halloween 2
Happy Halloween to all, and a Happy Halloween it was!
We had pizza, hummus, and donuts at the girlfriend's house. Good times! Dave took Malcolm out trick-or-treating to a few neighbors. I put on some haunting Bach, lit candles, and dispersed some treats. When Malcolm came home he seemed a little stunned, like "We have never done this before, isn't it bath time?". It was nice outside so the three of us sat on the porch steps to continue our duty of passing out the goods. That's when Malcolm really go into it. He busied himself by putting all the treats from the bowl into his pumpkin bucket and then back again. When the t-o-t'ers would come by he would put a candy in their bags/buckets/pillowcases. When he would see them coming he would say "boo". We ended up running out of candy and giving away most of his (better that way, I'm trying to not get a sugar head). By the end of the night he was giving kids high fives. He thought it was great. We came inside, the lights were still low and we took the Bach off repeat and let the rest of the CD play through. Malcolm was feeling pretty silly by then. We were all on the floor playing "chase the dog" and singing "one little, two little, three little pumpkins". It doesn't get better than that. Bath, bed, our little dog was pooped!
Leave it to me to wait until Halloween day to decorate for Halloween. So it won't last long, but it's cool that it even happened. I must say I was inspired by this. I gathered some sticks and dried out black eyed susans and did some dead flower arranging. I pulled together candles from around the house and the most haunting of books from our shelf: Bram Stoker's DRACULA, GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES (these are chilling accounts, really), and Roy Porter's BLOOD & GUTS.
With the lights out it feels like someone is looming over the girl in the painting.
The mantel even got some attention. Spooky!

Hi Sarah, I am so happy to find your site (thanks to Jocelyn for reminding me about it today) I am very impressed at what you were able to do last minute with the decorations! Very spooky. Malcolm has grown SO MUCH!! and makes an adorable little puppy. Well us in old Valhalla miss you three very much. Take care.
Sarah, which paint did you use on your walls? I love it.Malcom is very cute, and much bigger.
