Deer Garden

Whew - it is hot here! If you didn't know - we have been having record heat for November. This IS NOT good for hunters that bring their deer back home! You know - heat, dead animals - you get the picture, but at least you don't get the smell that goes with it! Anyway - needing to do something with the head/antlers until my dear husband can decide whether to mount them or throw them away, he got very clever. So - here is the Alldredge deer garden. Tell me what you think! Will it catch on? Will we grow anything?
Doug buried the heads - with the antlers sticking up! How clever is that? Well, it seemed pretty clever until Jeremy pulled them out to start working on them for doing a home mount. Whew - bad news. But, it was a pretty neat sight while it lasted. Our dog - little ol' Oscar wasn't sure what to think of the sight, but he sure liked to dig at them. We stopped that in a hurry when it started!

Here comes another hunting widow weekend for me. Doug is taking Matt, Kendall and Jason out for their hunt. Carson will be the man of the house - with just the girls home. We'll have to have a big party - but don't tell the guys!

Halloween Day!

Just a few pictures from Halloween! I had to show this picture of Carson taken earlier in the day. He is getting very brave letting go of the couch. Usually is stands there with one hand just touching the couch. Isn't he cute in his "I love Mummy" shirt! I love him too!







Well, you already saw Carson and Dani's Halloween costumes from the Fall Festival, but here they are again. This time Kristi and Mikel joined in. Mikel was just on her way out to a young adult party. She went as a softball player. (Hmm- now wasn't that a stretch! She is such a good softball player too. She was just re-living those high school years!) Kristi is a witch - but a "cute one" as she would say. None of those warts, black teeth, ratty hair for her! Then, of course we have our "Spiderella" and our "hunting dude". Man, you should have seen the haul of candy that Dani and Kristi (and even Carson) brought home. Enough to share with everyone and last until Christmas!
Isn't Jason just one cool kid with all of his "bling, bling".

Kendall had a costume too - but had changed out of it before he came home. I told him "I want pictures!" So, when I get it - you'll see it!

If you have a few minutes - take a look at Jeremy and Jo's blog and see the cutest picture ever of my granddaughter, EmmaLee. You'll have to admit - you haven't seen many babies cuter than her!

There were so many kids trick or treating around our neighborhood. Doug stayed home to get ready to leave again for the Jeremy's deer hunt. He said everytime he turned around, the doorbell was ringing. He didn't get anything done! Poor guy. That's usually how my days go at home - constant interruptions that nothing gets done. He is off again, and this is just another post from the "hunting widow!"
