Halloween...here and gone!

Such a PERFECT night for Trick or Treating! My girls are getting older, but they still love getting dressed up for Halloween. And I have to admit...I love making their costumes. Anytime I get to throw caution to the wind and be creative, it's a good thing.

Chloe was a "Corpse Bride." She had many opinions about what she wanted. We worked it out and came up with this. Her head piece and hair ruled.

I had to sort of talk Evalee into her costume, but since she is ALLLL about comedy and being funny - she caved and went for it. Now I have to tell you - this costume was the deal. We had people rolling all night. Fun!

Here's our neighbor Chuck. He always gets dressed up.

It was a great time...lots of candy...lots of neighborly nods and waves... I love how fun little holidays can break up the monotony of our lives and bring so many of us together to celebrate.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Loving the Fall....

I really love fall. Here are some pics that say it all...in the fall!





This one is on a water color setting. Subtle change. (crappy camera)


God alone on this one - completely untouched.




I had to slip this in there because it's cute. Do you know how much Heather loves Dine or Dash? Oh my word. But someone help me...why would you want to wait on kids, do the stay at home mom thing all day, only to relax by serving up angry customers who want their food NOW?!?! Just curious. She's cute though, right? Love it.

It's in...almost!

Here are some pics of it. I've still got to look through this copy... see if I can find some more typos - and to make some final edits, but for all intents and purposes, IT IS FINISHED!!!

Still to do: set up online ordering, a couple adjustments to the cover, ordering a bulk of them for our bookstore... should be ONE MONTH; that's what I'm guessing.

As you can see I laughed, I cried, I put it next to my bible.


Blessings!

Crisp Fall Day...

We went to a park (I don't know which one, of course, cuz that's how I roll...but it had trees, dirt, water, paths...ya know, normal "park" stuff. Chloe is looking old in this pic.

Heather's parents were in town for Ev's 8th birthday. I love this pic.

Can you believe they've been married for 123 years! Woah. I wonder why people don't stay married anymore. I mean, I know why, but I also know that something must still be broken in us. I mean, we are christians (most of us) people who are committed to making it work, to looking inside and getting things cleaned up and yet we are still at the same divorce rate as people who don't affilitate themselves with faith in God. Hmmm... anyway, this isn't supposed to be that kind of blog so I'll shut up and get back to the pics.

Aren't they cute though?!?!

Covered bridge

Favorite pic of the day. Being risky.

And Mimi. Always Mimi. Could she be cuter? If this dog dies, we are sunk!
