The Rest of the Halloween Story (Decor)

Since we found the other parts of the Halloween landscape, I thought I would add those pictures too. So here is my fall porch-scape--which is now Halloweeny!

This is Mr. Fuzzy Spider. He is old and always out crawling somewhere.

Here is my new non-big-sunflowered wreath and wooden pumkin.
Hard to see from this pic- but some have inquired about what my door says. "Welcome- Sit, Stay A While". This is from www.UppercaseLiving.com. There is another link to a cool place like it over in my shopping links section on the left, Wonderful Graffiti.

This is my cute little sign (although it is actually inside the house).

Here is my fall porch chair decorating, with the added boost of Halloween. This very old chair is always on my porch, and no matter the season, is the back drop for my porch decor. This is a new sign this year-- and it's from Stein Mart of all places. It was only 9.99, too. And, if you are a p.o.o.p.i.e over from the Nester- YES, my big non-real sunflower is staying. I took one off the door, alas, I like the orange one and I cannot part just yet. I am working on it.

Over in the flower bed is Spongebob. Three guesses as to who picked this out.

This sign is also new this year. It's a great sign, totally.

Monday Football Report on Wednesday

Bixby Blue WON on Saturday 27-0 against Broken Arrow Silver! Above the standard Zach in a cool pic.
Gavin got in some snaps on offense- you can see him on the far left. He did an excellent job getting the plays called and set-up from the huddle. He also played most all of the game at safety and did a great job there too.

Here he is pre-tackle. This week we take on Jenks!

Fair & Fall

This past couple of weeks the fair was going on ... Grayce and I went and visited some cows. She was more enthusiastic than she looks here. We visited a lot of animals and exhibits, and had corn dogs- of course.

Here and below are our Halloween decorations, which the kids help me put out. Mr. Bones is a new addition. He is pretty cool.

One whole tub of Halloween was missing until Sunday, when I had to seek Joe's help to find it in the attic. We finally found it, and so all Halloween decor is finally out and working. The kids have started the countdown! The only thing we need yet are real pumpkins. I usually get these on one of the kids field trips to the pumpkin patch- but this year, I don't think either one is going! Eeek. I have to get a new plan.

Happy Spooking!

"The Team"

Team pics were last week, and I took the opp to steal a few shots.

Crazy, aren't they?

Yahoo!

I would just like to take a moment to bask in the glory that Gavin made 105% on his spelling test. This is so wonderful for him...he wasn't even sure that it was such good thing when he looked at it. He says- "105%...what is that about? " He got to put it up on the window at Oxford (where he goes for tutoring), and he got a $10 gift card from GameStop for having so many 100%'s (several 100's on other papers too, but I can't scan them all) last week. (Our Oxford rewards with gift cards- and it works!) Yay!

Fro ME to YOU...Polyester Prom

Here we are at Polyester Prom! (I figure my dress is pretty fall appropriate for the theme today, don't you? It is lovely, isn't it?). That would be a sorority event held back in 1994, while dressing from 1974. This is my SS and great friend Mary Anne and I- doing our best sorority pose, on roller skates. Looks as if we both could use a root job. Anyway, HI! Mary Anne. Just wanted to get you on the blog. So, there you go. Your kids have been on, and now, so have you! :-) Visit We Are THAT Family for more Fro Me to You fun today!
