This year #2 didn’t dress up. I don’t know if he thought he was too old, or if he really didn’t want to trick-o-treat. Last year, thanks to the election and his super cool mother (me) he had a fabulous costume. He was a voting booth.

I painted a box..

Took a brown paper bag and put Obama on one…

and John McCain on the other.

And Bob’s Your Uncle.. you get a voting booth. (Please ignore the dumb look

and the fact that #2 doesn’t have on 2 socks. This is not my fault. It’s

his fathers.)

#2 had people vote with their candy. Can you tell who won?

I don’t know why I am including this photo.. I think it’s just because I love it..

It says so much.. but mostly that my son will do whatever I tell him too.

I was looking through some photos today and I found these.. Just look at these super strong iron men.

Muscles.. just look at these muscles..

Those six packs are more than I can take!

Woohoo..

Hulk, Arnold, Mr Universe.. all light weights in comparison to these two..

Don’t you think?

It’s getting cold in Kansas.. I picked out the top 5 coats I would buy on Etsy.. Ok.. I’d buy if I didn’t have so many excuses and issues!

1. The seller Dinwiddies calls this a Dumpster Chic Coat.. I love the vintage buttons, and jewelry on the collar. So cute. See the coat by clicking 1

2. Holy Smokes I love this coat. I love the pleats in the back.. I can see myself (200lbs lighter) walking around the plaza with my black high heeled boots.. looking cute. The sellers name is YYStudio. Want to see this coat? Click on 2

3. ROAR.. I’m a tiger or um.. a leopard. I have no idea where I would wear this. (who am I kidding.. I’d wear it everywhere!) The Seller is 2SwansNest want to see it go here: 3

4. Ok.. so this coat is a bit funky for me.. But there is something about it that says "WEAR ME!" I could probably do without the lace at the bottom.. But I love the way the coat looks… if it were in front of me.. I’d ask if I could touch it . Seller is Crude things. To see this coat go here: 4 (oh.. and what is that on her feet?)

5. This coat is like a work of art to me. I don’t know where I would wear it.. but I love quilts, and I wish I looked taller.. this coat is part of a quilt and well it looks like only a tall girl should wear it. The seller is LAziz. Check this coat out by clicking here: 5

I’m not exactly sure where I bought these things. I believe they were in a box of stuff I bought at Strickers Auction. I’ve had a variety of people tell me they were different things..

Some have said they are upholstery pins.

I thought they looked like fancy push pins.

You know the kind you used for bulletin boards? What do you think they are?

Do I have them totally categorized wrong?
