Holidays: The Good and the Bad

Ellie is in absolute love with Halloween. Every car ride or walk is a search for decorations. "Mommy did you see those ghostas?" She calls to me from the back of the mini-van. Not sure where that pronounciation came from but that's it. The other day as we were pulling out of the mall parking lot I pointed out the "haunted house" to her (one of those pop-up places that go up every year that caters to teenagers and people who actually like to be scared). She was fascinated and pummeled me with questions about it all the way home. Was it real? What's in a haunted house? Why is a house haunted? Is our house haunted?

So. Many. Questions.

It's a total cliche but the whole holidays through the eyes of a child thing? It is pretty great.

Sidenote: I went to Target on Friday in search of an orange or "fallesque" kitchen rug. Couldn't find any because all the kitchen linens/rugs were CHRISTMASY.

Are you kidding me?

I was in a pharmacy last weekend (walgreens? maybe rite aid?) and all the halloween stuff was on clearance, and the Christmas stuff was all out. WTF? halfway through october and the halloween stuff is over already?
