Sunday afternoon.

Today we visited our sweet little Carly.

We visit her often, but today

we wanted to decorate her grave site for fall/Halloween.

We think it looks pretty good.

Carly would likely agree.

Wish I could remember to take my real camera

and not just use my cell phone.

Either way,

her grave is decorated for the season

and that's all that matters.

We placed mums on either side of the headstone.

Pumpkins and a cute little scarecrow girl!

And even a bale of straw (fake!),

along with some Indian corn too.

Afterward, we stood and cried.

Wishing so badly that we were thinking

about Halloween costumes and school parties.

But that is not our reality.

This stupid cemetery is.

And with that, we have to do the best we can.

So decorate for our girl, we will do.

Not sure that I ever posted her grave after we

placed the scaled down versions of

her Little Tike Toys, which still

remain in our backyard.

All the mini versions you see in this picture,

are the exact duplicates to the toys that

Carly LOVED to play on each and every day.

Often times for hours on end.

There is even a little dog that sits in within

the toys in this picture.

It looks like her little cockapoo, Penny.

The only ting missing within these toys,

is her beloved swing set.

Oh she loved to swing, swing, swing!

I would love to find a mini/model type

swing set too, but haven't been able to find one.

Yes, this is how we spent our Sunday afternoon.

With our sweet little Carly.
