Friday's Funny - Funnier Because it is only Thursday

This is so how I feel this week after attending marathon meetings and preparing for those meetings and kids asking if they can have sleep overs and family birthdays and at some point here I have to do some bookkeeping...  I just wanna color!

Sweet Trick or Treats

Halloween was a success although I forgot to take pictures of the kids all dressed up - can you believe it?!?!  It didn't start to snow until we were on our way home and it was nice enough before that , the kids only had to wear 2 layers under their costumes and no coat.  (today the snow pants and touques had to come out though). So even though I had to cancel our big Halloween party I still decorated a cake and Mr. Bones joined us for supper.

Halloween Ha Ha

This one reminds me of last Halloween.  We went to our library where they were having a haunted house and we had some zombies tailing us for a little while.  When we got to the top of the stairs and to the "safe" part of the library, Nicholas who was 4 then lets out a huge sigh of relief and announced so everyone there could hear "oh man Mom, that really scared the poop right out of me!"

Hope Everyone Has a Spooktackular Halloween

The Three Little Pigs

My aunt is a lover of all things piggy.  So I went looking through that infamous "project box" beside my table and came up with this for her kitchen.  Got rid of a scrap piece of pattern paper I have been hoarding for every too.  My husband and kids however, felt that the wooden spoon would have been put to better use, whipping up a batch of cookies - can't please 'em all!

Something Wicked This Way Comes...

Or cute and a little spooky!  I finally found a use for my bright orange vellum paper.  Now I want to try out some Christmas ideas...

 

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Fall and most especially Halloween are my FAVORITE time/holiday of the year!  I have been busy crafting stuff for our annual Children's Halloween Party only to find out on Friday that this year I need to take out "event insurance" which is going to run just under $200!  So with a heavy heart I had to cancel.  I am so disappointed plus I had all these new and cool decorations for the haunted house plus 10 other rubbermaid totes filled with spooky stuff that I don't know what to do with (we live on an acreage where NO ONE trick or treats - hence the party)

So to cheer me up my mom asked me to help her make a Halloween birthday card for a girlfriend of hers.  At least Mr. Crow got to come out of the box for 10 minutes to assist with the photo.  The glitter doesn't show up great but the spiders are sparkly. Funny thing is that I picked up the branches  and web stamp for my fairy cards not Halloween at all! 

Goodbye to Summer

Enjoying one of our last nice fall days - if only it could stay like this until the end of November!  Well, really it would be nice if we didn't get winter at all but I know that is just not possible here in Northern Alberta - the white stuff is coming  :(
