Plastic Milk Jug Skeleton
This is a favorite Halloween Decoration...one of those with a story. I take it out every year and remember how it came to be part of my Halloween Decorations.
It was made by Tina Sweet, Katherine's Sunbeam (Church) Teacher. Seven years ago, Tina and her mother made one for each of the children in her class and filled the center rib area with Halloween Treats.
This may not seem that unusual, yet, Tina Sweet holds a dear place in our hearts. She has been the Sunbeam and/or Nursery Teacher for every one of our children, except for 26 year old Curt.
Jeffrey is now 24, Andrew is now 21, Katherine is now 10, Megan is now 8. Tina has helped raise each of our children and been such a support to me as a mother. Now Tina has a little boy of her own.
This is hanging in the potted ficus tree on my patio. It scares me every time I catch it in my peripheral vision. Sometimes I want to go move it so I won't get scared at night when it is moving in the breeze. Even being scared, I love this decoration. Halloween would not be the same without it. I enjoy the memory associated with it, also.

I remember the first time I saw your skeleton. Remember I took photos of him? It took me forever to save the gallon milk jugs (NY is the only one who drinks milk. I have to put rice milk on my cereal) but Cody and I finally made our own little skeleton. He has Cody's feet and hands and is hanging in our foyer. I'll post a photo!
