Holidays and Rob

Rob’s parents divorced when he was really young. Because of this, he says they really downplayed holiday celebrations so there wouldn’t be any fighting over who spent what holiday with him. So, I’ve been the one to introduce him to many of my family’s holiday traditions. He carved his first Halloween pumpkin with me. I had to scoop out the seeds because they grossed him out. The other day he helped me put up cobwebs on the front porch. He had no idea how to do them, so I had to explain it. Despite not knowing some things he really likes to celebrate Halloween. He went out and bought a strobe light and some bloody hand prints for the front window. He’s a little worried that our decorations may be a bit scary for the little children that will come trick or treating. I kinda want our house to be the scariest on the block. I’m hoping to get at least one of the skeletons from home. And maybe a red flood light and the skeletal hand. I’d like to throw around some blood, but I’m afraid it would stain the paint, and I don’t want to have to re-paint the porch.

I’ve cut out the fabric for the nurses costume and got a zipper. All that’s left is to sew it together! Something for me to do Monday since I don’t have French class.

Right now I’m doing mindless data entry for work. Weee!
