Two for Tuesday: Spiders

It’s only a couple of weeks until Halloween, which is about the time that I’m ready to start thinking about it. Today’s two-of-a-kind has a Halloween flavour to it.

Halloween: Collection of Owls

While I admit that Halloween doesn’t top my favourite holiday list, I do like particular aspects of it. It’s common to see more wise ol’ owls in homes at this time of year, but their popularity definitely extends beyond October 31st.

20 Below: Spooky Skulls

My Halloween (and fall decor for that matter) consists of a lone pumpkin by my front door. It’s simple, classic, and easy. This year, I’ve doubled up on my decor; I’ve added a boo-boo-boo garland to my door to welcome the trick-or-treaters. Wild, I know! I picked it up from Michaels for only a couple of dollars. I was actually impressed (and slightly overwhelmed) by the selection of Halloween decorations at the store. Everything was 50% when I was there last week, and if I really loved Halloween, I would have bought quite a bit. (I was sort of close to buying a skull cake pan mold…I thought it might look neat drenched in white icing.)

Halloween: Collection of Costumes

I’m not particularly keen on Halloween. It’s really just a bit too spooky for me, and while I do like the idea of dressing up, costume planning mildly stresses me out. (What’s the Halloween version of bah-humbug?)

That said, I do think that these costumes for children are definitely awesome.
