Happy Halloween!


I have been wanting to post for a while, I just haven't sat down long enough to do it. We carved pumpkins tonight. Preston wasn't all that into it and Hannah went to bed. So, Brad and I went to it. Here's what they look like!! Pretty cool huh? We're pretty proud of our work.

So, I LOVE these pictures of Preston. That boy just makes me smile! Both of my kids do. He has been so funny lately. He has so much personality. He is soooo just like his Dad! I have a lot more pictures I want to post on here, more of Hannah too. Just can't find my other memory card right now. So...more to come.
At the craft show I did there was a girl that was selling these little ties that she made. Aren't they cute? I wanted to buy them all!! If anyone wants one, I have her contact info. They were super duper cute and he looks so handsome in it.





My Mom has been here all week. The kids love when she comes. Hannah keeps bringing her books to read. She just wants to read book after book with Grandma. It's pretty cute. Preston loves getting spoiled...who wouldn't? She buys him the stuff Mommy won't get for him. He has to be a good boy to get the prizes though. He loves Grandma's cane. He could play with it all day.
Hannah is walking all over the place lately. We have had the hardest time finding shoes that will stay on her fat little feet. We finally found a pair that we thought were working. Well, they came off too. So, we ventured out to the outlet mall to try Stride Rite shoes. THEY WORKED! YAY! They are really cute too. Preston got new shoes with lights on them. He jumps all over the place so that the lights come on. He even slept in them for his nap today...he insisted! What a silly boy.

Success!!




The craft show went really well!! I really made so many bows and I think it helped to have a big variety to pick from. There is another one next weekend and the booth rent is only $10. Really? Can I lose? It's a halloween carnival at a rest home. I don't know...I would probably sell some more. But a rest home? I don't know. I'll ask more questions, I guess. They said people of all ages come it it. For ten bucks, I really can't lose, I guess.
Anyway, I sold a lot and I'm happy. I do have a lot more if anyone needs any hairbows. I'll be posting more on my blog as soon as I get pics. Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm glad I did it. It was a good experience. Weird to be without the kids all day. I've never done that and I missed my little munchkins! They were there with me for a few minutes, hence Hannah in the picture. We didn't get a really good picture of the whole booth for some reason. Oh well...next time!

Craft Show

Well, the craft show is on Saturday. It's 1 a.m. Friday morning (Thursday night)right now and I'm up pricing my products. I'm very excited and nervous all at the same time. I think my stuff is cute...I hope everyone else does too. I was going to post pictures of my booth set up in my dining room but I'll wait until it's completely finished for the full effect. It turned out better than even I thought it would look!! I should probably get to bed. I just have a lot on my mind. I keep thinking of things to do. It's nice to get them done without children at my feet. Wish me luck!!!

Yet another craft

I did this last night while we watched TV. The only thing I bought was the leaves, I had the scrap material. I think it turned out pretty cute! I love fall decorations...I just don't have enough of them. This project only cost me a dollar!


Preston painted a pumpkin today. He loved doing it. Ever since he learned how to say pumpkin a few weeks ago he has been obsessed. He kept wanted this pumpkin down off the piano but it is glass so we went and got some plastic pumpkins and these to have some fun with. He was so excited!



Last but not least...this is my dream craft. I really want to make this for Hannah for Christmas. I've been talking to my Dad about it and we think we can do it. We'll see what happens.
