What kid would want to be bacon for Halloween?

This was actually in Parents magazine as a cool costume idea. Look at how proud the Mom looks. She looks so pleased to have her little family be a BLT, but LOOK at the boy! He looks soooo sad. I do not know any boy at that age that would like to be bacon for Halloween. Of course , now I keep teasing my 6 year old boy that I am working on this costume for us. Ha ha ha . NOT.

THE VELVET RIBBON
by Ann McGovern
Once there was a man who fell in love with a beautiful girl. And before
the next full moon rose in the sky, they were wed.
To please her husband, the young wife wore a different gown each night.
Sometimes she was dressed in yellow; other nights she wore red or blue
or white. And she always wore a black velvet ribbon around her slender
neck.
Day and night she wore that ribbon, and it was not long before her
husband's curiosity got the better of him.
"Why do you always wear that ribbon?" he asked.
She smiled a strange smile and said not a word.
At last her husband got angry. And one night he shouted at his bride.
"Take that ribbon off! I'm tired of looking at it."
You will be sorry if I do," she replied, "so I won't." Every morning at
breakfast, the husband ordered his wife to remove the black velvet
ribbon from around her neck. Every night at dinner he told her the same
thing.
But every morning at breakfast and every night at dinner, all his wife
would say was, "You'll be sorry if I do. So I won't."
A week had passed. The husband no longer looked into his wife's eyes. He
could only stare at that black velvet ribbon around her neck.
One night as his wife lay sleeping, he tiptoed to her sewing basket. He
took out a pair of scissors.
Quickly and quietly, careful not to awaken her, he bent over his wife's
bed
and
SNIP! went the scissors, and the velvet ribbon fell to the floor
and
SNAP! off came her head. It rolled over the floor in the moonlight,
wailing tearfully:
"I...told...you...you'd...be...s-o-r-r-y!"

Gifties

I want to thank my sister Cris of Mommy's Midwest Mountain for gifting me the Ghost painting that I have been eyeing for awhile. It look so cute in my kitchen. I love it! Also a special thanks to my other sister and her daughters for the very cute Mice Guards. Tamale has already taken a liking to them. They do seem to move about the house at night though. I find them in different spots when I wake up in the morning. Nino thinks they must be like Gnomes.
