Gnome Invasion

Mollie has always been drawn to fairies and little woodland creatures. Her attention has been particularly focused on garden gnomes lately. She seeks them out where ever we go. She paints them, writes stories about them, dreams-up wacky "what if" scenarios about them, even works them into her class projects! Most recently she has taken to decorating her room with them. You can't swing a dead cat in there without hitting a gnome! I'll give you 3 guesses at what she's going to be for Halloween...

This little fella bids you "Howdy ho!" as you enter Mollie's room.

Class project...a store that sells gnomes and gnome related accessories.

This one creeps me out a little. Sorry, Mom.

I don't own one Gnome. After being inspired by Mollie, I may just go out and get me one. I think my neighbor has one. He'll never miss it!

Well thanks! and I thought someone really loved me! And all because of you little miss Mollie, before I left town, I stole (borrowed) my neighbor's gnome. Yes you made me do it! When I got home it was gone! Someone stole it from me!!!! I'm totally freaked out! There is a thief in my hood! I demand safe return of My Gnome!!!!
