Bug likes skulls

Bug likes skulls.
He doesn't know why, he just does.
When we were in Mexico Bug and I joined some of his family members for a bus trip to Chitzen Itza. This is the site of some amazing Mayan ruins. It's also the site of tons and tons of vendors. table after table after table of stuff for tourists to buy. Several vendors had these elaborately painted ceramic skulls. Bug wanted one. Each time we passed a table of these skulls Bug wanted me to slow down so he could look at them. Finally Bug settled on a white skull with black markings.
Sometimes Bug joins me when I go fabric shopping. He keeps his eyes peeled for any fun skull fabric. I've made him a place-mat and napkins from a couple different skull fabrics he's chosen
Also Bug's collection of pajamas has suspiciously taken on a skull theme. For Christmas his Mom bought him a pair of skull pj bottoms and our friend Pansy surprised Bug with skull bottoms and an iron-on skull patch.
Value Village has yielded some skull treasures. Looking through the racks of shirts, I came across a comfortable looking top with skulls and roses inked into the material. Another time I found a heavy cotton scarf with a funky skull pattern. I wasn't sure what we'd use it for, but I bought it anyway. Bug, of course, loved it and suggested I could cover this block of wood that's used to elevate his snack plate. I stapled the cloth to the chunk of wood and voila! it now a funky block of wood.
One of Bug's favorite Halloween decorations is this weird alien-like baby skeleton. The thing has this over sized skull head and little skeleton body. Bug loves his alien-skeleton-baby. We hang it by the front door, so it can great all guests.
Whenever I'm out and about I keep my eyes open for anything skulls that Bug might like. Recently I was in Michaels craft store wandering about, waiting for an appointment. I walked down an aisle and found these fun little skull pushpins in black and pink. Very fun. They now live on the cork-board by Bug's bed to secure the pictures of shirtless men from last year's calendar.
Yes, my Bug likes skulls and he doesn't really know why.

Until the next time.
