Halloween: Last Days!
I’ll tell you, Aunt Ingrid is getting pretty antsy as her big day is coming up Saturday and she just can’t wait to get the kids… I mean, treat the kids to some candy on Halloween! She’s been acting pretty weird for a
while now. She’ll rarely come out of the basement, yet she insists we put pumpkins and candles everywhere in the house. She keeps saying it’s easier on her complexion. Other odd things have changed around the house, like the porch light turning blood red, and an eerie pumpkin patch growing in our front yard. I think she night be behind these mysterious additions…
Being the gracious hosts we are, I even had to clean out her cauldron for her! And folks, they don’t have self-cleaning cauldrons like we do ovens. I had to haul that bad-boy out on the back porch and scrub off as must grime and rust as I could. That thing weights a ton, like it’s made of cast iron from the middle ages…
She’s also insisting on eating her own food! Bizarre jars of stuff I’ve never seen are popping up in the house, some of which I’m pretty sure is not legal. She’s like making soup with them too… freakin weird ya know?! Never anything else! She just likes brewing up some good “home made concoctions” or “home brews” as she calls them between cackling laughter.
Also, she keeps eyeing Sam like he’s a big juicy turkey or something. Licking her chops and rubbing her hands together. Now I’ve watched enough cartoon to recognize that kind of behavior, so we don’t leave Sam alone with her at all. Every time he sees her, he shakes his hands and makes a “WoooOWoWOOOWoWoWOWOW” noise.
Well If he’s not enjoying the company of his great aunt Ingrid, he sure is having fun with the pumpkins around the house! Especially those with lights in them. Thankfully, Aunt Ingrid stays in the cellar by day, and only sneeks out in the dead of night, while Sam’s is sleeping, and doesn’t see him toying with her things…
OK gotta go for now folks, I see Melissa sweeping our deck with and old broom I’ve never seen before… Check back soon for some pics of the weirdness going on at our house this October!
Long Lost Aunt?
Seems like we’ve discovered a long lost aunt in the family, but she’s a little weird. She has these bizarre obsessions with children, animals and soup, which normally might be OK, but she combines her hobbies. She also loves cleaning, which explains her keeping a broom nearby at all times. Even stranger, she only comes by to visit us once a year, which is in the month of October because of some kind of convention at the end of the month. She says her allergies constantly bug her, which is why her eyes are always red and irritated, not to mention her dry crackled skin… Poor old girl!
Now, mind you, she’s a pretty shy lady that quite hates bright lights and camera flashes, which means I had to snap this pic of her in the dark…
