Halloween Gift From Hubby

My hubby thought he was so clever to make me a card and give me a basket with my favorite candy for Halloween. He made the card with copy paper and then stapled it to the basket. When I started to remove it from the basket he said, "Wait! Aren't you going to take a picture to share?"

So here is the Halloween card my hubby made for me. I guess he decided he should start showing more interest in my hobby since I spent Sunday afternoon learning how to operate one of his "toys"

Here is me learing to use the back hoe
