Finding Fall: Halloween Hauntings

Two days of Halloween are better than one, and why stop at two? The celebration is going strong at our house with the decorations still scattered around. We stayed in on Thursday, and I tried in vain to get Bitty to try building with homemade clay. The recipe was easy:

Instead of working it himself, he commissioned several pieces, which were then baked and painted. 

The tiger seems to have a five o'clock shadow since I repainted his mouth, but I like him more that way. It gives him an air of danger. 

On Friday, Little Bit discovered the scariest thing about Halloween: the fountain in the Green Hills Mall is drained to prepare for Christmas decorations. He declared it "a disaster," and "a BIG problem." Trying to get him a sweater for our family photos was even more harrowing. 

We trick or treated at two houses in the neighborhood on Friday, but Bitty likes checking out other people's costumes much more than getting candy. He's still talking about the man who was a cheeseburger. Bitty was Thomas, and he took his maintenance duties very seriously. 

Another successful Halloween under our belts. Now it's time to think about Thanksgiving!
