Some Stuff!

I can't believe Halloween is this weekend!  Where does the time go???  We've been having fun with Halloween this year--the Community we live in has a Halloween party each year, and we go every year!  It was last Friday.  They have a costume contest too for different age groups, adults and family.  Each year Temple hopes to win for her costume and each year she doesn't win.  She tries hard not to cry but it's hard when you're a kid.  Well this year, there were no tears!  Here comes Dad to the rescue.

Charles decided that the 3 of us would dress up as a family and enter the family contest.  Temple and I were Minnie Mouse and Mommy Mouse, respectfully, with Charles, as you guessed it, Mickey Mouse!  And the best news -- WE WON 1st Place for family!  I didn't carry my camera so I don't have any pictures.  We were photographed by the Community's photographer and we will be getting a copy of the picture.  I'll post it when that happens.

Charles and Temple have put up the Halloween decorations out in the front yard, and I took a picture.

We went to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of nights ago and picked out a very large pumpkin for Charles and Temple to carve.  I also picked up a few mini pumpkins to decorate for our dining room table for Thanksgiving.

On an un-Halloween related issue.  I was having lunch in our breakroom the other day with my co-workers, Barbara and Sara.  Sara is engaged to be married to Seth and she was addressing envelopes to send out to friends and family, her wedding announcement.  It was such an awesome announcement that I asked her for one so that I could scrap something for her desk.  She'd already received a Robin card for her birthday and she said "Oh Yes!  Take 2!!!"  Barb and I just laughed!  So I created the below LO of her announcement and when I realized that it wouldn't stand on its own on her desk, I created the frame back.  I'll be giving this to her tomorrow--I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful evening!
