Henry Trick-or-Treating with his Grandma Lou Ann and BFF Amelia.
(I was going to un-red-eye Amelia, but I liked how the eyes matched her Devil outfit!)

And more Halloween fun:

James was a hotdog (everyone has worn that for their first Halloween, check out baby Otto and baby Henry rockin' the hotdog suit!)


Otto & Henry getting ready to go.

Lots more here!

Fuck you, squirrels! We grew all these pumpkins in our garden, and the damn squirrels have been taking them out one at a time. And of course, they're not content to just keep eating the ones they've already destroyed. Can I put poison in a pumpkin? Or maybe I just need a BB gun.

Fire-Breathing Demon Halloween Sweater

I made this sweater about a million years ago (ok, only ten) and just now got around to taking a picture of it. Used the instructions in Kate Buller's "Style Your Own Kids Knits" and Rowan Cotton DK yarn. This was my first sweater, and my first colorwork ever, and I messed up the tension, so the demon is a little bumpy, but I still love it. I even made the buttons.

James seemed to like wearing it on his first trip to the pumpkin patch, too!
