Preschool Thanksgiving party

Austin's preschool class did a Thanksgiving dinner. His teachers were really on top of it by having the children make the decorations and costumes. The parents brought in most of the food and the kids were excited to eat food for their snack time. Austin opted to be the indian rather than the pilgrim. He liked the feathers. He is the oldest in his class so most of the children watch what he does nad for the most part the class room was filled with indians. When he decided to put the pilgrims costume on the other kids did so after. I hope everyone had fun.

Matt's creative outlet

So last year I saw Sara Phipps making these adorable yarn hats. She told me that Walmart and Joann sold these circular hoops with knobs on them. Matt found them and bought it for me. This year he has gotten into making them. He made one or two them for each one of our children. He like to do them. He has made 10 of them. Kuddos to my honey for being creative and making comething cute.

Doing my aprons

I have some what of an excuse in why I haven't been blogging. I have sewing a lot. I got a juob at Buckle. I am an alterations person who hems up the pants. I also have been sewing aprons, quilos, and diaper bags. I have been selling them at craft shows. So I have been quite busy with thread and fabric. Since finishing the Twilight series I needed another obsession and boy did I find that. My laudry room is filled with craft things now. I have found out that I haven't want to shop but more make. Sharon Elberry is awesome and very inspiring person to make things. She got me to want to make things for myself. Hopefully now I can save some money. Thank all of you who donated fabric to my obession. I have had fun. Here some of the ones I made.

Pumpkin carving

So my dad gave us this pumpkin and so that night we decided to carve it. As a child that was the fun to see what came out. Matt got really creative and printed out a face and traced that onto the pumpkin. Instead of using a knife the enitre time he used this drill. It ended up way cute but it took a while. When opening up the pumpkin to get the seeds all out my kids didn't not like the idea of putting their hands in there. Matt was getting frustrated because no one wanted to participate. So yes I went and did it. I got out most of the seeds. I wanted to take pictures non the less of them doing it. So I ended up taking Orrin's pacifier and putting it into the pumpkin to just get him near the pumpkin. Megan with her chefs hat finally did that as well. Austin was the last and he didn't like it at all.

Halloween

Okay so aI got a lot of crap for doing this more often and so here it goes. We stayed here for Halloween and went to the trunck or treat at the church building. They had some good chili and corn bread. Austin had fun going from one to another car with Porter. Austin was Spiderman. He wanted to put on his mask but Megan kept on screaming when the mask was put on. So Austin got frustrated for a while didn't want to be spiderman then I found out that trunk or treat couldn't have masks. Yes that worked out. Megan was Cinderella. That really suprised me beause she was Dora at her school party. She doesn't liek to dress up but that night she went into her dress up clothes and old me she wanted to be Cinderella. She liked the necklaces, her princess shoes, and best of all putting on make up. That just isn't Megan to want to do this stuff so I think her girly side is coming out. Orrin ended up being an ASU football player. He was so cute!!! After trunck or treat we went over to the Farabee and tried to have fun there. There were a lot of fun familes over there. However with my children these days they make a fun place so miserable. There were super heros everywhere with masks on and doggies so Megan would not get off of me. She is also scared of dogs. Orrin got really tired very early and wanted to also be held. So even though a lot of fun people were there I wanted to get out of there. Austin is fun now and likes dogs and hanging around people now. YEA!!! So thanks Farabees for the invitation the food was great!!!! The kids have fun dressing up and getting candy. Megan kept on getting more and more excited when she received more candy. Her eyes popped out some of the times. Orrin had no idea, next wil be a lot more fun.
