Our New Kitchen Table

I got my Christmas present early this year :-)

The hubs and I made a table.

Last Night

Last night I went out to a baby shower and as soon as I left my little guy Todd (6) walked up to Chad and said "Daaad. Mom is gone, know what that means? P-P-P-Party every day! P-P-P-Party every day! Woohoo! Tonight's gonna be a good night! Tonight's gonna be a good, good night!"

It's nice to know that I am so missed and loved when I'm gone.

The Reason for the Season - Part 2

Due to the success of my first run of "Reason for the Season"

Christmas ornaments, I've decided to expand.

These names I just cut out with my vinyl cutter and placed them on glass baubles.

Halloween 2012

Halloween 2012 was a smashing success.

Lots of fun.

Lots of candy.

Lots of darling (and scary) children.

Lots of family.

James (12) was a scarecrow and he is wearing a costume my husband made the first year we were married.

Here Chad and I are back in 1999 as Mr. and Mrs. Scarecrow

I was about 6 1/2 months pregnant with James in this picture, and now he is wearing this costume.

I feel old.

Aren't I still in my 20's? NO I'm NOT!

How did this happen!?!?!

Clint (10) was a hippie

Ben (9) was a skeleton (he has been a skeleton every year since he was 3).

And Todd (6) is a cowboy.

We are almost recovered.

Soon the candy will be gone and then I will have to muster the courage to search under all our furniture and in all the crevices to clean out candy wrappers.

Thanks!

DIY: Kids Costume - Cowboy Chaps and Vest

He is the CUTEST little cowboy I have ever seen.

You can do this too if you have medium sewing skills.

I know it looks complicated, but it isn't.

Mainly because you don't have to hem anything...

Hemming is the bane of my sewing existence.

This project took me less then a hour and a half.
