halloween nostalgia
What a difference a few years makes! It seems such a short while ago Dane and Tate were making Halloween artwork, now they are fashioning their own costumes.
Every year, I bring out these seasonal masterpieces and hang them for the month of October. It reminds me of when they would proudly bring home something they’d made, usually carrying it with two hands so as not to damage anything.
These days, I’m lucky if their school photos make it home unscathed (after being dug out of backpacks a few days later, of course… “Oh yeah, we got our school pictures the other day…”). I’m not complaining, mind you, there are so many new joys with two middle schoolers but I am definitely nostalgic for the days of Halloween parades and classroom parties.
Enjoy every moment – it does, as they say, go far too fast!
P.S. The metal decorations are mostly from a design company called Tag. They are hard to find but some items will show up at Whole Foods and Crate&Barrel now and then.
