Your Spin Cycle Prompt for 11/10

“Beauty is in the Hand of the Beerholder.” I saw this saying on a T-shirt AFTER Gretchen and I decided what this week’s Spin Cycle prompt is! I had dinner at a brewery last night, and enjoyed some pumpkin beer and good conversation.

The prompt, however, is not about beer. It’s about beauty. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is how the real saying goes. One of my favorite sonnets from Shakespeare begins “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun.” Is beauty is only skin deep?

What is your definition of beauty?

Join Gretchen from Second Blooming and me this week as we write about beauty! Link up your post anytime this week, and then come back on Friday to read what Gretchen and I have to say about beauty.

Second Blooming
We’re looking forward to reading what you have to say!

Halloween Show and Tell

Halloween, nablopomo, Spin Cycle

It rained on Halloween this year. It rained, and rained, and rained, but it wasn’t very cold so my girls had loads of fun running from door to door and collecting candy with their friends. We all were carrying umbrellas, but that didn’t really help us stay dry. We didn’t trick-or-treat as far as we would have if the weather was nicer; and after we went inside to dry out, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds for just a couple of minutes. I saw on Facebook that we missed a beautiful rainbow. Oh, well, these things happen.

My girls are so sweet and aren’t picky about their costumes. Lily doesn’t like change, anyway, so she wore the bat costume I made for her last year again. She loves it because it’s made out of a black sweatshirt, so it keeps her warm and she doesn’t have to wear her coat over it!

Emmy wanted to be Taylor Swift, but I really didn’t want to try to make her look like Taylor Swift for the school parade! At the last minute, I found ladybug antenna and a Little Red Riding Hood costume at Target, so I transformed it into a ladybug dress. Emmy loves the Ladybug Girl books, so she went right along with this idea.

After seeing Tamara’s Halloween pictures of her little bunny, (be sure to go read about her Halloween this year!) I knew I had to show you a picture of Lily as a bunny. She was almost two years old.

And here is my little piggy Emmy, when she was about 15 months old. She was a happy little piggy!
