Happy Halloween!!

I can't believe it's October 31st!! Last Sunday, Cooper and I carved our pumpkin and I put his costume together last weekend. I was so very proud of the costume because I made it! (sort of) I bought the overalls and he had the green long sleeve t-shirt, added a hankerchief and some gold colored felt and voila!! A scarecrow! I sewed the fringed felt on to look like straw. When Traci took his pictures last Sunday, I put brown eyeliner on his nose, too. (See the pics so far) His cap even has "straw" on it! He loves his costume, too. He's worn it twice already and he doesn't like to take it off.
I know the last picture looks very strange...I'm wearing a Halloween shirt and decorating my Christmas tree! Well, the reason for that is that I do it before Thanksgiving for holiday open house, and since the next couple weeks are rather full, I thought, why not do it this one. Dennis just thought it was hilarious to take that pic!

On another note, I officially start my new job as part time youth director at our church starting tomorrow! I get to kick it off with a hayride/ weenie roast! Woohoo!!
