Glitter Spiders abound - within reach of a toddler.
This doesn't bother me, but Mr. Right says it's because I don't have to vacuum the stairs, he does.
I wasn't actually going to decorate for Halloween at all.*
In fact, I am skipping this years big part-ay and even my own costume hoopla for something else.
In fact, I didn't even do the kids costumes this year.
Doing costumes ahead of time is fun.
Doing costumes last minute is not.
Huh-looo - for me, October 15th, this is a bit last minute.
Instead, Mr. Right dragged our costume bins from storage and let the buggers rifle through for something resembling a costume.
(See my Facebook for The Pirate's chilling display of creativity.)
If you live in our area: really, reeeeeally don't expect much from us at the Trunk or Treat.
Instead:
I ate chocolate and slept (ha ha ha) while the girls spread Halloween fear thru the house by purging the contents of the Halloween bin willy-nilly.
Ratty black fabric chucked onto our ceiling fan.
Then they showed me around.
I call this frightening scene Spiders in the Snow.
And, proud moment, I'm leaving it all where they put it.
For the next 2 weeks no less.
What's shockingly scary here is the wanton attitude towards
toddler safety and twinkle light.
Anyway, I'm really glad and excited about this because it is proof that I will not be messing up The Pearl's early life as much as I did The Princess's early life with my own perfectionism.
Ahhh...she's going to be soo much more stable than the other three.
*Y-up. We celebrate Halloween
