Last Halloween… Before It’s Too Late!
OK folks! I know it’s almost December and we ALL KNOW what happens in December… But before we get into the the jolly fat man season, I submit to you, a final, last ditch effort of fun and recognition to my favorite holiday: Halloween! Yeah, I know I’m pushing it, what with the shopping malls all decked out in the holiday cheer with their music, Santas and sales! Some of you might even have the tree up, if that’s your thing, I know we do 
So please bare with me for this post, I got lazy and it took a while to throw this vid together, but I guess it’s better late than never!
This is the definitive Ingrid Witch video, I’ve put in some Halloween night footage of what the kids see when they opened my door, I’ve got some day footage as well to see more detail and finally, I’ve got some uncensored footage of Ingrid in the buff! That’s right people! Get and eyeful and see sexy Ingrid without her witch’s robe! Boing!!!
Anyways, it’s is a little long, but I wanted to put everything in as I wanted to give anyone else who might be inspired by Ingrid to have a little insight on how to build their own. After all, I too was inspired by a somebody else’s stirring witch prop, so it’s only fair to pass on what I’ve done!
Enjoy and Merry Halloweenmas!

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!
