Halloween Costume...Made Simple

I only thought I was through with Halloween costumes and elementary school parties.

But then....we had a little five year old come to live with us.

Last year, we did not go and buy a costume.  He knew what he wanted to be.

He just went to his closet and came out like this.

This year he dressed up like this for his school party...

I think I see a pattern forming here.

Living in the country has it's advantages...there are always cowboy clothes in the closet.

I made a healthy snack for his Kindergarten party.

These little oranges are filled with mixed fruit.  Cute huh?

Okay, okay.  Artist I am not.

The kids seemed to enjoy the fruit snack, despite the art work.  Hey, one little girl even wanted to take hers home!

A fun time was had by all!

Do you guys sneak candy out of your kids Halloween stash after they go to bed??

Of course, we don't.

We couldn't.

That would be terrible.

Have a safe and happy Halloween.

And remember...

Be very, very quiet as you sneak some of your kid's candy.

And do it in small amounts.  It's less obvious.

Just sayin'.

Monday Madness

Since it is Monday Madness around here, I decided to re-post my most popular post.

Does that make sense?  Oh well, if you love Ree and Charlie, you might like this.

The Middle Of Nowhere...Defined

I have always casually told city folks we live in the middle of nowhere.

You know, like, the closest stoplight is forty seven miles away.

In any direction.

The closest Starbucks is three hours away.

I'm just telling it like it is.  We live in the middle of nowhere.

Here is the living proof.

That little spot in the middle of the picture is our Casa.

No, I am not kidding.

This is a little closer view.

And thanks Pilot Randy!
