All cleaned up

It always amazes me how it takes 2 months to set up Halloween and 3 days to put it away.  This year his Lordship reclaimed his garage and banished most of the storage containers to the laundry room.  I think they will stay cleaner in there so I gave in. Just hope I have the space to wash clothes. Only three spooky things get to live in the house year round - the taxidermy bat and two spider sculptures. I have been dusting, cleaning, running laundry, climbing ladders for the past 72 hours and I think it's done.  Except in 3 months when I open a drawer and find a bag of  plastic cockroaches - always happens.  Hope your clean up is going well and that the post Halloween depression is not to severe this year. 

On a scarier note, I always put up lots of paper rats silhouettes at Halloween.  Well last night while watching TV, his Lordship and I heard the scritch, scratch of a real one!  Time to call the exterminator as they are moving in for the winter.  Yikes!

The chosen few who get to live in the house year round

    So long as it's only a bag of plastic cockroaches and not real ones, you're doing okay!

    well I did not sort anything. From what I read on your blog, you are making keep or give away decisions. That takes me a lot longer too :0)

      Thank you Countess - we get that at the Manitou Arts Festival over labor day and that's why they get to stay out because they are art!

    Of course the taxidermy bat would be part of year round decor! You don't take a Rembrandt or Van Gough and store it away just for special occasions!
