Wicked awesome, that is. Something's coming...you can feel it in the air. And if you can't feel it in the air, you can see it on the kids! Ptolemy scored a lion costume from Michelle, who is also making Golda an Alice in Wonderland costume in her Halloween sweat shop. Coco stole the little girls away and outfitted them for the season. She also brought Freestone a ninja costume which he deemed "the worst ever," right before he put in on and refused to take it off.
Costumes aren't the only harbinger of Halloween around here. We picked the scariest apples we could find in a fallow orchard nearby for our witch heads. It's a fifth grade homework assignment, but it's so fun that everyone did one. I'm sure you can find instructions online for carving apples if pumpkins are too unwieldy for your carving skills. Apples are the perfect size for little hands. Free and Ari did a great job with a knife. Not a single trip to the ER. The apple heads will dry and shrink and we'll make little dresses and hats for them. In the background of the witch craft (ha ha), Golda was cutting out and sewing tree-shaped Christmas ornaments. Bring on the holidays! All of them! While I'm at it, mark your calendars for the Halloween party: 4:00-5:00 on Halloween, as usual. We'll be ready!

Oh, you have got me so excited! Now I want to make witch heads! Brittany got ripped off, she is supposed to make a volcano. Not nearly as cute. Have I mentioned I know how to make witch hats? I'll show you at the park. You have the best Halloween house!
That picture of angel Ari is priceless.
Applehead witches were so much fun! I loved 5th grade! IO still have a lot of stuff from ine if rubes needs some!
Look at Ari! She really DOES look like an angel!
I just want Rubes to try on this Periwinkle costume. She doesn't have to wear it, but is would look so stunning with her hair, that she should atleast have her photo taken in it. Hopefully, we'll see you Wed.?
