Hall of Ween

I can't let October get away from me without posting something related to my favorite holiday.

Matt was home by himself for a little while on his birthday while I was at Paul's cross country meet. Matt saw that I had forgotten to take my camera with me (I felt naked without my camera during the whole race. I had to tell myself that I have LOTS of pictures of Paul running and I should just enjoy watching him and his team run without having to get a good shot of him legging it down the chute at the finish line).

So Matt had some fun with my camera while I was gone. This is what I found on my camera when I got back:

Matt likes little plastic animals, especially bats. Several of the photos show this bat in front of the camera.

Here's another one of the bat. I think this looks oddly realistic.

I kind of like the picture. I might have to use it for a banner or a background or something.

And I really like this picture. The triple images give it kind of a distorted feel and distorted is a good Halloweeny theme.

One last picture that I took. I haven't had much time to do my own Halloween crafting, but yesterday when I took Hayley out to get her pink wig and a few more items for her Halloween costume and a costume for EJ (who made a request that maybe I will tell you about later), I saw this:

And I knew I needed it. I had noticed recently that I have been suffering under a marked lack of Halloween napkins (Oh THE HORROR!) and this fabric will fill that need wonderfully. The fabric was on sale too--40% off.  How could I pass that up? And if a certain daughter is good and does well in her college classes, she might find one or two of these in a package to go with her skull plates that I know she has.

Happy preparing for Halloween to all of you!
