloween and Fall stuff already and had Christmas stuff up. I guess if you need Halloween stuff, you need to get it in July or August and don't even worry about Thanksgiving. Stores might display Thanksgiving decorations for like 3 days in early September. So that is my MEMO to stores, try to not go too psycho crazy and start making us think about Christmas before Halloween has even passed!

That was me getting off my soapbox if you were wondering.
So here are some pictures of the stuff that I scored.
I love these pumpkins. Go Dollar General!
I got these little leaf plates for cheap and the Give Thanks thingie at Big Lots.
My little display at the door.
Sad wreath. But it is Orange and Red without a bunch of fake leaves on it!So what do you think? This stuff a Trick or a Treat?
