With several recent trips and weekends spent tailgating, we hadn’t gotten around to carving our pumpkin. Since today was Halloween, I figured we better get on it. This year, Brenda had found a great little ladybug costume for Hailey that she ordered online. We had asked Grace what she wanted to go as and she had told us she wanted to be a tiger. We hadn’t found the “right” costume for her yet and we are glad we didn’t. As soon as Brenda had Hailey’s costume in hand, we tried it on her to make sure it fit well, and Grace decided she wanted to be a ladybug too. Gram and Granddad came over to handle candy duty at the door, while Brenda and I took the girls on the walk. Here are some pics from the day!

There is certainly nothing wrong with this approach. I applaud her enthusiasm for Grace's manners. However, sometimes... well, come on... really. It is just peanut butter and jelly. At this point, I should probably take a moment to thank the sponsors of this particular blog entry, Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Gramma's Strawberry Preserves. Gramma's Strawberry Preserves and Peach Butter is only available at a small pantry in Tyler, TX. She doesn't advertise, she doesn't sell her products online, heck, she doesn't even sell her products period... But those in the know, know where to go to get their jelly fix. Since I am down to my last jar of Strawberry Preserves, and I am completely out of Peach Butter, it must be about time for another journey to East Texas. Since Gramm...

One little ladybug
With spots on its wings
Landed right beside me
As I played on the swings.
Two little ladybugs
Flew around a flower
Then crawled beneath a leaf
To nap for half an hour!
(Hope your little ladybugs did!)
