Dem Bones!  

On with the Halloween-themed posts. I've already covered bats, witches, vampires, and pumpkins. Can't leave out our bony friends of the skeletal variety.

Which do you prefer? This?


Or this???



Tough choice, I know!

Wordful Wednesday—The Great Pumpkin!  

On with the Halloween-themed posts. I've already covered bats and vampires, both topics being a bit on the scary side (unless you are an Edward lover). So... I thought today's post could be about something more friendly—like pumpkins. So, enjoy a little orangey goodness from these pics!


Our garden produced 36 pumpkins this year. Remember, this is the garden we didn't plant, water, weed, or attend to whatsoever. So... the garden gets all the credit for these babies while we simply get to enjoy them in their many varieties of size, shape, and color!

Gardner Historic Village not only had a plethora of witches milling about. It also provided plenty o' pumpkins to snap pics in front of. Of course, my favorite variety were the pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies. But, didn't get a picture of those. I couldn't wait to eat 'em! Yummmmmmy!



And, here is Red Rover and Chatter Box, done with their sugar cookies and beyond tired of all the picture taking—beautiful pumpkins or not.

Happy Halloween!

Witches Brew!  

Last weekend, we went on a little family excursion to a place near Salt Lake City, UT called Gardner Historic Village. This is one place that does Halloween right. I kicked off my Halloween posts with yesterday's batty tale (see next post). So, today, I decided to share pictures of my weekend family outing with you, a bewitching one at that. Hope this gets you in the mood for Halloween. Enjoy!

WW—Halloween Is in the Air!  

My favorite pic of Halloweens past is this one of my boys in their Thomas the Tank Engine costumes. These were made by the loving hands of T-Daddy himself. Aren't they fabulous?
