Baby Ghosts
Halloween 2006
Okay, this is the second time trying to write and post this. I'll not try again, so it had better work. (click on the pics to see them larger)
Did we have some cute trick or treaters or what?? Of course, they were our ONLY ones, but by far the cutest. Toby and Bowen wore outfits like the babies back in 2001. Wait, let me go dig up the picture . . .

I do have some funky hairstyles, don't I?
It was a quiet night - after the boys came over we watched Casper, The Friendly Ghost, ate popcorn and played with babies.
I managed to finish the quilt my Mom made for my Grandmother's 90th birthday (tomorrow). I just got it 2 weeks ago. Yes. 2 weeks. So I quilted it in my copius spare time.
