The Creepy Baby Conundrum

All year long, Crystal and I have been collecting creepy baby dolls at various thrift stores with the express intent of mutilating them for our Halloween display. Last year we had a Halloween Crafting Party where we invited all our guests to go nuts with the limited amount of dolls we had at the time and got some excellent results - this year was going to be EVEN BETTER!

But then something happened.

Our next-door neighbor, who LOVES Halloween and always loads her yard up with witches and spooks just as much as WE do every year, got a terrible shock - her premature infant grandbaby died on Halloween :(

So now I don't know what to do with all these babies! It would be in EXTREMELY poor taste to decorate the tree in our front yard with dozens of babies in hangmans nooses (like I had hoped to do)... matter of fact, pretty much ANY Dead Baby decoration is going to be all kinds of *wrong*.

What do we do NOW?

Look up "steampunk halloween decorations" on Google Image Search. I think you'll find a lot of fun things.
