halloween preview and a pond

kinda a weird combination i know, but the kids' costumes and the pond daddy made is the talk of the house lately. i gave in to the commercialism of the holiday by letting the kids choose their costumes--no cutesie family theme this year. but the girls are both gonna be lady bugs so i guess its a small victory. more spooky cooky fun to come. fishies are swimming and turtles are on their way. its a fun new obsession for 'em.
