Halloween, Hurricane, Humping and Harry Potter

Halloween - Today is Halloween, my favorite holiday. I love it for so many reasons. I love the crisp smell of the air. I'm never too hot. I'm from Cortland which is in the heart of apple country. It is also the name of the most delicious apples on the planet...yes, it's true. The Cortland apple...learn it, remember it, taste it, bake with it and pat your belly when you finish a big one.

I also love costumes. It's a chance to become someone you're not or someone you want to be, if only for the day. And let's not forget the candy...oh the candy.

Anyway, since my kids are still technically little (6, 8, and 10) I figured that we should do a footprint project since they may not let me do that again for a while.

This is how it turned out:




What did I learn from this? My kids feet are HUGE!! Just to give you an idea. My husband's foot is the biggest one in the middle and his foot is a size 14. Mine to the right a size 11. I am really hoping that I won't have to order my boys shoes over the internet in the future. LOL

Hurricanes: Hurricanes, on the other hand, are NOT my favorite. What an awful week for the northeast. I am so very fortunate that my family was spared, though one of my brothers still has no power. We got crazy wind and rain but seem to have just missed the horror of it all. I am grateful that many lives were spared due to early weather predictions and my heart goes out to all of those affected. Horrible.

The only positive thing that came about due to the hurricane is that our local trick or treating has been moved to Saturday. This gives me some time to carve the pumpkins that I haven't had a chance to carve yet. Phew. ;o) (no disrespect meant, just looking for a silver lining)

Humpers: Our puppy is growing up so fast. He is now 12 weeks old and has started enjoying humping his towel. It's funny. My boys think he is dancing...that's funny. The satisfaction he gets from it is funny and his fuzzy butt dancing is funny. Sorry, but it is and I have to share:


 

Anyway, here is my WIP for this week: 


Lastly, Harry Potter. Why Harry Potter? Because there is a marathon on TV today. I want to sit in front of the fireplace and watch Harry Potter all day...if I had a fireplace that is and if it weren't so late in the day. ;o) Happy Potter makes me happy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

TTFN.
