I will be VERY happy if I have a third boy however, digital editing is much more fun with girls don’t you think??? The above animated gif is a throwback to Sleeping Beauty when Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather kept changing Beauty’s dress color.?? :)?? I could have made the animation smoother but a) it was my first attempt and b) I didn’t want to increase the file size by adding several dissolving transitions.?? And yes Jodi and Brooke, I will make you a copy.?? Which color do you prefer??? Pink, Green or Blue??? 🙂

The Monday before Halloween, our little homeschool group had Fall Festival day at Brooke’s.?? All the kids had to do book reports.?? Tanner did his very first book report on “Cowboy Christmas” and he did quite well I thought.?? Anyhow, Brooke’s mom (pictured above), dressed up for the event as a Fairy Godmother.?? As far back as I can remember, Dawn has entertained me with her Halloween costumes.?? She is too much fun.???? I was driving behind her on the way to Brooke’s and I kept wondering why it looked like she had wings on.?? :)?? She kept traffic smiling too.?? :)?? Brooke had several pumpkins sitting on the porch and I asked Dawn to pose and try to turn the pumpkin into a carriage for me.?? Wasn’t sure why I need that shot but I knew I would think of something LOL.

I made the above picture in a small format and then could have kicked myself because I wanted to print it for Dawn and Brooke.?? I made a new one and didn’t compare to the old as I went and it turned out quite different.?? Not sure which I like better.

Farewell my Fairy friends….

P.S.?? I totally forgot to include this year’s pumpkin project!?? Jim is so great at pumpkin carvings:).?? You’ll never guess the who or the why!?? (LOL – YES that is sarcasm – who else would have inspired this year’s pumpkin?)
