Happy October, one of my favorite months!

It is cooling way down now and I am enjoying it. Especially since it is still sunny. I apologize for not blogging too much. I just was sick for so long that I didn't  have the energy to do it. Pneumonia is a kicker I will say that. I would start to get better then relapse. Or wake up feeling good and two hours later, I couldn't get up the stairs. Over two months is a long time to be sick.

 Stacie (daughter ) Took us to the rubber duck races on Sunday. We each had five and you think you might have a chance until you see how many there really are. They drew for fifty really big prizes.

I had to short leash Cooper because those rubber duckies were very tempting.

They had a lot of activities for kids and families. Daniel and Olivia made pumpkins. Someone donated a ton of them and all of the things needed to decorate.

Daniel can be hard to get out. He is so into computers. He told me what a fun time he had. That made me happy because I don't get out much.

Here are the kids, dogs and I with a giant rubber duckie.

I started to decorate for Halloween today. I have a few things to make yet and then put out. I am going to decorate the porch up nice. It will mostly be fall, that way I can keep things out until December.

Right in my entryway though I decorated for Halloween. That inspired me to make a new zombie doll. I kept with the Alice in Wonderland theme and made the white Rabbit. Except he is now the Zombie Rabid.

Getting ready to bake his polymer clay parts.

His body all ready for a head, hands and feet and we can't forget his pocket watch.

He is a scary rabbit for sure. Nothing Wascally about this Wabbit.

I also made a wreath.

The pom poms with the spiders and the Halloween box were made by a swap friend, Chris.

Here is the entryway all orange and purpled up!

I like it a lot and I know the kids will too. Which is why I do it.

My son brought me corn stalks and I put a chair and this wooden crate filled with things out right by the door.

I had bought one of these crates a long time ago and when I looked at it I knew I could make them. This is one of them that I made.

I want to paint the door a lime green. We will see if I get to it or not.

Happy October! xoxoxomelinda
