We are treasuring the fact that our daughter still wants to dress up with us. After adopting Oscar, we knew we needed to get him into the holiday spirit and be part of our family Halloween costume. Our daughter suggested The Wizard of Oz and we loved the idea. I especially loved the fact that…
This past weekend was the Greenbelt Pumpkin Festival, an event the whole community looks forward to every year. It starts Friday afternoon after school in the town center. Shlagel Farms donates hundreds of pumpkins and the city sets up picnic tables and a stage. For the first hour it’s set up for little kids with…
Hope you had a fun weekend and enjoy this evening! Our town has a costume parade every Friday before Halloween. This year we dressed as a family when Emerson decided she wanted to be Wednesday Addams. Karl had the nickname Lurch when he was a teen so it was a given who he would dress…
