Bloody Barbie Mummy

At the end of this Halloween Pie book it has a recipe for pumpkin pie.

Today we read the book and made...

PUMPKIN PIE!

For the first year ever we have bought a few Halloween decorations.  Tonight Sylvia asked if we could get five more.  Being in a good mood I said, "Sure! What kind do you want!?"  Here is her list...

-a half skeleton half bird with bird wings. -a skeleton with "plug cords" coming out of it's eyes. -birds with blood coming out of their eyes. -a fake cheeseburger with a mad face. -a mummy.

I explained to her as best I could that these Halloween decorations were pretty specific and I don't know if they will have any of these at the store.  I suggested that she could at least make the mummy with a Barbie and some toilet paper.  Here is her bloody Barbie mummy.  (The gruesome earing through the forehead was already there by the way.)

Yesterday at the cemetery when someone started up a chainsaw to trim some tree limbs, Sylvia asked me what that noise was.  I told her it was a tool to cut branches off of the tree.  She then calmly replied, "Oh, I thought it was someone here that's buried screaming to get out."

Valentine Decorations

A few days ago my kids received a package in the mail from their great grandmother. She had written them each a note, included a package of pocket tissues for each child and some pretty snowflakes. This morning those snowflakes were just what we needed for our Valentine decorations. Thank you great grandmother Kay!

While Isabel was cutting out the hearts she said, "Just so you know mom, I am not that great at cutting."  I said, "Just so you know Isabel, this is very good cutting practice."
