I don't like the time between Halloween and the weekend after Thanksgiving. I love my Halloween decorations and love love my Christmas decorations. The month of November is kinda blah as far as decorating. We went to Target today - the fourth time in the last five days - and got some 'tween stuff to hold me over. Got a bamboo pumpkin that looks more fall like than Halloween like and some matching lights for the porch. Very cute.
Also go these little blocks. By the time we put up the lights on the porch, Frick and Frack (Bodi and Brady, in case you can't keep up) had eaten the "S" and the "T".
So, Happy Harve! (pronounced Har-Vay)
BTW - in case you were wondering - Frick and Frack were two Swiss skaters who came to the U.S. in 1937 and joined the original Ice Follies show as comedy ice skaters. "Frick" was Werner Groebli (April 21, 1915 - April 14, 2008), born in Basel. "Frack" was Hansruedi (Hans Rudolf) Mauch, (May 4, 1919 - June 4, 1979), also born in Basel. Frick and Frack were known for skating in Alpine Lederhosen and performing eccentric tricks on ice, including the "cantilever spread-eagle," created by Groebli, and Mauch's "rubber legs," twisting and bending his legs while skating in a spread eagle position. Only a few skaters have successfully performed the duo's routines since.
