She was pointing to the huge fake spiders that were part of the Halloween decorations at her school. She was bursting with excitement pointing to the spiders, spiderwebs and pumpkins.
“Mommy I want a spider too!”
“Ok.”
“I want a pumpkin too!”
“Ok”
“And spider web”
“Ok”
“I want three spider. OK?”
“We’ll see if the shop has three”
“I want three pumpkin”
Three is a hot number these days!
So off they went to party city where for the first time in her life, mommy bought Halloween stuff…...spider webs, spiders (Yes three! the little monster wouldn’t budge. She even reasoned that mommy, daddy and she needed to have one each).
Next stop, the pumpkin patch. The little monster chose three pumpkins. Since she wanted to carry the pumpkins but they were too heavy for her, mommy let her buy a couple of mini pumpkins. An excited mommy also bought a wooden sign that said ‘No Tricks’.
Then they spent a perfect breezy Saturday afternoon using their decorating skills (or lack there of) on the front yard. The little monster of course ‘helped’. While mommy was busy trying to untangle the tangled mess that the spiderweb was getting into, she saw the little monster run to the back yard and return with a fistful of dry grass. The little monster spread the grass on the ground and then put her mini pumpkins on top of it.
“What are you doing honey?”
“I making a pumpkin patch”
Mommy thinks she was trying to replicate the haystack on which the pumpkins at her school were placed.
All in all, the monster seemed satisfied with their little Halloween decor. Meanwhile mommy wondered what she was gonna do with all those pumpkins once Halloween was over. Little did she know that she would never get a chance to figure that out. One evening when she returned home, she saw that some real monsters had stolen the pumpkins and the wooden sign. The little monster was heartbroken. All that was left was the rain damaged spider web, three spiders and these pictures for posterity…

Apple's gonna be winnie the pooh. She picked the costume herself. First she wanted to be 'Bow Mikey Mouse'(minnie mouse) so we went to the disney store looking for a minnie mouse costume. But she'd have to wear a headbandwith it shich she din't want to. So I told he to pick something else. After going back and forth between Nemo and pooh she finally picked pooh. What is Ina gonna be?
Poor lil girl! How did you pacify her about the stolen things? I know if it was Anirudh he would have just flailed his arms and bawled his eyes out till we got new ones.
The pics look great! The spider web looks as if no one cleaned the web for years :D
