Mephistopheles Has Started Decorating

So, we've started the decorating for Halloween House this year.  It's both a sad and exciting time.  It's sad, because our neighbors no longer decorate (they were the original Halloween House).  It's exciting because now WE are Halloween House.  Shawn, the neighbor who used to decorate but has moved, left us most of the cemetery fencing, window coverings (that make it look like the house is boarded up and condemned), and partial coffins (that look like they're erupting from the ground), so we're touching them up/repainting/etc to put them out.  We've already hung the bride and groom from the eaves along with some bats, spiders, and a huge spider egg pouch.

Changing from grey marble to beige marble for the cemetery columns

We drove to Illinois for the wedding and returned safely.  But I can safely say that Bishop girls between the ages of 12 and 18 months don't travel well for long distances.  Before that seems to be fine, and so far, the data suggests that after 2 years they're good, too.  Not great, mind you, but not screaming because they're too stimulated to take a nap.

As expected, Donna did not do too well as a flower girl.  I was actually surprised that she walked halfway down the aisle during the rehearsal before she started crying in terror.  I had to go help her during the actual wedding.

Over the four day period, Megi didn't really get any of her naps.  She normally gets at least two hour long naps each day.  Instead, she over the four day period, got about three hours of nap total.  :-(

That's all for now, hopefully, we'll have some decorating pictures to post in the next blog update.  Thanks for reading.
