Halloween: Phineas and Ferb Pumpkin

Halloween doesn't excite me. Sure, when I was little the idea of getting dressed up and getting candy was kinda fun....for about 5 minutes and then I wanted to go home. *laughing* I was odd like that!

Now every year the Hubs likes to hand out candy and this year the Bubs got to help. Oh, they had so much fun! The Bubs got to wear a silly cowboy hat and be his social self and the Hubs got a kick, as he always does, out of the little kids in their cute get ups.


We also carve a pumpkin every year. Up above you see the Bubs doing the dirty work for me with the pumpkin. ;o)






Last year's pumpkin sported Thomas the Tank Engine. This year it was all about Phineas and Ferb. Y'all, I couldn't find a P & F pumpkin carving template anywhere! I ended up drawing a free hand template while I looked at coloring pages online. Eek!



In between handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, the Hubs told me that the pumpkin was a hit with the parents and kids alike! One lady even took a picture with her camera phone.

I hope y'all enjoyed your weekend and have a wonderful week!

We've been Phineas and Ferb-ified.

I've always liked animated movies and shows. I went from watching He-man, Shera (did I spell those correctly?) and G.I. Joe right along to X-Men and Animaniacs as a teen. I married a man who still enjoys watching those things and has taken me down other avenues such as Japanese animation or Anime. Inuyasha, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Full Metal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin just to name a few.

Yes, I had to look those up to make sure I spelled them right!

Then we had kids and we were thrust into the arena of the PBS station, Disney Channel and Noggin (now Nick Jr.). Shows like Thomas and Friends, Toot and Puddle, Olivia, Curious George, Handy Manny were, and still are, some of our faves.

Unfortunately, the Bubs is getting older and his tastes are changing. We've noticed him trying to watch the more obnoxious and totally inappropriate 'toons....not good. So we broke out the channel blocks on certain channels and let him know which shows were okay to watch.

Then we discovered Phineas and Ferb. Y'all this show is hilarious! We watch it as a family and have even set it up to record on the DVR. I've even been known to watch it when the Bubs isn't here....
