Happy Halloween!!

We didn't have snow this year, but we still froze! Our princess, dinosaur, and pirate had fun trunk or treating at the school - but were so tired and cold at the end that there were no complaints about going home!

Happy Halloween!

My kind of wall art!

All it takes is an old barn window, a little elbow grease, paint, hooks, and my latest scrapbook pages to make this lady SO HAPPY!

When we finally got it done and up I couldn't stop looking at it - I smile every time I walk into my craft room, and that is really good for my creativity :)

Sorry Ry, but I couldn't help but share this photo. This is Brodyn's excited attempt at wearing mascara. So cute. But not as cute as the ten minute conversation between Ryan and Brodyn about how "Boys do NOT wear makeup".I couldn't stop laughing when B responded with "Uh Huh!"

Pumpkin Patch

I can't believe how crazy fast time is flying right now. We're past our first big round of sickness, hopefully we'll be good for awhile. A few weeks ago we visited the pumpkin farm and went for a hayride out to pick our pumpkins. We had fun and got some good pumpkins, but fun was soon replaced by drama when we got home and Brodyn wanted Ainsli's pumpkin because he could carry it around.
I couldn't resist taking a photo of his pout. He's becoming very determined and demanding of what he wants. It doesn't help situations when I giggle because he is so flippin' cute!!!!

the Riddles

Cindy is my scrapbook buddy. Her family is absolutely adorable - we had fun doing this photo shoot at the Old Iron Works place. Thanks guys!

School pics

I thought I would share some of the pictures that I took for the beginning of school. We got some fun ones and I found some neat old buildings that made our picture shoot fun! Its really getting to me how much our kids are growing up . . . I'm just not ready, but I wouldn't miss a moment. I've been very blessed.

Stitching -

I've been getting a lot of stitching projects done in preparation for the craft fair, plus a few projects I want to try. Ainsli decided she wanted to stitch again, so I got her project out . . . I can't believe how good she is at only 5 years old - I love sharing my hobbies with my girls. Tonight Brodyn will probably help me paint - he loves that, too bad he's so messy :)

Aubrei is 11!

Even though she is growing up way too fast, I'm glad we have an 11 year old who is content with staying little and being a sweet, innocent girl. She had a fun birthday and a wild sleepover (I guess I remember being a giggly girl too).

We registered at the Jr. High yesterday and we had a mini-tour. Can I mention that I hate lockers? My hand still hurts from trying to get that stupid locker open :) I was starting to get worried, but Brei was finally able to get it open on her own.

The school is so nice, and taking the tour seemed to help her relax a little.

So now I guess we are ready for the 31st to come.
