"It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!"

So, the other day on the way home late at night from somewhere, i saw this thing on the side of the road, well, more like 3 things, giant glowing in the dark cold night. I went by again another night to show my sis, and decided I needed to bring the kids one time but couldn't figure out when, since they are MUCH more impressive in the dark, when they glow. Well, this afternoon they were talking about pumpkins on the way home from the store, and i remembered, and i saw it was dark and dismal out, and thought.... hmmm.. possibly a good time for a Detour ...so we went ... and here is the proof. yup, that's right, mammoth pumpkins! LOL They were SO cool!! Sammy was not overly cuddly, but Grant was speechless, and all over them, and trying to see how they lit up, and how they got so big and on and on, and he also brought home a new Acorn Collection, yippee! This one next to Sammy apparently won the prize for the heaviest pumpkin ever grown in Vermont! Wo knew! and so close to home L...

Post #200 Electrically Chraged Wallpaper ... and cows ......

So, yesterday, was ... well zippy, or maybe zappy, but anyway, it was electrifying! Heehehehehe e. For anyone who missed it, I am moving this month yes, we found a house, not a house to buy, it's a rental. Mike's company has houses they own, and rent to employe es it's a very hands off landlord type deal, we do pretty m uch everything ourselves, except like, roof, septic and such, and the rent is 450 LESS a month.So that makes it all well worth it. When Grant was younger he was very creative, and drew all over my bathroom walls with a yellow highlighter, NOT washable! I guess he was sorry later, he started to strip the wallpaper to cover the crime, even though it was a year later! LOL I felt it was up to us t get the bathroom back to decent before we leave the house, so my project has been that these past few days. It seemed so simple! Strip the wallpaper, sand the walls, put up paint. Yeah, not so much. The walls are crap! They removed tile a while back and never dealt wi...

"This is for the Birds!"

Okay, i know its a terrible Pun, but Alas, I am stricken with the most demented birds imaginable. My son ... is afraid to go outside because of "The bug's!"but I'm starting to think we should avoid the outdoors due to the Birds! All week long, every time the van is in the driveway, a bird sits on the rear veiw mirrors, and attacks the windows. ALL DAY LONG Saturday and Sunday. Now i have Beak marks and birdie doo doo on my lovely van. :P This morning, there is a bird trying to get in my house ...... every few minutes it attacks my dining room window ... then the back door window, around the house, looking for the van, then back to my window ...... so you see where i may start to get concerned . :P "The Birds" as told by the little people of Grant's room. :) go HERE to see the whole thing :)
