Well it was bound to happen. We probably should have been prepared. All the signs were there – the wild mood swings, the growling. The maniacal grinning, the nibbling on naked toes. But we ignored the signs, and now we’ve paid the ultimate price. Tonight, Eleanor mauled us to death.
It was horrible. But everything leading up to it was tons of Halloween fun! Maggie’s nuts about Halloween and decked out the place for the season. She even painted her own little ghost pumpkins to haunt the living room.
We all had a great time carving pumpkins, but Eleanor was especially into it. She liked her pumpkin so much she tried to eat it.
We did a Sleeping Beauty pumpkin theme this year, featuring Maleficent, the baddest of the Disney villains.
Maleficent, the Three Fairy Godmothers, and Maleficent in ass-kicking dragon form.
Happy Halloween!

To celebrate the new season we all went to see our friend Stacy to get some fantastic fall hair on Saturday. I needed new fall colors and Eleanor’s hair had grown so long it was constantly in her eyes, as you can see in recent posts and the latest header.
“Ummm..okay but don’t take off too much. I’m trying to grow it out.”
“I love it!”
“Thanks Stacy! You’re the best!”
Afterwards we had a quick lunch with Grandpa Gross and Grandma Raisa and then headed to Lombardi Ranch to get our Halloween pumpkins. Despite the vast variety of pumpkins that have been put in front of her over all of these years, Eleanor was pretty decisive when she made her selection.
She even helped Daddy pick out his pumpkin.
She and Mommy had fun looking at all of the different squash.
“I like your new hair mommy. It looks just like caramel brownies. Thanks again Stacy!”
But it had been such an exciting day that Eleanor just wanted to go to sleep.
“Lets go home Mommy. I’m sick of this place!”
