Decorating for Halloween.....Barrett style

When I picked up Barrett from pre-school he was pumped up about decorating for Halloween...they must have talked about it in school that morning. I couldn't begin to tell you where all my decorating stuff is...and for that matter - I don't even think I had any Halloween (house) decorating items! Well, trying to explain that to a 3 year old was just not working - so off to Big Lots we went! I thought I might go ahead and get some cute fall decorations - and let that be it....WRONG!!! Barrett only wanted to decorate with Halloween stuff. We got a couple of things to put out front...and he had a ball decorating the area.

This picture was after we got home..he had to dump every thing out of the bag and sort it all out!



He picked out some window clings to put on his window...and he enjoyed placing those exactly where he wanted them to go...he thought he was just SO BIG!!!



He had to dig holes (so he thought) to put the things in the ground. I wish everyone could have been there while we were doing this...I laughed until I hurt! He is just so funny about everything he does. He had to have everything it "just the right spot"....his words for EVERYTHING!!! After Carson got home from school we went and got some pumpkins to put out front too. I love the fact that Barrett is old enough to want to decorate for holidays...that was always fun for me too!!! Carson never really took much interest in it, but maybe Barrett will be more like I am!!

Now we need Barrett to come by our house and decorate for us! Those pictures of him are wonderful. I want to know something: does he say, "Don't you wish tomorrow was my birthday"?
