Heidi organized a Vintage Halloween Swap. My partner,
Carla, sent me some fabulous stuff.
Pumpkin girl, as I am calling her until my children give her a better name, is the absolute, hands-down favorite. My three-year-old took her down from where I perched her and sat her in many locations in my home before deciding that this step was the perfect place for her. (
Ignore the dust on the stairs - I do.)
I also now have a cool picture to hang on the wall and the best smelling candle ever. It is a Trick or Treat scented Yankee Candle . Every time I smell it my teeth hurt - it smells just like candy corn. I haven't had candy corn in years...
To switch gears - Today my mom left to go back to New Jersey. Each child picked out a cake and decorated it last night. Each with a smile face. The three-year-old's creation is the yellow face, the six-year-old's is the blue face. They were so proud of decorating a cake for their Mema by themselves. Who needs a bakery to write
We'll miss you when you have tubes of icing and an operatic serenade good-bye before the cake made up by your grandchildren? (
I had suggested singing happy un-birthday but the un-rehearsed version of the opera We will miss you Mema in a soprano voice won.)

I'm glad you liked the gifts. My girl carried "pumpkin girl" around the house before I got hr packed away in the box. And I had to quit sniffing the candle. It made me crave candy corn.
Are you supposed to dust stairs? Uh oh. :op
