Halloween craziness on Candy Mountain
This isn't the HALF of it...we were so busy answering the door, we barely had time to take any photos! On Halloween, nearly 30 adults and kids showed up (in shifts, thankfully) to celebrate in the coolest trick-or-treat neighborhood in the world. I know for a fact that someone up the street was giving out full-size Hershey bars! Oh, to be a little kid. Most of the kids visiting our house hardly ever eat candy. Believe me, they liked it. A lot. Here are a few memorable shots taken in between doorbells.
God Bless Little Hattie
Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray,but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me,
and do not forbid them;
for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 19:13-14

Hattie Jane: Five months old today!
Cute little doll face, fluttery eyelashes, and a melty smile. Yep, Mommy likes unique adjectives, but there aren't enough in the world to describe our Hattie. Happy five months, beauty!

Paperback Goldmine
So Hattie and I ventured to the children's books section at Barnes & Noble today. I was growing more discontented with every shelf we passed. I saw far too many books written by celebrities or politicians. Jenna Bush and the other one "wrote" a book; there was another one called "John McCain: My Dad" or some crap like that. Finally I decided to just ask the lady to help me. Here is the exchange. Nana Kay will find this particularly amusing.
Hattie's Mom: " Excuse me, can you help me find the Stephen Cosgrove books?"
Book Lady: "Are you looking for 'Serendipity?'"
HM (disapointed): "Is that the only one you have?"
BL (matter-of-factly): "I keep trying to get more copies, but they sell out immediately and I can hardly get them to send me more."
HM: "Oh, I thought I could just walk in and buy them."
BL (incredulously): "Are you kidding? All of his books- even Serendipity- are extremely hard to find!"
HM (coming to realization): "Oh gee, I guess I'm lucky. I have the entire collection in paperback."
BL (also coming to a realization): "You don't know how lucky you are!!!"
Thank you Nana Kay!
