It's Time for a Change

It's always hard to take down the Halloween decorations even though we love putting up the Christmas ones! It would probably be easier of it didn't take us most of October to get all the spooky stuff up! Kibitz and the Toad Witch stay out all year round, so why are they looking so worried? 

We have procrastinated so long that Thanksgiving is only three weeks away. So the Crew has opted for a transitional scheme while they shop for any turkey related decorations they can find. 

Burt suggested that if they removed the skulls, bats and Jack-'O-Lanterns, maybe the rest of the Halloween decor could be passed off as autumnal.

Both Burt and Mr. Pumpkin Head seem pleased with his plan.

Ivy's a little skeptical about his scheme but she's willing to give it a try. Burt's ideas don't always go smoothly but they usually work out in the end. For instance, not all of the candy from the raven bowl will fit in the acorn one so Burt has kindly offered to help out by eating all of the extras.

There probably were a lot of fall decorations in the stores before they put out the Christmas ones but unfortunately we didn't buy any, ha! So we'll have to make the best of what we have.

Ivy did find the velvet pumpkins and got Burt to help her pile them next to the fireplace. It's a start.

Then she braved the depths of one of the closets (known to harbor decorations) but all she found was Spenser.

It's okay, Ivy knows that somewhere in the basement is the perfect garland to go with these gold pumpkins - but not which bin it's in or how long it will take to find it! Maybe she should just set the only analog clock in the house back an hour and look for the garland tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!
