How Mice Make Me Happy

Halloween is coming soon, and we are Halloween people in this house.  For 3 years, I've tried to get a theme going with the kids' costumes.  And for 3 years, I've had opposition from the troops. 

The first year, I was able to dress the twins as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, but Connor insisted on being Curious George. 

Last year, I tried for the Toy Story gang - Connor really wanted to be Buzz.  In my stupidity, I asked the twins what they wanted.  Duh. I ended up with Dora and Handy Manny. Hmpf.

This year, since the Buzz costume still fit, I was pushing for Woody and Jessie for the twins. 

But Connor wants to be Phineas, of Phineas and Ferb.

And the twins - well they got ahold of a costume catalog, and want to be.... everything. 

 Strawberry Shortcake, the Yellow Wiggle, a pair of crayons, a dragon,
a witch, 3 different princess, you get the idea.

Until Grammy brought home two costumes from a local consignment shop.

Score!

How cute!!! Halloween is going to be so fun for you guys this year! My kids keep changing their minds. I also had to have the talk with my 13 year old that he's probably too old at this point- he took it better than I thought he would.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind.    No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field.  It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place.  As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin:  Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places:  And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
