Hope everyone all had a blast during Haloween weekend. This is a catch up post from the Halloween. Hubbie has been out of town for a week. Without me spilling my complains like crazy, I tell you this much, taking care of an autistic 6 year old and a needy 4 year old by myself is very exhausting. Every early morning of last week, one of them gets a nightmare and cries.

So what is a halloween without a horror story, right? Well, our horror story was -- actually a gross one. Remember the cute Mickey pumpkin we had?

Mickey's ear fell off on Halloween!

Hubbie had put it on top of the fridge before he left for China for a week. He was worrying the kids will mess with it. There were nails used to secure mickey's ear to his head so we didn't want them to accidentally get hurt.

The room temperature is too high. Mickey melted into a puddle of water and the ear falls off because of the main pumpkin gets so soft. We didn't notice till my daughter screamed. Of course clean up is a bit troublesome with some water leaked into the freezer session and froze.

Despite the little misfortune with our pumpkin head, we had a pretty fun Halloween. My daughter is her usual princess.  Last year she was a fairy.  What else? Disney marketing team should pad themselves in the back.
