Unexplained Phenomenon

Tha fat cat Thomas dressed as a bumblebee.

And Blue dressed in his convict costume.

And this short video, that proves anything can happen:

This is a car ad from great Britain. When they finished filming, the editor noticed something moving alongside the car. Locals informed them that someone had actually been killed in the exact same spot the previous year.
The ad was never made public because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon.
Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car.

Shifting Gears

Meet Bug-Out Bob. He is in a tight spot.

He was designed as a stress toy.
Squeeze him.
His eyes and ear protrude severely, in an attempt to release your steam.
Doing this, I'm told, helps to eliminate day-to-day stress.

Well... right now, he's eliminating stress by standing in for holiday decorations.
He realizes this wasn't in his original job description, but he's learning to adapt.

His flexibility has probably helped him cope with this reassignment.

My bathrobe is just moonlighting as a holiday decoration,
but has not actually changed jobs. It's primary role is still the same,
but it's area of residence has just changed temporarily.

Polar fleece does tend to be more accommodating.

Dragging My Halloween Feet

My Jenifer could be the poster child for Halloween in this picture.

I remember this was her "first" and she thoroughly embraced the idea of people giving her candy.

She was eating the candy almost as fast as it was being dropped into her little pumpkin bucket.

Did you notice the sucker stuck to her thigh?













Some years later... Jessica and Jenifer ready for their evening of trick or treating.
Jessica was a "devil woman" and Jeni, a rabbit.

I still have Jessica's cape in my box of Halloween goodies. Probably, because it was such a bear to sew that slippery stuff! But it turned out beautifully.
The inside was black satin, so the following year she used it again when she was a witch.

Jeni's rabbit costume doubled as cold weather sleepwear--minus the hat, gloves, booties and over sized bow, of course.
She grew very fond of this outfit, (it was made of robe velor) that we changed it us just slightly and the next year she was a cat.

I made the bags from one of those panels you get at the fabric store.





I've had "get out halloween decorations" on my list for well over a week now. It's doesn't have the sense of urgency that it once did with children at home. When the girls were little, decorations had to be put out on the 1st!!

But I'll get there.
