Busted

So, I love Halloween. Here are a few of my favorite things for Halloween. The middle picture is my most favorite of all!! Sporting her spider hat she made.

Grace was not feeling good so we hopped in the car so I bought us both slurpee's to make her feel better. That's right- me enjoying a slurpee makes her feel better. Don't judge. We drove down a beautiful country road with the window rolled down to feel the fall breeze. I spotted some perfect branches to make my Halloween trees. Maybe I planned on poaching branches before I left and maybe I didn't. Don't judge. While I was picking up the branches on the side of the road all of sudden I heard a loud police siren . I was so startled I jumped and screamed, and when I turned around there was a police officer looking at me. He asked me what I was doing, so I replied picking up branches for my house (I failed to mention that it was for Halloween or how cute they would look in my house spray painted black). He told me to have a good day and stay on public property. He turned around and looked at my car with all the windows down with the Sesame Street CD blasting. So what if he thought he'd found a crazy branch collector? After I got in the car, Grace asked me if I was in trouble. So, I got my branches for my front porch and my trees inside without having to get T.J. to bail Grace and I out.

It was only a matter of time. How you got by this far without being caught is a mystery. You have always been a foliage caper!
Ms. Grace is getting too big. She looks so big in that picture it makes me feel sad. I love her so and you guys as well!
I love the witch on the front door. That was a great purchase I am glad you got it!

That's hilarious. Now that I know the story behind it...your branches look even better than before! Mike and I drove up the canyon a while ago to get wood for our fire pit in the back yard...luckily the police didn't stop us!
