boo to you...
Halloween has come and gone and now I'm ready for Christmas! This year's Halloween wasn't done up like I normally like to do, but I did get a few things accomplished. Behold:
classroom treat bags for Logan and Caleb
Lynn is totally exasperated by me putting these little things together for the kids...too much time...could be spent doing other things...blah, blah, blah. And that's all well and good because the boys and me? We get a big kick out of doing it. I know Caleb L O V E S to hand out the goody bags to each of his little friends and their siblings and his teachers and pretty much anyone else in the general vicinity. I imagine Logan loves it too, though all I really know is that he is tickled to death to walk into his classroom with a big bag of treats for his friends at the beginning of the day and then likes to tell us all about how everyone was so surprised and excited to get a treat at the end of the day. Me? I just like to find cute stuff the kids might enjoy and package it up all spiffy-like. That my boys love it as much as I do is a bonus. I suppose one day they'll be embarrassed by the thought of handing out treats so I'll just take advantage while I can.
boo bat atcs for my haunted halloween atc swap
I present to you the worst picture I've ever taken of an atc set. It didn't matter where I took the pictures, under what light I took the pictures, whatever, good pictures were just not meant to be. Anyway, these little guys were named by Caleb and originally were going to hold a dangling spider in one wing and a dangling ghost in the other until it proved the spider would not stand up to much handling. Luckily my awesome sister and her awesome husband bought me a Cricut as a thank you for helping them with their wedding stuff and one of the cartridges it came with has those little tag things on it. FUN! Anyway, throw in some of Martha's baker's twine and viola! Boo Bat lives! To all my atcs swappers: the last of the cards arrived on the 30th and yesterday was a zoo for me so they'll be in the mail today for you all.
dark mater, pwincess leia, 'torm trooper as per caleb
It was indeed a very Star Wars Halloween here at the Lyons' Den. The weather cooperated: perfect temperatures, no humidity and perhaps a slight breeze. Really nice! The boys scored just enough candy to feel victorious...in years passed it was ridiculous the amount candy they hauled in...it was like they'd held up a Walmart candy aisle or something. In any event, everyone had a good time. Molly and her buns were a huge hit with anyone who saw her, Caleb and Logan were good sports and remembered to say thank you more often than they did not. All around? A great evening.
