We made a cool ghost out of a white sheet, a metal tomato/topiary stand strung with white lights and a magic marker face ooooooh - scary! I'll post some pictures after I get the camera situation sorted out. We also started on some spiders - we made paper mache' bodies and tomorrow we'll make the legs and paint the spiders black. We want to make scarecrows too, but there's a giant to do list staring at me, so we shall see.
Francesca has taken to taking my camera and snapping pictures. Her pictures are actually really sweet. Daddy, me, Cecilia, with our heads cut off . . . trees, flowers, sage, leaves, whatever is out her car seat window - life through a child's eye. She even took some self portraits, which are my favorite. She's been drawing pictures of herself and us a lot lately, all with HUUUGE smiles on our faces. The first one she drew of herself, she had a huge smile and her tongue sticking out and then made the face for me . . . pretty good!

Can't wait to see your new decorations. I'm glad we could provide a little inspiration for you guys. This is the first year we've gone all out at Halloween. It' been fun, as Hudson's really into it. It feels nice to create a new family tradition. I imagine we'll be pulling out these same Halloween decorations for years to come. Love ya!
