The Tale of Trick-or-Treat and the Headless Mouse

Here comes a little Halloween tale! I love Halloween and got inspired by ashmimi.com to do some wreaths earlier this month. I wish I had so many cute things I could create costumes for my critters, but well! I have been busy this month, with an exam and being ill,  and this thing took a week to shoot! XD The story is very picture heavy and maybe a little bit spooky as well!

Enjoy and happy Halloween!

"Children!" Mr. Springer said when the last class had ended. "Have you heart the tale of the Haunted Mansion?" he asked his class.

The children where all silent. Some of them, who had lived in Lingondale, had heard about the Haunted Mansion before. As well as it's inhabitant, the Headless Mouse.

"I have heard about it." little Iona Dale said.

"It's an old, old story." Mr. Springer said. "Dating back to when the mansion was first built."

"The Headless Mouse was not always headless, but he lost it because he was a bad man, it was his punishment." Mr. Springer said and dramatically turned his back against his students. "But when they brought his body back to be buried, weird things began to happen at the mansion!"

Mr. Springer took a pause. "Cookie jars went missing, one could hear strange sounds at night!" he said. The children sat completely quiet, capivated by Mr. Springer's story. Except for Joanne who felt very embarrassed. "No one have lived there for 200 years after what happened that one night..." Mr. Springer said.

He ended his story there and returned to the black board. "Will you go trick or treat tonight?" he asked his class. The girls nodded their heads, they had planned it all already. "It will be the first time!" Evelyn Waterbrook said and smiled. "Well, watch out for the Headless Mouse!" Mr. Springer said and laughed!

The Springer Kangaroo Family

Bruce and Sheila Springer moved to Lingondale as newly weds where they bought a little cottage on Applewood Lane. Bruce immediately started up the cricket team that most of the males in Sylvania takes time in. Bruce works as a P.E. teacher at the Lingondale School as well.

I bought this family at Toys'r'us again, but in November. They are just so adorable, and I love little Josie and how she sits in her mothers apron.

Today I handed in an exam and decided to upload pictures of Sylvanian cuties: the babies!

The last class on a Friday...

It's the last class of the week. All of the children like school, but there is something about Fridays that make everyone a bit nervous and excited, barely able to concentrate on the different plant parts that Mr. Springer is trying to teach them.

Only Cornelia Porridge is still active, raising her hand, even though she is mostly thinking about how she and her mum are going to make scallop cookies when they get home. Winton Dale looks as if he life has run out of him, but his friend James Porridge tells the answer before his sister got the chance!

Joanne Springer pays attention to her father's class, but not even she is that interested, she really wants to go out and play now. Or perhaps play some game!

Finally the last class has ended and Mr. Springer lets the children go. Iona Dale waves him goodbye and Mr. Springer reminds her to do the homework before she goes out to play.

Bruce Springer remembers when he was a child and sat in the same classroom and anxiously awaited when the clock stroke 3 pm on Fridays, so he understands the children. He makes sure to go through the list to see so that he has marked everyone as there.

Then he puts up all the chairs on the desk so that the cleaning lady will be able to sweet the floors. He also cleans the blackboard and make sure that the classroom look nice before he leaves.

The last thing he does is to take some of the papers down from the notice board, to take with him to the recycling bin on his way home. But as soon as he get's home, he is going to get ready for the cricket game tomorrow, this week his team will win against Ewan Dale!

New school and new arrivals in Lingondale!

Today I recieved the Country Tree School in the mail! :D I am very happy, it's a really lovely building! At first I wasn't sure if I really liked the tree, it makes it look a bit less real, but over a few months time I have learnt to love it! I also love that you can stack my favourite nursery on top of it... I think I might need to get the nursery soon! ;)
I also got the Springer Family, which I bought in Toys'R'Us! I honestly just love little Joey, and the family constellation is interesting! I have decided that Bruce Springer will be the Nature Sciences in the Forest School.

This post was actually posted on the 10th same month, but I want to keep a better reccord of when I get things! :)
