Halloween Fun
So I’ve continued to be busy! I’ve been subbing and working SuperCuts — Bible study, working with the Confirmation class, and keeping up with book study etc. It’s been hectic. I stayed up late several nights in a row, working on costumes and doing things like that.
Ducky went as Madonna, and since she left early for school and then went straight to work, no pictures of her.
LadyBug went as Calypso. Her costume turned out GREAT! Loved it! She looked awesome!
The rest of evening was spent carving pumpkins. Although I carved one earlier in the day, the piece de resistance was my “Tribute to Poe”. Ducky, LadyBug and friends carved pumpkins a few days earlier. So with out further ado — the jack o lantern patch!
And the “Tribute to Poe”…
Awesome right? Loved it! I think I’m going to do MadamZephyrus did and by some foam pumpkins next year. That way I won’t have to toss my favorite creations! This one is one I would definitely do for a keeper!
In other news:
Ducky, Adopted daughter and two of their friends had quite a fright. They were at a park hanging out. Some guys that Ducky’s boyfriend knew showed up drunk and began fighting. A shotgun appeared – Ducky and crew were across the park when it showed up and they ran the other way. Another guy pulled out a lead pipe and hit the shot gun kid over the head a couple of times. They were fighting by the kids cars. The other kids ran off, Ducky’s boyfriend called 911, the other friend is studying to be an EMT so he started administering first aid. The police showed up, questioned everyone and then released them. A few days later the police showed up at school and interviewed all the witnesses — and told them they would probably have to testify in court. The boy with the shotgun is being charged with possession of a firearm and the other kid for attempted murder. Pretty frightening stuff.
I’m so glad T and M ( the guys ) were there. They remained calm and did all the right things, first telling the drunk kids to get away from them, running and hiding when the shotgun appeared, calling the police, administering first aid — and even staying calm through it all. Ducky was quite terrified by the whole situation, and is nervous at the idea of going to court, but otherwise both her and Adopted daughter are fine!!
So it’s been an interesting Halloween!
Hope everyone’s Halloween was awesome!

Haven’t seen you for a long time. Glad you come back.
The pumpkins are wonderful! I am always amazed by this amount of expertise. My pumpkins were lucky to have the most basic cuts for two eyes and a nose and a mouth.
Wow, that Poe pumpkin is so cool!
That story about the shotgun is so scary!
Wow sounds like quite an evening girl! Have a good week!
Cutie Calypso! What a great idea. I love your pumpkin creations too!
What a scare for the kids… and you. I am so glad that they were not hurt.
Pumpkin creations are awesome. Lady bug’s was really neat. Story about the shot gun, sounds really scary. I’m just glad everyone is alright.
Your pumpkins are awesome!
That sounds like a really bad situation that could have been deadly. Glad the kids knew what to do so it didn’t go from bad to worse.
Her costume and those pumpkins are awesome! Glad everyone is ok….
OMG, I can’t imagine how scary that must have been for her and for you hearing about it. I’m so glad they are ok.
I won’t be posting pic’s of my pumpkins now that I’ve seen yours…..:wink-wink:
Just wondering how you are, still staying busy?
