Raggedy Ann



This is the costume I got Mandolin for Halloween. Several of the reviews stated that the costume was so loved the girls wearing it refused to take it off. I thought that this was overblown, but after I put it on Manolind, she refused to take it off. She loves the whole outfit. A lot of kids hate hats, but mine loves them. She also likes socks, which this costume has. It's sized 2t-4t, so she's swallowed up a bit in it, but that's okay. When it came time to put the costume away, WW3 took place, but a quick trip to the consequence chair knocked that out. For now, it's up high in a safe place. I can't wait to take her out in it. Last year she couldn't walk yet, so this year is the real deal for trick-or-treating.

  2. Bert, there isn't any trick-or-treating at hour house, i don't think dead jews celebrate, anyway, we go to a yuppie community near one of my aunt's houses and trick-or-treat as a massive hillbilly troupe. i don't know if we'll be doing that this year though as i called CPS on a relative and i think they figured out that it was me. calling cps on relatives uninvites you to all sorts of family gatherings.

  3. Since you can read and write, I have to assume that put you on the short list of suspects. But please tell us the story!

  4. you made me snort and laugh bert, thanks!

    i went tog et my sister's kids from my cousin the crack whore who watches them (they don't go to school even though they're 6 and 7). Anyway, i was sitting and tring to have a nice conversation, i should get rewarded for that, when in comes the bf of the crack whore. she said he needed $300 more because they didn't get enough. Another cousin came in (who is in drug rehab in order to see his kids) and they had a conversation about how much "smoke" you could get with $300 and what a pain it is to not get enough. Cousin 2 wanted to go with the BF to check out the "smoke," but the bf didn't want him to go along. Because I'm not stupid and know that bf has served time in jail for drug crimes and that crack whore is a crack whore and that cousin 2 is in drug rehab to see his kids, and i think if he does do the rehab, he doesn't get his SSI (but that's another issue), it didn't take me too long to realiz that "smoke" was drugs. I talked to a friend whose aunt is a social worker and a report was filed. Of course, my name wasn't mentioned, but it isn't too hard to put two and two together and figure out that it was me. i'd also like to mention that CPS might go after my sister because she isn't sending her kids to school and what she calls "home schooling" doesn't fit our state's laws as to just what home schooling is. When one home schools their kids, you're supposed to actually teach them, not let them play nicktunes.com all day. So calling CPS might be a domino effect through my family causing thanksgiving to be really quiet this year.

  6. Where are your sister's kids now? Were you ratting her out, or the crack whore cousin? Does the crack whore cousin have kids? When did you sister lose all sense of proportion when it came to her offspring?

  7. Does Mandolin have a real Raggedy Ann doll to carry along so she can be twins?
