Holiday Marshmellows
Last weekend monster #3 went to a sleepover so her sister and I threw together a few chocolate covered marshmellos.
I guess kids were grabbing them as she got out of the car.

Welcome Halloween Tablescape
Well fall is among us and it's time for my tablescapes to come back to life. I had big plans on doing more this year but never got around to it so here is my first for the season.
Halloween
A friendly spider hanging out on a plate.

Jars of fire balls and eye ball gum.
I got these napkins rings last year at Kohl's they were like .74 cents each. I put them around black paper napkins beeecause.. years ago I threw out my black cloth napkins and just never replaced them.. I know I shouldn't throw stuff away.

I got these candles this year and had a few more than candle holders so I stuck them in some coffee beans and a small mason jar.

Everything but a costume
Well it's 4:20 AM the old 5:20 AM as of yesterday. But you know us folks out here in the East have wonderful Daylight savings time. What else does a person do at 4:20 in the morning.. that's right, edit pics and post on her blog for all to see.
Last night we went trick or treating with the little monster. Oldest monster went to a party and D well he was in another subdivision taking candy from little kids... Not really ..but maybe..
Again this year we hit yet another subdivision. Over the past 15 years I think I have hit every part of town. This one was on the boring side.. some people said cause too many kids were sick with the Pig Flu....Anywho----Along the way I stopped to wait on the kids and thought I would get some shots of the surroundings.. You never know when you made need a picture of a stop sign.. not just a stop sign. A stop sign with graffiti on it with the most beautiful blue skies behind. G thinks I'm crazy.. which I am but he don't want to admit it.. YET. He even said people probably think you are crazy.. How dare him.. call me out in the middle of the street with no one around. I just pranced on and said it was all in the name of my love for my camera and photography of strange photos.
Here is a picture of a storm sewer.. Love it...
Ornamental grass in someones yard..
The local dEaTh department.. I mean FIRE department ....stopped to hand out candy.. That was nice of them.
This is one of the 200 pictures I took of myself tonight.. and the only one you are going to see.. I tried to get a good one and in most I look like I have a Shrek nose.. so you won't be seeing any of those. My powder had caked all over my face. I looked like the living dead.. which was very appropriate for the night but not for pictures.
Here are the skies as we stopped to get foil so we could make our run to Chipotle for our free burritos.. Have you ever done this..? Just wrap foil around some part of your body... well not every part!!!?!!!! and you get a free burrito. With drinks and a special request of plain tacos we fed 4 kids and us two for 10.00.. not bad. oh, plus the $1.00 for foil.. which we wouldn't have needed. You can always find a roll inside the door or in the parking lot.
Here is a group that went all out. You see some scary creatures at Chipotle on Halloween.
Well now it's 4:35 old 5:35 and I think I will go back to bed.. I took Emma out for a minute and there is a full moon and a owl hooting in the distance... sCaRYYYYYYY....

Walk Down Memory Lane
Last year D went as Batman..
Probably 10 years before that he went as Batman..
somethings you never grow out of.
Now when he wears his Woody {Toy Story} costume Christmas shopping I will be worried. Let my clear this up... When D was little he wore his Woody costume Christmas shopping.... ... between Woody and Batman he was always in character.
Join us/them over at SCotTsVille for a walk.

Family time
Today we took the kids to get pumpkins. The girls were excited.. D not so much. He would have rather been playing in the dirt with the boys. Cousin D called all day giving him updates on the daily progress of boy stuff..
We always get our pumpkins from Biggs. They have really big ones for a low price of 3.99 each no matter what size. The kids always have to have the biggest ones there and if we would have gone to a pumpkin patch it would have cost us a fortune. I know,, I know.. buy local. Well we don't, that's just how we roll at Halloween. They each got two. The girls are going to carve theirs with great designs but D on the other hand.. one was for his own artistic work and the other.. was to blow up. It's a boy thing. 
D did put some thought into his. he worked on it for a bit and in the end said he had fun.. 
G's job is to cut the top out with a big knife.. I take pictures (of course) and sort the seeds.
Here is D's addition .. a half eaten Tootsie Roll and a Skittle.
Oh, and we can't forget the motocross guy.. Fraynk the turtle even has a Jeremy McGrath figure in his tank. D says it's keeps him company..
The 899 (his bike number) Pumpkin of wonder. Okay as long as we are spending time together I guess that's all the counts.
Here is Cousin D.. now earlier in the day Cousin D thought this was a stupid idea but once he got to the house he has fun adding his own VZ (Von Zipper- motocross goggles) to D's creation. Then they were off for a hour or so of boy stuff.
Little monster came up with this peace sign and oldest cut out a star on hers. Simple from the past years where they tried to make those decorative pumpkins with the layout things.
Then I took the guts inside to clean and sort and top with salt to bake in the oven for one of the seasonal treats the kids like.
That was our day. Happy Halloween.

Couldn't wait
I took this picture today downtown and threw some editing to it and it came out like this then with Picnik.com {my new favorite toy} I added the spider and text.
I love Halloween. we junked up the house a bit tonight. we have two skulls and some bones in a jar on our kitchen table. I know...I know...real healthy for the kids.. but it's Halloween. It's really not that bad.. maybe I'll take a picture one day..if I could only find the camera. ...
I combined my photos tonight onto one hard drive...guess how many GBs I have taken this year.. just guess. Leave your answer in my comment section.
