A-ho-ho-ho Matey!

A-ho-ho-ho Matey!

We have these neighbors that we almost never see. (Sometimes we call them the "Mole People") We've made overtures to them from time to time but still nothing. Part of it is their work schedules and that they have three very young children (all under the age of 5) so their social life is structured much like ours was ten years ago. That means that they really don't have one.

They have a flagpole at the end of their driveway, right next to one side of our circular driveway. Usually they have Old Glory flying there and sometimes a Chicago Bears flag as Mr. Mole works for the McCaskey organization. Back in October they put up this really cool skull and crossbones for Halloween. The problem is that it is still up now, the week before Christmas.

I took it upon myself to add a little (current) holiday style the other night. It is just some red fabric safety pinned in place and a white pom-pom made from white acrylic yarn.

I'm still waiting for someone else on the cul-de-sac to notice. If he stays up long enough, I have my Easter Bunny ears all planned out.

  1. Oh, I'm so jealous! I want neighbors like you instead of the ones we have now. :-) Nice work on the transformation of Santa-Bones.

  2. Can you come to my house to decorate? My children keep asking me why everyone else has their decorations up, but we don't have anything!! I reply, "That's because Mommy needs her two hours of sleep!"
