Getting ready for Halloween!




Halloween is starting to show up around the house! While most of the decorations are not yet out, I did purchase a $12 spider that falls down the wall when you clap. Then his eyes blink and he crawls back up. This was a big hit with both boys, although Xan is the one who insists we clap for it. He has also learned that if he hits the nearby stool with a plastic sword, he can make the spider move. Xan also got a fun surprise in the mail ... a jack-o-lantern binki! This was from Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Paul. Will got a cool light-up pumpkin pen! And even Slade is getting in on the act, trying out his ghost costume. (He really just likes to be covered up with a sheet now that the nights are cooler and sometime he just has to poke his head out to see what's going on.) Can't wait to see what the rest of the spooks have in store!

Don't you just love Halloween?? I do! Thank you to Xan for showing us how his spider works. I may just need to get one...
