Well, we have a 12 year old in three more days. I really do not know how the time escaped us. It seems like one minute we're ringing in the New Year and before you know it's summer break. Now here we are at the end of October!
For the past few weeks, we have been racking our brains about "what to wear for Halloween". My daughter has always been very gracious about donning my crafty concoctions, but this year we were at a loss for not only ideas, but time. Then, the epiphany came; we were going to be stick figures!!!
Perhaps you have seen those little stick figure families on the back of mini-vans and SUV's: the dad, the mom, the child, and even the dog! Well, why not translate the idea into a Halloween costume. All it took was 15 minutes of time, a roll of packing tape and 20 packages of glow-n-the dark light sticks. With a little snipping, twisting and taping we became a walking glow-n-the-dark minivan bumper sticker!!!
I really can not tell you how much fun we had, and how much fun people had watching us postulate and pose. It was a beautiful, balmy fall evening...a rarity as it us usually snowy and icy here in the mountains this time of year. It was so much fun driving down the road and seeing people gawk and slam on their brakes as these neon stick figures cruised by. People yelled out. "Hey, I like your costumes!"
Our inexpensive little digital Kodak camera will never do justice, but John was able to take a few pictures of Whit & I. Oh how I would have loved to capture all three of us on film. We ended up closing a dark evening on a very bright note! Hope you had fun too!
