This year, the hunt is on: We are desperately trying to find a Ninja Turtles Donetalla costume that fits Ayden. Parenting is surely fun.. It changes everything.Especially … Read moreHalloween parenting..
YOU’LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. Maybe never stream again, too.. If only my toilet looked like this amazing Freddy Kreuger version a friend posted on Facebook.. Then again, I thought I was having trouble potty training young Ayden now.. I could only imagine if this accompanied our trying times..
This story is true. Trust me.. I would never lie to readers… TONIGHT, around 6:30 PM… It was just another night at Horror Report home base.. My wife’s sister was here for dinner..
