Saturday was Logan's birthday party.  Those boys sure love their  Halloween costumes!  They use them a lot. Logan always had to be Mario.  The costume is tattered and worn.  He has a brand new one from last years' birthday.  He won't wear it.  He dressed his cousin as Woody. And Gracelyn got to be Nemo. I think Wyatt was just trying to keep cool.  Saturday morning had us at the Strip District.  A restaurant supply house where JWS  had to buy this huge cooler.  Excessive?  Yes.  I had to remind him that this little Playmate cooler  used to hold everything he needed.  Sunday, Kendall got a day at the farm.  Sheep,  Cows, Horses,  Chickens, Assorted Dogs....

I finally am getting back to the growth charts that I started so long ago, or at least it seems like a long time ago. The calendar in my painting area had not been changed since February. That is a long time for me to not pick up a paintbrush. This morning I decided to tackle the book worms, which really ended up looking more like the book snake, but that's OK. Base it in with Yellow Shade with Antique Gold and a bit of Light Cinnamon. Highlight with yellow and Ivory. Some nice Red stripes, shaded with Maroon and highlighted with a little drybrush of Yellow. Some Black details, and those are done. Did I mention that I am making two of these at the same time? And the first yard sale finds of the season, Box $1, Old Hymnal .50 and bundle of ric rac and trims .50. Not a huge haul, but it broke the ice on this season's shopping.
