Some of my trick-or-treaters. (I don't have pictures of Buddy because he didn't decide until today what to be, and then he went to a friend's house for trick-or-treating and a sleep-over.)

Bug was a bat, for the 3rd year in a row. Mister was a cat, and Lemur changed his mind from Batman to a cat, so we talked him into being a "cat-bat". Missy was a clown, and this was the third night this week I did her clown make-up. The first time was for trunk-or-treat, then she had a Halloween party last night (which this picture is from--she was a "scary" clown), and then tonight for trick-or-treating. The kids had a blast, though the little ones pooped out early--which really isn't a bad thing--means less candy in the house.

Today I went to the next quilting class. I got the borders sewn on (though not during class--I just got the basics of sewing borders on and then did them at home).

It's so fun to see how it turns out. I almost wish I had done the smaller border as the "focus" print (where I have the stripe), and the green as the smaller border, since it is a dark color. But, I really like how it turned out, and then next step, I think, is actually quilting it. The back of the quilt will be the solid blue from the rail fence block.

I'll post pictures of Missy's when I get it done. I'm still working on it, since Halloween interrupted my sewing.

Leaves

Waterfall

I mis-labeled this video as playing in the leaves. It is really Waterfall Canyon. Missy took this video.

Haircuts

This weekend, while visiting Auntie hair-dresser, we took advantage of her and got some fabulous haircuts. Here is Missy before:

Her aunt talked her into bangs. I've always loved Misy with bangs, but she rarely lets me cut them. The last time she had bangs like this was the summer before 2nd grade.

And here's the big shocker: we got Buddy into the chair for a haircut. He was very reluctant. This picture was taken after she had cut his sides and back. (Look how much hair is already on his on his shoulders.) We told him long hair is out and the cool kids have short cuts...and that his aunt knows because she just came from Florida--where things are happenin'.

WoW! I still can't believe he let her take so much off! He looks awesome! Look at those eyes!
We had fun for a few minutes in the middle of the haircut. He also had a sweet full mohawk for a moment.

Mister also got a haircut--a "scissor-snip," because he doesn't like the clippers. I didn't get photos of him, though.
