I am so cheesy!

Warm Halloween (65°)

Yes, that's right it's a warm halloween, 65° to be exact. Unbelievable. So, Matilda did not wear her pumpkin sweater :(

When I was little, I would wear my costume over a snowsuit.

Also, we went out looking for trick-or-treaters, and saw only a couple. There was one really convincing kid dressed like an old lady, but wait, it was an old lady, just carrying her purse real low and close to the ground. She should've milked it and gone for a few treats along the way to her destination.

Happy Halloween to all! And happy Howl-o-ween from Matilda!

He decided that for the picture, he should showcase all of the things I've knitted for him (that's a slipper on his hand).

Now, if the weather will only cooperate, he can wear it. It's October for Pete's Sake, what's up with this beautiful weather???

Move over Kate Spade!

The bottom was too round to be used as a tote...it looked like a GIGANTIC ski hat. So now it's a...

Gotta love those little vandals...they changed 24 hour banking to barking.

Finally broke down and bought bamboo double pointed needles to finish the devil horns on this hat.

Doesn't my husband, Nate look dashing?

He has threatened to wear this hat with his red union suit...that's quite a halloween costume!
