That family that dresses oddly together..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (a day late). I hope this finds you all as candy bloated as I am. We had a very fun night with

my Rockin Clone Trooper




Batman




A Killer Bee (thanks J)



and last but not least, after much discussion on costumes, my eldest son the
"non descript" hippie.




When Connor decided on the hippie costume.. I knew EXACTLY what he would wear.. it's orange, belled sleeves, and far out embroidery was the perfect choice.

It's not just any shirt though. It's a family tradition....

(and hand sewn by my mom some 40 odd years ago) :)

I love love that! I remember I was a flower child one year. My mom gave me an old pair of her bell bottoms and let me fabric paint big dasies all over them. It was so cool.

This is cool too!

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

By -
A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

I have a friend

By -
I have a friend who I am blatantly stealing this blog idea from. She inspires me, even when she doesn't know she's doing it. She balances me, she isn't afraid to tell me I'm being ridiculous, and loves me when I am. I have a friend who makes me laugh always. She's colorful, in personality and language, and has a heart of pure gold when it comes to her friends and family. I have a friend who I like to live vicariously through, the things she does, amazes me. I have a friend who is beautiful inside and out. She shows caring and compassion in times when I am not sure I could.  I have a friend who has been by my side forever, and I know she will always be right there (even when miles separate us) I have a friend who amazes me with her courage. She looked straight into the face of death and said "not gonna happen", she is strong, she is brilliant she is a true survivor. I have a friend  who has shown me how to walk through the tough parts of life.  ...
