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!

The Lofty Summer Project

Summer Milkbarn projects! We had so many plans and then like anything,  summer came and kind of went (well, unless you count the 25 days left of actual summer).  We accomplished 2 things.  Here is the the boys room remodel.  We haven't completed the built in book shelves but this is a pretty amazing re-do since it was a pretty nasty room to start with. Before photos   (after I delightfully cleaned, donated and organized the boys belongings! well, not all of them) Right below this crack through their ceiling slept Henry  in the top bunk. If I was him, I would've imagined monsters or something trying to break in from another dimension... oh wait, that is Stranger Things on Netflix ( okay, so that was my 3rd summer project)  old paint swatches from 2 1/2 years ago lightening speed around here! Ripped up the carpet and remains of a rainbow loom rip rainbow looms After the carpet and linoleum un...

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. ...

Costumes and Windows

Our shady tree Our favorite tree holds this swing we pulled out of the "jungle room"...remember the room with the Bali mural and plants everywhere that left our collective heads scratching? The swing survived the excavating. Anyway, our swing is a place where we play, snack,  talk, think, hold hands, lean on each other and (maybe)escape. Or watch bunnies. RIP Ernie. (My bunny friend that never ran away from me.) I love how the Milkbarn looks in the fall. Delivery complete. We filled this dumpster up within a week or two of tearing up the apartment. Windows installed!  The three on the left is where the kitchen sink will be. Early fall morning looking towards the canyon.  Autumn never gets old for me. Our backyard neighbors must be sick of looking at this mess. The kids picked this up unwillingly. Ah, Milkbarn memories. Sleeping in our future kitchen yo. Halloween chaos. I decided this year to make some Halloween...
