    A little cutie, indeed. I am at my brother’s in Florida and I couldn’t believe how many children, big and little, came to the door. I’m thinking there were lots of tummy aches today!

    What a great house! I love when people really go out for Halloween … it makes the day so much fun! Your princess is adorable as well. I miss the days of cute costumes … when they are teenager the cute just goes away.

    those are the greatest decorations of the spiders, and that ghost is awesome. I can’t believe every time I see a new pic of Graylyn, she looks so much older! Loved her costume. She’s beautiful.

    Oh my goodness! Your pics are great of you and your family. I’m loving that first pic of the giant spider with the guy rolled up in a web. Hilarious! Those are some creative people. Congrats to the lucky winners too!

    Oh Shirley, you’re granddaughter is just a doll — so cute!!! I love the costume; it brings back memories. Our son and his friends LOVED Pokemon for many years; hard to believe he’s a senior in college now.

    I love the cute “Casper” ghost. Believe it or not, that was one of my favorite cartoons when I was growing up. But — the spiders are too much for me. I guess I’m an arachnaphobe because I really, really hate spiders. They scare me to death.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Hugs,

    Denise

    I just reviewed your October posts, and I was struck by how beautiful your photographs are and how far you have come from the hatching of this “blog business”. I enjoyed reading about the feature on Blogtalk. It is interesting to follow your path from tentative beginner to big-time conference organizer and Blogstar. Thanks for the valuable information and interesting stories, my friend!
