Re-try on Halloween

OK, so let's try this again, anyway, Halloween.  Hailey was a Purple Punk Witch, as I said.

Still thinking this fits her perfectly.  She loves purple, she is a punk, and well, the witch outfit is just cute.

She really loves the whole wig thing.  She's been wearing this wig every day since Halloween.  Of course Mom draws the line at wearing it to school.

"Wow!  Look at all this loot!"

"Look Dad, it's a tootsie roll!  Aren't these your favorite?"

As I said earlier, I will be having a give-a-way on this site.  My computer needs to go in to the doctor.  So I will be off line for a little while, BUT I am going to post a giveaway here while I am out of commission.

I leave more details in day or two.......stay tuned!

Halloween...

Well, who knew my digital camera had a memory of it's own.  I mean without the little card in it.  I learn something new every day I swear......

Anyway Hailey was a Purple Punk Witch for Halloween.  Right up her alley if you ask me!

Big cheesy grin and all.....


OK, now I'm having issues uploading pictures...

I will post more later.

Stay tuned for a giveaway from this site..............

Pumpkins.......

We carved pumpkins tonight.  Usually we carve at least 4 or 5 but this year Halloween has snuck up on us.  We only did one for Hailey this year.  The neighbor girl had a pumpkin so Mark let her bring hers over and he did one for her too.

Mark cut the top off then the girls got them good and cleaned out.  My job is to transfer the pattern to the pumpkin, then Mark does the carving.  He has gotten pretty good at it now.

This one is Hailey's pumpkin........

(OK....I can't get this to turn....it's right on my computer.)

This is Kayla's pumpkin.......

She really liked this one.  She was so excited to get a pumpkin, they are not allowed to trick or treat.

Well, hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween.  I'll post Hailey in her costume tomorrow.

In Loving Memory.......

I'm terribly saddened today, in fact, tears slide down my cheeks as I write this post.  A terrible tragedy has taken the life of a dear dear boy that I have known since he was approximately 3 years old.

He's 17 years old and a senior in High School, and his life was tragically ended this Sunday.  I cannot go into details, nor do I really wish to.  I will miss him terribly and wish with all my heart I could be with my friends now to hug them and support them in their terrible time of grief. 

Such tragedy........I have always believed everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes I do not like the things happening and do not agree with them.  They can be incredibly difficult to accept......but I have always stuck to my guns......until now.

Why?  Why such tragedy?  Why him?  Why now?  Why in this way? WHY!?  What could POSSIBLY be the reasoning?  My heart aches, for the loss of a truly beautiful soul and for a grieving family trying to make sense of it all.......my dear friends.

In LOVING memory of Augustus.........

We love and miss you now and forever..........

Gentrie.......
