Halloween Pictures & A Book Giveaway

Bean and D, a Cat and a Skeleton, ready for some candy.

She was so excited to go Trick-or-Treating. We went up and down our block and towards the end she started getting greedy. When she went to a door (with her brother) it went a little something like this...

Bean: TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!

Homeowner: Awww...you look sooo cute! (dropping candy into bag)

Bean: THANK YOU!!!

Homeowner: You're welcome honey.

Bean: I want more! I'm a cat, meow....

Homeowner: Awww....(putting more candy in the bag)

D had been waiting for this moment all day, or all week actually. He had a little button that he could push that made blood squirt down his chest. Lovely.


Lets go get some CANDY!!!!




An hour or so later...

They did pretty good for only one block. They had a lot of fun and everyone made it home safe. I think people asked us about Lola more then they did the kids. LOL! She was going to be a ghost but she kept stepping on the sheet. I guess a 155lb dog can create a lot of conversation, costume or no costume.


ON TO THE GIVEAWAY

I purchased the book above in hopes of getting a little inspiration. It was an OK book but if you love Patrick Swayze and have seen many of his movies, this is probably the book for you. Lisa Niemi was on Oprah this past Friday, If you watched the show then you have a little bit of an idea of what this book is about.

He talks a lot about his career and his love for Lisa, his illness is only mentioned in the last few chapters. I only saw 2 movies by Patrick, Dirty Dancing and Ghost, and it was cool to read all about the making of the movie and how things really were behind the scenes.

HOW TO ENTER:

Just leave a comment and a way for me to contact you. If your comments already link to your blog then you're good. If not, just leave your email address in the comments section.

I'll pick a winner sometime tomorrow (Monday) and I'll contact you for your mailing address.

Christmas is around the corner so if this book isn't for you, maybe you can give it to someone else. It's in excellent condition and comes from a smoke-free home. :)

Good Luck!

Spiders and Ghosts

BEFORE

AFTER

I wasn't really in the mood for pumpkin carving this year. Mainly because it's a pain, but also because our pumpkins never last too long after being gutted. I wish I could take credit for this idea but I saw it in a recent issue of Better Homes and Gardens.

There's look much better than mine. I should've painted them instead of using markers but my lack of patience wouldn't allow it. I purchased everything (minus the pumpkins) from Michael's. I used pipe cleaner for the spider legs and super glued the eyes on for both. Then just a white and black marker and POOF! Ghosts and Spiders. :) Cost about $12.00 for everything.

We bought D a larger pumpkin for him to decorate. He went crazy and created something that has about 50 legs and enough hair to make Big Foot jealous.
