Hoodlums and Pirates

I am very blessed to have such a unique group of friends

one such person who always brings out the child in me

is my wonderfully adorable friend Ashlee

We don't get together half as often as I would like

but when we do

we have the greatest adventures.

Such as the Valentine's Tea Party where we visited the land of the dolls

do you remember that?

Ashlee and I met in Color Theory class... Ashlee is the most amazing artist!!!

It's quite funny to think that when I first met

Ashlee was going through a bit of a ruff yet ruffly faze

and to this day my family calls her the pirate girl

So I guess it was simply in the cards

that she should stay with us during the pirate festival weekend here in P town

I hadn't planned on going... being the home-body that I am

so I was quite pleased with the pirate gear I found lying around the house.

It was a perk that hubby had a pirate hat from his college days

I LOVE THAT MAN!!

Dressing up is so much fun!

And many of you have inquired about my halloween plans

and I am very very sorry to report that I won't be celebrating this year

Perhaps things shall change

but as things stand

I have no pumpkins, no candy, no costume

NOTHING!

It's all really rather sad

but it's been such a HARD month so far and I just feel like laying low

at any rate last year the only trick or treaters we got where "big" kids with bandanas

claiming to be hoodlums

well i'm quite tired of hoodlums myself!

We've had quite enough for one month thank you very much!!!!!
