The Weird Side of Lynchburg

You've probably heard of Lynchburg, TN.

Beanie baby errands...the world's a crazy place.

See...

We have a child with very stinky feet. 

"It's sad when Mom blogs about my feet."

Yeah, yeah...

This next batch of pictures is truly disturbing:

I walked down into a basement and found these.

I'm pretty sure they come alive at night. 

Especially this one.

The most disturbing thing though has got to be this:

Don't be fooled by the thumbs up. 

He is clearly up to something. 

Something weird.

Possibly something weird having to do with Christmas.
