Fun Halloween Cookies and Diapers

Zoe had fun decorating some Halloween cookies and I decieded that is how we are doing cookies from now on. Buying the store bought sugar cookies and then decorating them with fun gel icing. Less stress and no tears from burnt or broken cookies.

I have been working on some fun Halloween diapers and I think they turned out really cute.

I made two jack-o-lantern ones and then one candy corn diaper. I am going to try to finish one more so they will have five Halloween diapers. (one for last year)

Please ignore the mess. That is just a few mins after I cleaned it. The boys love to dump out their toys :)

Birthdays

So Zach just turned three and he had a fun Birthday but can you believe I forgot my camera! We took him for lunch at McDonald's and he played in the playplace, then we took him to Jumpin Jack for 3 hours and he was all over that place! He loved it! After that I lost my mind and tried to take him for Birthday pics and they didn't really turn out. We got one cute one of him with his Lala sucking his fingers. I will post it later.

In less than a month Lucas turns 1! I took his pics with a cupcake for the invitation and boy are they cute! I am biased though.

Lucas Dancing

Life this last month....Crazy buzy!!!

Bows and Flowers for Zoe's hair. This year I decided to get a jump on holiday bows.

A very tired Lucas has started to fall asleep in his high chair at dinner because he refuses to sleep until he has to hold still to eat then crashes hard.

Then Zoe started at her actual school building the second week in September. She is really starting to make new friends and love her school. I knew she would once she got over the two things she didn't like 1. leaving her friends from her old school 2. Wearing uniforms (no High School Musical shirts or Jonas shoes :( )

Well this month started with a fun mini vacation "camping" in Enterprise with family over Labor Day weekend. The reason I say "camping" is cause we stayed in a hotel and camped during the day. We cooked out, roasted marshmellows, the boys (Zachary, Lucas and Dallas) played in the dirt and Zoe have fun with her cousins.

Isn't he so cute while learning how to walk on lumpy grass!

Silly boys being silly.

I have been a slacker but here goes

I am going to add a couple of pics about what we have been doing lately.

Starting a new school!

Starting Dance classes
Going to the fair and doing the 4H talent show again.

Sewing, Sewing and Sewing.

And learning to walk and climb.

Cleaning thoughts

July 4th Pics for now details to follow

Slacker Me! "pic heavy"

Okay so it's been toooo long since I last posted sorry I have been busy and not going online as much. I have been sewing like crazy so I am going to post some pics of projects I made this month.

What a goof ball!

Yeah I can't wait!!!!

Only I am a bit upset just from the trailor alone they changed quite a bit from the book. I am sure I will still love the movie I just need to think of them as seperate things not the same story then I won't be all mad the whole time I am watching the movie.
Besides I am excited for more Jacob! I loved his character.

A country bath

While camping we gave the kids country baths in a old wash tub. We warmed up the water for Lucas first so his was the warmest. But I love his face when we first put him in it. His expression is like "what is this?".

He soon warmed up to it and was his usual smiley self.

We weren't really planing on giving Zach a bath since he can take a shower but he wanted one after Lucas got one so here he is enjoying it fully.

Zoe was so funny she totally wanted one but we warned her that we weren't warming up the water any more cause it was a pain and she wanted a bath any way.

As you can see she quickly changed her mind!

We are changing Friday

I decided to try to do a tutorial every or every other Friday depending on what I can come up with. Some will be simple with out pics some with. Stop by to see you can make!

The first 3 people to make each tutorial and attach a link to their blog will get a fun homemade prize from me(please state food or craft)!

Today's tutorial is an art notebook.

First your supplies:

1 notebook of your choice, I find that a folder that you add paper to works great as well.

enough fabric to cover notebook and make pockets

sewing machine or sewing glue

tacky glue

colored pencils or crayons or other art supplies you want to add.

1. lay your notebook on fabric and mark leave 1 inch around top and sides for edges and leave at least 4 inches at the bottom for pockets the best way to tell is to bring fabric up from bottom and see how much you want also don' t forget the seam allowance at the bottom as well. Also slit top and bottom at center to allow for paper depending on size of notebook.

2. hem all edges with the machine or with sewing glue

3. attach art supply pockets if you want a pocket for pencils or crayons make sure you use a gather stitch at the bottom before sewing the individual pockets or it won't have room to fit the pencils in. If you are using glue just make one big pocket for supplies because glue with smear and close up individual pockets for pencils.

4. using tacky glue attach fabric to notebook.

5. let dry

6. you can decorate with ribbon, buttons or something fun and creative!

Make sure to leave a comment with a link if you make this to get your prize!
