    My fall Pinterest board is a bit nuts. Fall is by far my favorite season, and H and I go a wee bit overboard with decorations.  Our house is the one in town with the inflatable Grim Reaper, PacMan pumpkins, and whatever else H decides to get that year. We even budget in $$ for our decorations each fall. It's sad, but so much fun. We have 10 rubbermaid tubs full of decorations we put up, and we usually add 1-2 more each year.

    I would go UBER nuts if DH let me. He's got some unnatural aversion to holiday decorating (more christmas than anything). So our compromise is that I go crazy during fall and slightly less crazy during christmas lol. I would buy out pier one if I could!!

    I'm to the point of asking for gift cards to Pier One and Hobby Lobby for Christmas. Then I use them to pick up clearanced items from the holiday.

    What isn't helping is that it feels like fall here right now, and has for the past 2 weeks. So I really want to pull out my decorations and cook everything pumpkin. I even have chili on the menu this week. I just can't help it.

    I spent $90+ on fall scent candles at Yankee Candle on Friday. It's totally ridiculous, but they just smelled so good.

    I had a pumpkin spice latte Friday at our convention. I asked at Dunns Brothers if they had the Pumpkin syrup in yet, and the lady said it was in the back. So they went back and opened the box up and made me one. It was simply amazing!

    DH has a love/hate relationship with September-January. I LOVE decorating the house for fall and Christmas! He loves that I love it, but he can't stand all the "stuff" and how much more I buy every year. I can't wait to go buy new candles this year, too!

    I'm much more of an autumn decorator instead of Halloween, but I can't wait pumpkin coffee at DD and Shipyard's Pumpkinhead beer (although it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had an excuse not to drink either, HINT, HINT, BODY!).

    H keeps joking that my body just knows how much I like drinking all of the fall beers, so it's waiting it out till I've had each and every one of them.

    @poppies717 I agree, I decorate for fall/autumn but not halloween.  We get dressed up and go to a costume party every year and I feel that's enough. When we (finally) have kids I figure we'll do up halloween decorations then. and yes, HINT HINT to the decorating gods!
