If Halloween doesn't happen tomorrow,

my kids might not know the difference.

We've been playing dress up for weeks now, in practice for our upcoming trip to Disney world (just 13 days away).

The house will stay decorated & festive- with jackolanterns aglow!

We've got two pumpkins full of candy to keep us content (from the festival at church on Wednesday), the Georgia/Florida game is at 3 and the chili will be on the stove . . . . so it'll be a perfect Halloween Saturday, despite the rain.

However . . . even if there is NO Trick-or-Treating,

someone in this house gets his turn at being Captain Hook for our little Tinkerbell & Peter Pan . . . so mommy can try out her Cinderella costume! (oh yes, I' need my practice too, for breakfast at the castle with my little princess)

oh, yeah, this is a homemade baby! My mom & my Gran used to wear this Pirate costume when I was little. So I was bringing out the old traditions of handmade numbers when I slapped some black felt to a $1 Pirate hat and taped white coffee filters to my tshirt and called myself Captain Hook. (& yes, that coat is handmade too, but not by these hands).

And while I did buy these two angles their Halloween numbers this year . . . I must give my mother applause for ALWAYS coming up with FANTASTIC Halloween numbers for me and my sister. She's a homemade Halloween kinda lady for three decades now! Thanks mom, in case I never told you that before! For the witch & Casper the Ghost, Miss Piggy, rubix cube, Holly Hobby, Peter Pan and so many more . . .

Happy Halloween &

Go Dawgs!

PS- the forecast already looks better . . . may be some some candy hunting after all- YAY :)
