I know this may surprise a few of you, but sometimes people let me babysit their children. Yes, it’s as big of a shock to me as it is to you. I typically start by giving them ice cream and Red Bull, then taking them on a few roller coasters, topping it off with a trip to the local McDonald’s. That, or I roll with my backup plan: stock the house with crafting supplies, kid movies, and holiday themed food. I went with the latter.
I bought a few mini pumpkins, spray painted them white, and gave the kiddos free range with paint. (Not to worry, I thought ahead and covered the table with a cheap tablecloth). See, told you I could handle this.
While they painted away and we watched Double, Double, Toil, and Trouble (okay, I watched – kids these days will never appreciate some serious MK&A movies like we did), I used Modge Podge to write BOO on my pumpkin, sprinkled with glitter, and made a friendly little pumpkin for my front porch. And by ‘front porch’ I clearly mean the two steps that lead to our front door. Ohhhh the day when I have a nice front porch will come soon enough. Until then I will be grateful I don’t have to sweep the front porch like those crazy cat ladies (who would ever want to be one of those?) <—- Life Goals.

Right!!! We can live next to each other with our cats. They can be friends.
So cute! And I loved all those MK&A movies! They were silly, but so fun to watch!
I know! But after watching this one with the girls, I could see it being a little dull, compared to today’s movies standards!
Great as always, Shauna. You know, just in case you run out of red bull, Jolt is a worthy substitute.
Haha thanks Rob! I mean I could always use Mountain Dew in case of emergency. Good to hear from you! It’s been so long since I’ve been posting!
Crazy cat lady here…no front porch though.
Haha you sweep off your balcony, I’ve seen you. 🙂
If you are a “crazy cat lady,” then I officially think that crazy cat ladies are hot!!!
Haha that’s only because you’re a crazy cat man!
You always make the cutest stuff! I’m sold with this glitter pumpkin though! Give me glitter anything!
