Typically, we aren't the type of family to celebrate a frivolous holiday but we made an exception as the "racking-frackin" deer won't stay out of our plots...even with electric fencing (more on our fencing strategy in a latter post). Pa had recently gone through his closet so we had a lovely pair of black dress slacks and a terry cloth lined robe to work with. Erin sewed some old work gloves to the sleeves of the robe and closed up the neck of and old t-shirt for the head. Meriah was an expert belly shape-er and straw stuffer. Add a broken sun hat and a pair of Ma's dangly earrings for eyes and we were looking pretty good.

| We tied the legs with big rubber bands and stuffed straw until we had an appropriate "redonk-badonk"...for scaring of deer, of course;). |
 |
| We left the arms hanging free so they could blow menacingly in the wind. |
 |
| We used wire to tie off the bottom of the robe and as buttons to close the front. |
 |
| The all important, life-like belly shaping. |
 |
| It's really windy here, so we used a lot of wire for security. |
 |
| More wire... |
 |
| Lots o' wire... |
 |
| Sparkly eyes! |
 |
| Handsome guy, right? |
