Halloween Eve~Our Pumpkins Carved an Our Marshmallows Eaten

Last night was no-hands-down,my most enjoyable Fall Fun; 
No big menu, no parties, no guest.
I do enjoy the yummy treats and our wild Monster Mash was super-fantastic, 
and I do love company.
but...
We hand not been able to carve our pumpkins yet. My daughters schedule can be quite full between all the cheerleading and band competitions that consume her almost daily and we couldn't carve our pumpkins without her.
So, we've been waiting. I've been stalling and Jack was becoming very impatient.
We also had a big bag of large marshmallows that I promised we would roast in the cabinet.
Finally, everyone was accounted for and the carving was on!

By the time we were done there was nothing left but pulp.
As a matter of fact in the morning light there is pulp everywhere.
(maybe not everywhere it is surely hanging around)

There's something about that gooey pumpkin pulp that gets the giggles going.
The Ole Man(husband) came in from work and he seemed more than just entertained by all the goings on. He has a hardy laugh that would compare to Errol Flynn that will
 steal my heart every time.

The kids carved the pumpkins and placed them with Fred the Scarecrow.
They made good company.
We placed some of those $.97 solar lights inside.
They gave off a very warm glow.

I want to wish a safe and enjoyable evening 
to everyone as they hit the streets 
on their Trick-or-Treat Adventures.

Thanks for stopping by.
BE BLESSED!

The Monster Mash

My sister and I put together a little Autumn fun for our little bunch of monsters(kids). This is the third year we've got together as a family for some fall fun. 

The number of children are growing. We had a princess, a black ninja warrior, a character from the Hunger Games, a flannel wearing Spiderman, cowbody and cowgirl, one little wild man, some that have grown "too old" to dress up, and our sweet little lamb.

Jack was glad to have a helpful cowhand.

The kids decorated tiny pumpkin, and played a whole host of games like Boo Bingo, 

Mummy Wrap, 

and 

Bobbing for Apples.

I'll have to say there is a lot of fun to be had with 

a tub of water and some apples.

   

Even Roscoe wanted in on the fun.

Thanks for dropping in to spend some time 

with 

My Family & Friends.

BE BLESSED!

Jack and All His Friends

Well...No Silly!
Not my Jack,
Jack-o-lantern.

We've been getting a little more DIY going on around here.

Isn't it great when it's simple and cheap.

Wash-up & de-label some empty soda bottles

&

get you spray paint out.

Didn't I tell you I am no artist?

My first one I used way to heavy a hand.

After him, I sprayed much lighter and some I used a permanent marker on.

Yes, we stuck some here there....and everywhere.

I was out of bottles and we still wanted more,

so an old Maxwell House coffee jug work out.

Here's looking at ya!

Be Blessed!
