Ghost Badge

Mason often talks of ghosts. In his mind, ghosts are not scary things, they exist more to just really annoy you by moving your stuff around when you weren't looking! ;) But in the world according to Mason, sometimes you have to fight ghostes in the middle of the night. And tonight he informed me that you have to have a "Ghost Badge" to fight them. Because it's just not possible to fight them without one! ;) Mason told me that he has two ghost badges, so now he was going to give me one so that mommy can fight ghostes. (and yes, that's how he says it, ghostes!) His badge never runs out of power but apparently mine will !?! Oh, and he might have one for daddy (but no mention of Matthew because I think the theory is that Matthew would have his own badge). So I guess the question is, where are your ghost badges??

Recent Purchases

Yeah....the economy may be bad. But I have still found a few things to entertain me!

What can I say....it's a great combination and one I haven't had in ages! ;)

So I had seen this lovely British logo on another blog and I really kind of liked the look. So just the other day I was at New Season's and saw it in coaster form. And I couldn't resist....

And now for my favorite purchase...but just a warning, if there are children or anyone else who may be offended by a bit of crass language, you might want to turn away now.

Yes...my newest stamp! I couldn't resist...there is some little paper/card shop on NW 23rd whose name completely escapes me at the moment that had this. Originally, I was out with my girlfriends and we were headed over to Papa Hayden (of course!) and this particular shop happened to be open until 8 pm. I found the stamp there and immediately had to have it. I don't have immediate plans on what exactly I am going to stamp this on yet....but I am tempted to label some of Andy's things with it! ;) Now if only they had an F-bomb I would make some real special cards!! ;)

The Living Dead

They do look rather dead, don't they?? The living dead, or the un-dead, is how I was trying to explain the concept of a zombie to Matthew. I'm not sure that he really got it, but he was insistent that he would be a zombie for Halloween this year. I need to take a picture of his inspiration for this idea. It's about a 2 inch little rubber figure...I have no idea were he got it from but that was what he wanted to be. So my friend, Louise, copied it almost exactly and that's how he became a zombie. Oh, and the most important part? The Brains!!! Yes, that's what is on top of his head. Brains. Those brains originally had hair around them, (which I thought looked cool) but it wasn't how Matthew envisioned it so off they went.

Mason got to be a mummy. Not that he had much choice! ;) Louise had a bunch of gauze hanging around and asked if one of the kids would like to be a mummy and I told that to Mason and he said yes. He was happy, and warm! These costumes were perfect for keeping the kids toasty....not that they needed it on Halloween night. The weather was perfect! Thank you Louise for making such fabulous costumes for my kids!! Spoiled rotten I tell ya.......
