These two cute little spooks will be coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

They are SO excited for Halloween this year. Since our neighborhood doesn't really have Halloween (poorly lit roads, no sidewalks, few houses, etc), we like to bring our neighbors a little Halloween gift instead. I had just finished the kids' costumes and wanted to give them a test run, so we got all decked out and brought our neighbors some painted pumpkins.

Amara is totaly jazzed to be a puppy in her box that says "Puppies for Sale." She's also quick to add, "I'm just kidding," to ensure that no one runs off with her beloved puppies. She's not even annoyed to be carrying around the box. However, she was quick to add that when we do it "for real" she also needs to carry a bag to collect candy. Gone are the days where I can get away with saying that school and work parties suffice for trick-or-treating.


Little D-Man has been infatuated with Cowboys since we visted the Old West town this summer in Maryland. We found him a cute little hat and boots to go with his belt and holster that he got as a vacation souvenier. I made the chaps and vest, and he's in cowboy heaven. He's got the "Yeehaw" down pat. Now we need to work on the "Get along little doggies."
