Will do! Not a costume per se, but I did buy a retro jack-o-lantern Henley that I plan to wear-it glows in the dark =]

Good luck to your kids Brad!Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!
The play was a hit last night! The catered dinner was great, too, but the kids did an awesome job! Jacob (cousin Zeke) was playing an old banjo of mine throughout the production, Shakespeare and the Hillbillies. Elizabeth was Aunt Marmalade, and spoke with a great Smoky Mountain accent. I'm sure Mgramsey knows what I'm talking about.
They have another rehearsal this afternoon, then the competition is tomorrow. I believe they'll place!
I hope y'all have a great day!
They sure are!!They are such cutie patooties!
Yeah that word does not bring back good memories.
I'll keep her in my thoughts <3
Yeah or below zero EVER!I agree Coen! Love cozy music on snowy or dreary days!!
I hope to not drop below zero for a long time yet. LOL!Enjoy your day!
Sounds as friendlys Nitro
...he doesn't really like strangers coming to the house. He gets upset.
I think Halloween should be on a weekend always. I'm not sure why they can't make it the last Saturday of October ever year. Would really help the kids out and you could always have a rain date.
Good Morning, MerryBells!
Happy Pines Day!
Hope you & your hubby have fun at Gravity Hill! Sounds really cool.
We have set {requested} times here, too.
That sounds crazy!!! Have a great time. Enjoy your dreary day at work...
And the tea!
They started it here several years ago...probably longer ago than I realize. They start with a Halloween parade around town & then all the kids go off into their neighborhoods for trick or treating. They do it in the afternoon to keep kids safe. I'm glad they didn't do that when I was a kid ~ we liked dressing up & going around after dark. LOL
LOL ~ good luck with that!!
Gravity Hill sounds like fun!
I'm excited - I just got an email from my SIL asking if us Aunts can "pick chicken" for my nephews wedding! Many of you probably don't know what that means ~ pending where a wedding reception is being held, many Aunt's take off work the Friday before a niece or nephews wedding to help pick chicken off the bones for chicken & noodles & dressing (a staple at weddings here) Most weddings here are between 600 & 750 people, so it takes A LOT of chicken. It might not sound glorious, but it's always a fun morning with family, coffee, breakfast....and wine! And we get to watch the hall being decorated ~ it's exciting. She also said there is going to be a cookie table & asked if we could help by baking cookies for it. Right up my alley!! YAY!!! (it's the little things...)

Yes I do. It's easy to tell whose is "not from around here".Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Glad the play went so well. Sounds like a good time.
Hmm yeah that would kind of ruin it for me as a kid. Part of the "fun" was being a kid when you weren't out much in the dark and going around trick or treating at night. It set the mood. Wouldn't have felt the same doing it during the daylight but I understand them wanting to keep kids safe.
How wonderful! Sounds like a neat tradition, Holiday.
