Hoot Hoot

A few weeks ago I found myself in Charlotte Russe at the mall. Of course I founds some cute items to add to my collection in my closet. Not being able to fit into all my close right now gets me a little down so felling a little bummed out about that but very happy with the items I chose to buy I stood in line. While I stood there next in ling, I thought to myself, "man, I wish Lil Jess was here to help me shop," and stared off. I found myself looking at an item when I came back, I could believe what I was looking at. I have not seen this figure in over ten years from when my grandma Mac passed away. It was just like Grandma's knitted wall piece. And it was just the correct size to wear on my pointer finger. It was mine. The item you ask? A gold Owl ring. My grandma knitted an owl that hung on their walls for as long as I can remember and I loved that thing. It just feels like grandma. After paying, I walked out and with much excitement I walked very fast (not sure why) and took a picture of it with my phone and sent it to my mom. She knew exactly what I was thinking when she saw it called my right away and couldn't believe I found it either.

                               Here is a picture of what started my little "HOOT, HOOT" love lately.

Today my family, along with my dad, step mom, and our good friend The Seely's we went to the zoo. The rain wasn't so bad since we all knew that it was here to stay. A few stops into our scavenger hunt we women decided it was time for elephant ears and them men agreed. While us ladies stood in line, the guys took the young ones to the elephant area. After we received our elephant ears along with some added hot cocoa we joined them. We sat inside and watch one elephant and shared the elephant ears and cocoa with our own families. Mason loved them. At one point someone asked, "is it mean that we are sitting here eating these in front of him?" All laughed. While walking out of the building and on to our hunt behold there was a little sweet looking OWL! She was very pretty.

We went on but I kept thinking about the girl.

Once done, my parents dropped us off at home and we all took a little nap.

I needed to go the Target to pick up a few items, so I dropped my guys off at my parents house to watch the Blazer game with my dad. While dropping them off this book was taunting me. I picked it up; even though, I have looked at it about 50 times this week, and flipped through it. There was this one page with an item I really wanted to make. So, I wrote down what I needed and off I went. 

Here is what the item was. I started them and just about the time I had to get into the decorating part Patty got home and helped.  SO HERE IS MY NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN TREAT! With a special one for my cousin Allan. (Top right hand corner, I gave it glasses)

HAPPY HOOT-O-WEEN!
