I suggested that we put away the Halloween decorations. Actually, I just grabbed a big bucket and started loading up the ghosts and witches and skeletons. Bad move. The child loves Halloween.
So I let him pick three things to keep out. He chose knitted jack-o-lantern coasters, a big orange skeleton to hang in his room, and a foam haunted house that he decorated with stickers.
And he reminded us that we had not yet made a zombie this year. Remember Big Bill from last Halloween? Apparently it's now a yearly tradition we've started. Who knew.
But, it turns out that we're lazy. No one except Cooper really wanted to find a straw bale and old clothes and put together a zombie. So we compromised and made a small inside zombie by stuffing old Cooper clothes with newspaper.
Meet Little Bill:
Here's hoping we can put him away before it's time for the Christmas tree...

I don't know, I think Little Bill would look fanTASTIC in a red velvet Santa hat. But poor Cooper! I don't blame him for being bummed--Halloween is the most awesome holiday. I wish we could leave the decorations up year round, too.
I literally chuckled for about an hour with this one....great stuff.
by the way, nice work making a little boy cry...I hope you feel good about yourself.
