Shreck Was A No Show

It was a real shame that Shrek never showed  up.

Trav showed up for chili and to help Gma to put together a new book shelf
on Halloween Eve but the costume never showed up with him :(

It's probably all my fault because when he was a child

 we never did do much for Halloween.

Seems like they were always GI Joe wearing their camo hunting clothes.
Not real original.

I've never cared much for Halloween.

My DIL, the GRANDgirls mother, who worked

so hard her big freckles faded off during her work day.

Aunt Jor Jor, Fiona, with her friend from school, the Nerd.

Rea and Shel on the back.

The GRANDgirls

Family friends who came to trick or tread with our girls.

My MIL as the Red Headed Devil.

Shelby and Reagan's GREAT-GRANDma and Aunt Jor Jor.

Another year of silliness over with!!

Thanks heavens!!!!

The Thoughts Make Me Sick

Take 30 pounds of Apples. 

And a spanking new wash tub.

And a crowd of cute kiddo's and you get this.

My assignment for the Primary Fall Festival, Apple Bobbing.

My Shelby went first (thank goodness)
 Reagan is a smart girl, she wouldn't even try it.

The thoughts of apple bobbing in the midst

 of cold and flu season just grosses me out!

All those germs just swirling around and around

makes me gag. I had a hard time even thinking about it

but fortunately most of the apples had nice long stems

and I encouraged the kids to pick up the apples by the stems.

That was very easy and most those little ones

were able to do just that :) Yay!!

This is my darling DIL. She is dressed as Fiona!

She always goes all out and enjoys herself.

Sad thing is, she has a Shrek costume for

Travis and he wants NO part of it!

She's got a few more days to talk him into it.

Wish her luck!

Mellow Yellow Monday

Finally! A baby blankie!

My niece Tara was in town for a wedding and

 she came all by her little lonesome without her little family.

I had been wanting her to myself :)

for a private lesson on how to make this little blankie.

She had posted a tutorial and part 2 on her blog almost 2 years ago.

For some reason I just couldn't figure it out.

So after a very busy weekend we got to it last

 night and finished right before 9:00pm.

Didn't take long at all.

I was thrilled to finally master this little blankie and

now I had better make another one quick

before I forget how to do it again.

It works great for my Mellow Yellow Monday.

This Egret sits high up in the top of this tree.

Another Cute Little Friend

Master "B." is a real charmer.

Such a joy to photograph.

The whole family was so delightful.

It was really a fun afternoon.

Wish they were all this easy.

This Little Piggy

 Something about seeing this cute pig out for a walk just makes 

children want to pick it up and give it some love.

Then you know what comes next don't you?
Awe... it's so cute!Can we please have a pig?

Um... NO!

Way off the road but I loved that I got the cotton patch in the picture.
