GASP - Code Orange at TSC!

 ...too bad you can't actually order anything yet.   Booooo!

But I have a shopping list going!  

I'm biased that I like my HD horse better - this one's neck is too short. 
That being said, not for $599.99!!!
At least you know it's head probably won't flop back & forth like the HD one does. 
Super cool and substantial in size!
Also $599.99
96" high x 36" wide x 95" long
MINE!!!!
at 17" long x 6.25" high - that's worth the $19.99
Load me up!
They're little but I'm game to pay $4.99 for several. 
Also will be MINE!  
I have a couple I got from Michael's 2 or 3 years ago and was disappointed in how little those are. 
This one is a realistic 27" high x 17" wide x 16" long.
$69.99
I'm on the fence about this one.  I have 2 from Michael's and 1 from I think HalloweenCostumes.com
Do I need any more?  Meh
10" high x 20"long x 6.75" wide
$24.99
Cute!
6.5" high x 4" wide x 6" long
$12.99

150 Days!

Wow, I have a string of really interesting blog titles, don't I?  

But that's OK.  Just checking in anyway. 
Not a whole lot going on. 

I've seen some people on social media reporting Code Orange at At Home - I'll need to make my way there soon!  I've seen their posts in various places about "sneak peek" so maybe they'll have something in my area.  I'd like to see the little ghost paintings IRL. 

From what little I've seen so far, I don't see any really new critter skeletons like I'd like to acquire.  HalloweenCostumes.com has a 17.5" sitting wolf that's showing Out of Stock, so I've been keeping an eye on that.  
This is a possibility - it they ever get it back in stock!
HEY!  When I saw these (comes in a 2-pack) on Amazon before, they had them listed as 'wolves' but now they're on there as 'puppy' and 'dog'.  Which is a better description, I guess.  They kind of look like Beagles with wigs.  Funny, but I think I'll pass. 

I'll eventually see what inspires me. 

Last weekend we got out the fire pit and made S'mores.
 
THIS is how marshmallows should be done!
However I am in the minority in my household. 
I even let the grandkids try a bite - the granddaughter actually ate some, but her nose was turned up the whole time and the grandson spit his out.  Guess they're not fans. 
That's OK - that just means I don't ever have to roast their marshmallows for them! 

We also let off some fireworks recently - the video is on IG.
We laughed that we were the first people to let off (unexpectedly) obnoxious fireworks in the neighborhood this year!
Chad at work looked especially fabulous in the early morning sun. 
I thought this was funny - the # of notifications in that folder....
Apparently the FrightMaps update wanted to get attention! 
We finally caught the ice cream truck!  We've heard it in the neighborhood several times but either missed them when they went by or they didn't come down our street!
I thought this was hilarious!  Saw it on Facebook Marketplace. 
I have this same blowmold - hope mine's not haunted, either!

So I still have plans (and materials!) for 2 props that actually move that didn't get made last year.  I'll have to break down and have the Spouse help me out.  It's difficult to plan a "build" when there are 2 little helpers around!
