Halloween 2010

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween. It is the kickoff to the holiday season and I love creating cute costumes for my kids. Granted they will seem like they are high on crack until after the new year, but it is a fun time of year. I love carving pumpkins then roasting the seeds. I love putting the kids costumes together and Wyatt's costume. I love taking them around the neighborhood to trick or treat. AND I love all of the fall and Halloween decorations. I just love it. Sydney is a vampire bride, I made her costume out of an old bedskirt, then Payson wanted to be a witch. I borrowed a black dress from a friend when Payson tried it on she said this is really plain so I made the tu tu and the purple bustier, and I gathered her sleeves. Thank goodness Jon wanted to be a football player so I didn't have to make his costume.

Wyatt's Halloween Party!

So we had a hard time coming up with a costume for Wyatt this year. His work always has a costume party; he has been Warren Jeps in prison clothes, A hula girl w/ a coconut bra, Nacho Libre and last year the Burger king KING. This costume though takes the cake. I had suggested be a fisherman from the TV show deadliest catch. Well if any of you know my Wyatt he takes it one step further. A fisherman from deadliest catch; however he has caught the deadliest itch...crabs. Oh he is one funny guy but I love him with all my heart and he cracks me up. The winner of the best costume from his office wins a flat screen tv.

Baby projects

So I have been trying to get a few things ready for the new baby. I made these wash rags and I think they turned out really good. I sewed flannel fabric onto one side of a plane white wash rag. Then put ribbon over the raw edge. I love how soft the flannel is. I used one to wash my face and I LOVE it. They were so easy, I need to make more to keep on hand for baby gifts.

YA YA SISTERHOOD GIRLS NIGHT OUT

I took the girls and a few friends to Thanksgiving Point for their annual Ya Ya Sisterhood night. We enjoyed cups of soup, shrimp nachos, chocolate fondue and little pumpkin cupcakes. (All free) We danced and cheered, wrote down our woes then burn them, chanted the YA YA chant. It was a great night, I look forward to it again next year, although the girls really want to go all out wearing dresses and feather boas and BIG hats.

more pictures

While at the museum I was able to show the kids the kind of air plane that my Grandpa Smith flew during WWII. It was a B29; he was the tail gunner. I am always in awe at how these old planes were able to fly across the ocean to defend our rights.

UEA WEEKEND Hill AF Base Museum

We had a great time up at the museum on the Base. The kids loved it. We had a older man who was a tour guide walk us around. He tried to take our family picture but he was shaking sooo bad the picture didn't turn out. He offered to take other pictures but we kindly declined.
