The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

If you know me at all you know this is one of my favorite times of the year! The Tigers are in the post season, the Spartans won on Saturday, and the Lions won on Sunday, what more could you want? Oh yeah and it's PUMPKIN season! I have already done a couple (Ninja Turtle and Kitty) for some special little people in my life. I am looking forward to The Carve downtown Holland in a couple of weeks! I have pinned a few to practice, I am trying to decide what to enter for that. I love Halloween probably because my Grandma Jackie loved it so much. I will never forget her and in the Witch Costume with a cauldron full of dry ice on the porch at their house on Benjamin St. She would have loved taking Jackie to Party City to pick out her costume! For the past couple of weeks I kept asking Jackie, "what do you want to be for Halloween?" Every time I asked, I got a different answer...Tinkerbell, Aurora, Belle (do you see a theme?) But not yesterday, she had one thing on her mind.....ELSA! Kelly knew the kids working at Party City and so she got them to get an Elsa dress for Jackie to try on....I wish you could have seen her come out of that dressing room, she thought she was Elsa herself, and she even did a little twirl for the boys working at Party City. I am sure Grandma Jackie and Grandma Audrey were up there in Heaven laughing and smiling like we were in the store. Jackie picked our a Anna costume for Grace and on the way home she decided that I should be Olaf and Grandpa should be Kristoff. "That way we would all be from Arendell," she said. Can't wait for Halloween! Tara emailed this morning and said both the costumes HAD to be put on this morning!
