My beautiful young bride is a Halloween nut! If it’s creepy, ghouly, bloody, spooky, she’s all about it. We used to start planning our Halloween parties in March. This is the same woman who will stand on a pile of books and shriek until I come pick up the spider and take it outside. If she walks through a web, if a grasshopper jumps near her, if a moth wing brushes her skin she will run away, arms flailing, screaming in a pitch that only dogs and dolphins can understand. She has never seen any of the Friday the 13th, Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street movies. That is why I call her my Halloweeny. Tonight’s EDM challenge was to draw something related to Halloween. I just grabbed the nearest candle holder and off I went.
As for tonight’s Thing-a-day, well, it’ll all work out.
When Girl1, Girl2 and The Bride came downstairs this morning, they each had a new plush animal, HUGE mylar balloon and box of chocolates. We spent the entire day together at the Oklahoma Aquarium, the mall, and the bookstore/coffee shop. Another perfect day. The only way it could have been better would have been if Boy1 had come over. Maybe we can all do it again sometime. I got some nice sketches that aquarium, but I want to add color before I post them here.
