Mimi has had a Christmas village for years and has endured plenty of good natured kidding about it over the years. I never thought I would be the village type but lo and behold we are now the proud owners of a Halloween village. The pic doesn't do it justice because it really is cool! Owen and I were in Garden Ridge the other day on our 47th trip to find stuff for his party and saw that all of it was 50% off. So.....we just couldn't pass the bargain up :) The entire time that I was loading our overflowing cart full of village stuff I kept saying, "your father is going to kill me!". Owen's response was "if he's REALLY mad, we'll just take it all back". The funny thing is, Bryan doesn't care and never gets mad.
Preparations for Owen's Halloween birthday party are on. We actually make it into a two month event to shop, figure out decorations, food, etc. I figure that he won't think an at home party is cool forever so I need to take advantage of it while I can!!
And just because, a pic of Owen in the bouncer. He thought it would be a great idea to put our inside cats in the bouncer in the backyard. They were not so entertained and Num Nums quickly figure out how to claw her way up the netting to escape.

that's a nice village! I might have to look for some after Halloween sales.
Is Owen's bday actually on Halloween?

Stephanie--I so remember that villiage on that huge television in y'all's living room (I also remember loving the big light bulbs coming down the stairs. My mom would only put lights on the tree, and I was so jealous. And, of course, singing the 12 days of Christmas at the annual Christmas Eve party with your grandfather). Hee--it is funny how we try not to become our parents, and then-oops!-we become them!
