I'm kind of a big deal

Last year my friend Natalee had a crazy idea to make felt costumes for chickens. I did some photography for her, and she started an Etsy shop. Then, we made a calendar. She was recently featured in Chickens Magazine (again I took pictures). 

And now, well, it's kind of a big thing.

The 2015 calendar has just come back from the printer. And may soon be available on the Reddit marketplace.

  Its been a interesting way to keep up on my photography skills, and so much fun. All proceeds from the calendar (and costume sales) go to local animal charities. 

If you are curious, here is the Etsy Link.

Happy Halloween!

Odin had a field trip on Friday morning. I am not sure if it was a strategic plan by his teacher, knowing that the students would be rowdy due to Halloween being only hours away.  I chaperoned the field trip to the farmers market (in the rain). The kids were supposed to fill out a worksheet with items for sale and different offerings, but it was a free for all where the band was playing, and it ended up in a spontaneous 60 kid conga line.

We met up with friends later for the "main event". This was the 2nd year that we went to the same neighborhood (a friends grandparents live there). It is like sit-com Halloween. I was so taken aback by the volume of people on the street that I had to take a picture. 

This is a residential street!

Odin was Star Lord (from Guardians of the Galaxy) 

 

  Saturday night we all went to a Halloween Party. Odin came too, but it seems we have no pictures of him there. We take the RV every year, because it is about 80 miles away. Sunday morning, John put in a new alternator in to the Chev Chalet, that we bought on the way up.

John was unable to find the right pants. So I made him home (form a hideous dress) the morning before the party.
