Wordless Wednesday:

Arrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: I miss you, Jessy. Not a day goes by that I don't. I wish I believed in heaven because if anyone deserves to be there, it's you. Maybe there is a special place for souls like you. Sending love to wherever you rest

Anticipating Halloween

I love Halloween. When I was little, we never celebrated it. But as a mom myself, I enjoy decorating for, preparing treats for, and especially, making costumes for Halloween. Little Berry wants to be a "Pirate Prarie Dog" this Halloween. I'm not sure how I'm pulling that one off yet, but I WILL try!
And I've been making costumes for my etsy shop-there are pirate costumes, dinosaur costumes, animal tails, and a very sweet fairy costume over there.
I love making costumes because they just *feel* magical somehow.
Last year we were all the Three Bears (that was really fun& memorable!) the year before that, we dressed up as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Little Berry was the CUTEST special agent ever.

Nippy

We made it to the pumpkin patch with the little one. We're in a neighborhood that's not all that festive but we've made an effort, and have a front door that looks ready to greet the hordes. Little Berry loved the pumpkins and kept trying to make off with them all. We haven't carved them yet but it will be done! It will!
It was a bit of an impromptu trip and as such we layered on almost anything we could find and don't look quite the part. I think they would look well in black and white but will enjoy these for now.


It's finally justifiable to say things like "we had roasted squash for dinner last night" and "I am so ready for a cup of tea"


In fact, as I sit here typing this, children scatter back and forth in front of our steps nearly dying from excitement and anticipation, the fireplace is going with a sleeping Little Berry in front of it, and my toes are a teensy bit nippy.
