I love Halloween and Christmas. My only issue is that I don’t like moving things into the shed to make room for the decorations. I feel as though I lose my house for those months. This year I’ve decided to only put out the things that I really love and donate the rest. I did buy two things to add, but I really loved them both.

I love Bethany Lowe halloween decor. It’s just so very expensive. I was online and saw this cat they had at Walmart. I checked online to see if any stores around us had it. Nope, not a one. I even went to Walmart because a lot of the time the inventory they say they have is wrong. I found the hole where it used to be, but no cat. I decided to go ahead and order it online. When I went to checkout I noticed that the shipping was almost as much as the item. No thanks.

Jack and I had to make a Walmart run so I checked again online before we left and the website said they had it in stock. When we got there there was still just the empty space. While we were shopping I ordered it as a pickup. By the time we got home I had an email saying that it wasn’t available for pickup but they could ship it to me for free. Why yes, that would be great. Two days later I got my cat in the mail.

I absolutely love it and am tempted to just keep it out year round. My decor is already kind of weird so it would fit right in.

Jackson and I also went thrifting and I found this guy for a dollar and had to have him.

I’m not sure what he’s made out of, maybe a gourd, maybe paper mache. I’m just not sure, but he’s so ugly he’s cute.

We have been getting night visitors for a few weeks. This cutie is not bothered by me in the least now.

I’m glad it’s not scared because I would hate to get sprayed.

When Donny and I were away I got these texts from the kids.

The possum is quite shy but likes to come eat the cat food. I see him just about every night. I’ve only seen the raccoon once. I’m not sure what we’re going to do about them, but they don’t bother the cats or the chickens, so that’s a plus.
