Halloween


The pumpkin. Design selected by Aaron, drawn on the pumpkin by Thea, and carved by Hart. Aaron gutted the pumpkin.




Thea went as a mad scientist.



Aaron went as a mummy. He was thrilled to win two (!!!) trophies at school for his costume. Auntie Anne, thank-you so much for sending the box of costumes. Hugs and kisses to you.




Let's get a closer look at those trophies. Drats, he took the labels off them. He told me they were both for second place. One was for best costume and I forget what the other one was for. I wonder who one first place???

Wow, two trophies! That's fantastic. Thea's costume is terrific too, I love the glasses. I'd never recognise her!

Sorry to be so late in commenting hre. I loved both those costumes. The mad scientist looks like a cousin of Ian's Andy Warhol!

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Cookie Jar

My sister Anne discovered some retro cookie jars recently and one of them reminded her of the one that was in our house when we were growing up. A search of the archives has turned up this photo. You can see our actual cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I remember taking this picture and thinking that the contents of the cupboard would be interesting to us in the far distant future.
