99 days! I DO need intervention.

Woohoo!  We're in the double digits!  

Now I feel I need to dig out all the bits & pieces I've collected to make the headstone peeker guy I wanted to do last year, and didn't.  Let's just hope I can find where the reindeer motor & all the rest of the stuff is!  

Following up from the last post....

Welcome Larry!  

I think he might need a plain green onesie so he matches Chuck instead of being naked. 

The grandson really likes Larry, so it'll be tough to keep him safe!

I picked him up from JoAnn Fabrics - where I learned that they offer a military discount!  

So that + sale + coupon I had to look around. 

OMG - DONKEY!  

How freaking cute is this?? 

I obviously bought it.  Along with a couple pairs of H'ween socks. 

I don't do unboxing videos or anything - which is good since look at this quality packing job from Target...

These are my penguins - one of which was decapitated. 

It looks like it should be fixable. 

Larry's little brother - to be named soon. 

The penguins are still really cute, tho!  

I'm glad I looked at the dimensions when I ordered so I wasn't surprised at the size.  

They're exactly what I was expecting. 

And because I'm a glutton for punishment - I put in another Target order. 

I couldn't resist their chicken!  So I got 2. 

And a roll of creepy cloth for the front windows. 

A cousin sent me a FB message - normally when I get a random message from someone I haven't talked to in a while, it's something cheesy that I've seen 100 times already.  

Not this time!

Oh HELLO!  

Last year, Tractor Supply didn't have any mention of H'ween on their website until mid-August - they're on the ball really early this year!  

I'm sure everyone has been the hilarious giant 6' chicken skeleton they have this year, but they also have a 3' rooster and slightly smaller hen!  

So I have an order in with them, too.  I'll be picking this stuff up on August 1.  

I've never seen a flock of chickens that were all the same kinds, so why not have a variety?

This donkey is similar in size to the cow & pony that I got last year. 

I stopped by Lowe's yesterday and picked up a 2'x2' sheet of plywood and some screws since I am going to make some blinders (for lack of a better description) for the major floodlights in the cemetery this year.  I'll make that its own post since I made a scale pattern out of paper and everything! 

Thankfully I keep a list of what I've bought and from where so I can keep track of what I have, what I need and when things should be delivered.

Now to keep me out of the stores / websites!
