The boys were excited to wake up today and put on their costumes for the character parade at school. I finished both of their costumes up last night and I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. Perrin’s was pretty simple, he wanted to be Duke from G.I. Joe. We’ve been on a G.I. Joe […]

We’ve been gearing up for Halloween. The boys carved their pumpkins on Monday and I’ve been working on Owen’s Halloween costume. He wants to be a cat this year, so we found a pattern that will work and I’m hoping I don’t mess it up! I usually use Simplicity patterns but I couldn’t find a […]

A few weeks ago, Ms Jenn posted this with a link to dailyrelish. I thought this would be a fun way to keep me taking pictures each week. For the idea of Crap Shoot Tuesday just click here. This is my contribution for this week: Don took this one night when I went to the […]

Short update today! The house is all painted and looks lovely! They finished painting the red door today and it is very fun! Irrigation systems have been going in for the front and back, so we’re getting ready for grass soon! It will be so nice to look outside and see green instead of brown […]

It was a slower week around here, with most of it going to prep for pouring the cement at the bottom of the drive way to make a parking spot for Don. So I’ve only got three pictures to share for this week. They poured the mole curb at the top. This will help keep […]

We’re hoping to add a furry baby to our family this year as a Christmas surprise for the boys. (psst! family, don’t spill the beans to the boys! 😉 ) With that in mind, I’ve been going thru all the stamping/paper crafting stuff that I’m not using anymore so that I can sell it to […]
