Halloween Spider

We are awfully excited for Halloween around here. It is supposed to rain all weekend (boo!) so we are waiting until the last minute to put up the outside decorations. Every year we try to pick up a few new things for the scary front yard and this year we let Norah pick them out. She LOVED the scary Halloween store and wanted the $400 skeleton that rose out of a barrel and glowed green. She didn't get it. Instead, she got a $9.99 pirate torso for the lawn and her new best friend, the $12 spider she has affectionately named, "Halloween Spider" or alternatively "Nemo Spider."

She carries it around everywhere, hugs and kisses it, and wants it to sit with her when she watches tv. She has repeatedly asked that it be allowed to take a bath with her and sleep in her bed, but we have limits, people!


I really love that she isn't freaked out by the Halloween stuff, but considers it to be a whole lot of fun. It must be the de-sensitization she got from Scary Lady last year!

I think the spider is scary but definitely not as scary as Scary Lady. She's reeeeaaaaallllyyyy scary.
