Halloween 2.0.1.5.

Halloween.
My favorite holiday.
This year life was so hectic with stuff, 
our group costume didn't work out.
Oh, but just you wait for next year....


but here is what we came up this time around!

Lucy as Bat Girl
Did you know the original and comic book Bat Girl had red hair?
Perfect.


Audrey really really REALLY wanted to be the Mad Hatter.
 So I went to town and made her a crazy coat and bow tie and she picked out a tiny top hat. 


The pensive side of Wolverine

I don't know if Chester will be anything BUT a super hero for Halloween. I found this at Goodwill for 99 cents after he told me he wanted to be Wolverine! The moment I saw it on the rack I kept shaking my head in disbelief....is that what I think it is? it's gold and blue...is it? IS IT? 
YES!!!
I did it, I am the best Mom ever!
It's a rare feeling nowadays.

Henry is always a little nervous to dress up. 
So, here he is as Dr. Pepper.
I made the doctor smock with a clear plastic pocket to 
hold the pepper in.

Getting ready for surgery.

The kids went separately with friends this year, we were all just blocks apart though. We stuck with Chester and his friend William.
The street down from Mesa Elementary was like a party, it was great!

The house where you can choose your full sized bar or bag.
Hit of the year!( well, every year really)

We got everyone home by 9 pm, ate tons of candy and watched 
Hotel Transylvania.


These were some of the bar graphs the kids made with their candy Sunday morning. Along with hourly counts.
Henry won this year with 134 pieces of candy.
I helped take down the Reese's total.

From left to right jack o' lanterns:
Lucy, Henry, Audrey, and Chester.
Happy Halloween!

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires.  Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans? Heavenly  Fall 2024 (he already looks different) Friday morning fits Becky Ruppel photography↑ In the middle of football season lies the beast of the high school basketball pancake breakfast. It was actually fun to serve all of the people coming through... even the complainers...haha Homecoming! And nothing better t...

Post #40 The Ninja Room

The room my family has been waiting for.  Seriously!  I knew when we decided to turn this into a hang out room versus another bedroom(sorry teenage Lucy) it would be the end all at the Milkbarn.  In the 70's, when I grew up, this type of room was called a den. Rightly so. They were usually planked with wood siding and padded with two toned shag carpet. Nowadays I hear the word lounge to describe this space which only conjures up images of 20 somethings in the 90's  (ahem, that was me)   congregating at hip places with lots of sectional seating and guys thinking cigars were cool while I thought it seemed all so ridiculous.  So our children, upon carpet installation, commandeered the room for fighting and wrestling and so forth.  They named it The Ninja Room . No den, no lounge...just the ninja room. We love that they named it. We wanted to put up all of our family photographs  in a more personal space. ...
