Voting!

 I took William to early voting this morning, and look who happened to show up just after we did.

There was no waiting at the Rhodes-Jordan Park Community Center and all of the volunteers were helpful and friendly. William wasn't as nervous voting this time as the first time he voted in Tennessee. One more case of Successful Adulting.

Halloween Beauty

It's always great when you can solve a household problem quick as a wink. 

 Hannah wanted to dress up for Halloween for her shift at the tavern bud didn't have anything at hand. I overheard David telling her that we had a bin full of costumes (he thought in our closet, but not) and that I had (at one time) a goddess costume. 

I quietly went to check my closet and found something even better: My purple and black velvet dragon dress. I've had it forever, so it was small enough to fit Hannah with the bodice ties pulled in a bit. She loved it and was a hit at the tavern.

Score one for Auntie Mo!

 

 

Jayne the Skeleton Gets a New Hat

Looking for a new winter knitting project, I hopped onto Esty and look for a pattern for a specific hat. For those of you who are Fire Fly fans, you'll probably remember when Jayne's mom made him a hat. I found a very simple pattern by WoolfsClothing and tried it out using some yarn and needles I had on hand (it's been a while since I've knit anything and wasn't sure I'd be able to pull it off).

 

 As you can see, it turned out a bit small. But I found a use for it.
