Happy Halloween!!
Saw this idea in a photo and had to try it myself…I don’t think my mailman cared for it too much!

Back in the day…
October 30, 2007Kailani, over at An Island Life is having a Halloween Costume Contest. I’ve been looking at everyone’s entries and thought, ‘Ah…what the heck’….
This goes back to 2000. J and OldMan are Frontiersmen and I am Raggady Annie in the Hood.
We had so much fun that year trick-or-treating…obviously more for us than OldMan. Now that him and Gremlin are older I’m running around like a mad woman trying to get their ghetto homemade outfits made in time.
As it always goes for most moms (and dads!) you’ve just about got the finishing touches on the outfit when ….”Moooommmm, I REALLY want to be something else!”
This evening I had OldMan’s Obi Wan Kenobi outfit and Gremlin’s bat costume just about finished up when I got that loving announcement from both of them. Now normally I would given them the speech about thankfulness for what they have, etc, etc….but I’m so stinkin’ tired! So instead I called my Mum to whine to her.
My dad answered.
Ok…I can whine to him. The response back?
“Oh really? Changing their minds at the last moment, huh? Kind of like that time we drove 10 hours one way to get you a really nice graduation dress, that you decided last minute not to wear? Or the time that you…”
“DAD!…Isn’t Mum there??”
{insert evil snicker from dad here}
Tomorrow? OldMan will be an Ultimate Free-Fighter (aka: wearing karate oufit) and Gremlin will be a Super G.I. Joe Forest guy!
Dear Santa,
October 30, 2007This week year has really sucked. But…
I think I have been a very good girl despite all that and I’ve got the awards to prove it.
Misty Dawn thinks I’m a bloggin’ Wonder Woman and I’m good for the community:
and Trinity thinks I’m a sweet treat..I mean sweet as a treat! and she appreciates my friendship. Shoot, even Gidge thinks I’m a good friend despite all the harassing I give her. See?….
This might be more on the sad side than good, but I even got this award and don’t remember who gave it!
Which kind of defeats the whole point of the award, but….
There are definitely days that I don’t feel sweet, nice, friendly, or like a hero, but these ladies are just a few that are to me. Actually, you know what Santa? Skip me and please make sure these ladies have an extra special Christmas this year. I’ll just head over to Rocks in my Dryer and try to pick up a few giveaways.
