Trick or Treat! Did you get that photo of your Ghostly Ghouls?

 The week started out with the kids carving their jack o' lanterns.  To avoid the mess & since they are now older I got them carvable 'fake' pumpkins.  This way they could have it last from year to year.

Here is the end result.

My daughter chose the wolf baying at the moon.  Her brother assisted her with the final details around the moon so you would still see the wolf's silhouette.

These photos really give you a feel for their creations:

 

The kids also had the chance to dress up for their band practice.  They helped each other with the make-up and choice of clothing.

 

I'm so glad to see them working together and having FUN with this holiday.

I had my camera ready & set up for the night time lighting and everything was planned & ready.  Here's the results of my pre-planning.

As you can see even the best laid plans sometimes fail.  I have great photos of things I didn't really care if I got them or not & the photos I REALLY wanted are blurred :0(  Oh, well we all have those days.  This is where your journaling comes into play.  It's the memory of the event as much as it is about the photo.  I never did find my son among the high school band...

Homecoming 2014

My son George is discovering just how much is involved with Homecoming.  Last evening was the football game, Senior Night, and the selection of the Homecoming Queen.

SMILE! for the camera/yearbook photo.

Then tonight was the Homecoming Dance...buying the corsage, getting a tie to match his date's dress, the tickets to the dance, and paying for the meal before the dance.  Needless to say he has sticker shock.  Not a bad thing for him to realize just what Mom & Dad have been shelling out over the years.

his tie with his Great Grandpa's tie tac...

And of course he had to stand still long enough for everyone to take his & his date's photos.  We went to one of the local parks for the photos.

They both look nice.

Happy FALL Y'all

I am finally getting my decorations and plants in for the Fall season.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get any snow or frost this month.  The local radio station announced yesterday that in 8 of the past 10 years our area has had snow in the month of October.  REALLY??  I remember a few of them, but I never imagined it was that many.

Anyhow here's a sampling of what I've been up to this week.  I took this this morning, it's foggy & we're expecting rain later in the day.  Not so bright, but I am loving the colors or the Mums this year.  The plant in the back is my only one that survived the past winter.
