A few years ago, while my now-husband-then-boyfriend and I were at a costume ball, I got the news from two police officers that my Dad has died. Sort of puts a damper on the whole holiday and getting dressed up thing.
Now that I'm a mom, and my son is almost-2.5 years old, I'm trying to make an extra effort to embrace the holiday this year since it will be his first one getting dressed up and going out trick-or-treating.
One thing I'm going to be doing...
That's right! Our door will be mummified!
White crepe paper streamers, two white plates and two black plates!
HUGE impact! I think Owen will love it, and hopefully the trick-or-treaters will too!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We got him dressed up in his costume this weekend and I think it's going to be alot of fun!
