It was a dark and spooky afternoon -- in my basement

I knew we owned Halloween decorations. I remembered seeing Halloween decorations among the who-knows-how-many tons of belongings we have with us here. I was pretty sure I knew exactly where in the basement storage room the Halloween decorations had come to settle.
So this quest was going to require the use of these scary-looking keys:
And a descent to the center of the Earth -- uh, I mean down these stairs:
And a walk down this hallway, which admittedly doesn't look very ominous with the lights on:
The light in our storage room is burned out, so I had to carry a flashlight. With its help, I hit the jackpot:
Just to clarify, Owen wasn't stored in the basement. But hauling him down with me did make it a bit harder to hold on to the flashlight.
And now we have Halloween decorations in our apartment, including this doorway bat that allows us to still use the peephole if we so desire.

Love it - esp the expression on the poor kid's face. Too cute!

Owen is adorable! I love the pictures of Lago di Como. Che Bella l'italia!

I love Italian keys! Chris's mom sent me home with a bag of them saying I should use them in some sort of crafty decoration because they were so cool. I look at how long they are and think how thick is that door?!?
