Random pictures (From my phone)

Landon trying out his costume for the first time :)  
Luke and R2D2

I was having a Super Saturday meeting in the other room and they were in the living supposed to be watching a movie...Well I was totally dumb and left my nail polish out the night before grrrr LUCKILY none of it got on the couch or in their eyes. I had to wait for it to dry and then scrub it with a wash rag. It came off a whole lot easier than I was thinking it would with only minimal complaints from the boys! 

This is one of the Super Saturday projects I am in charge of! STAND TALL growth chart! you hang it on your wall at the appropriate height and measure all your kids every so often! I love how it turned out! It was so easy! I took a 1x6 board cut it 5ft long I have a Silhouette SD machine that cuts vinyl for me so I cut out the numbers and the Stand Tall out of the vinyl then I painted the board white 2 or 3 coats then I took a rag and dipped it in "Driftwood" colored stain  and wiped it all over the board then I took my sand paper that was pretty rough and distressed so the white would still show through :) I love the results! I still need to do a layer of modge podge to seal it all together so the vinyl doesn't start peeling but I'll probably just do that AT super saturday which is NOV 23rd

This is anothe project we're doing! Family Birthdays Calendar! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I was not in charge of this one. 
Not the best picture but I love this idea with the old barnwood and hose clamps and mason jars ( real authentic ashton barn wood ripped from the building itself! haha) you hang it on your wall and it can hold whatever you want. :)

The other projects i'm in charge of are the Glass etching for casserole dishes and we're making microwave rice bags with fleece :) I'm excited it will be a fun Super Saturday! 


 Some cute pictures of Drake from my phone. 











Halloween!

I know I'm behind, but hey better late then never! Here's our Halloween costumes! 

Incase you can't tell Lee is Anakin, I'm Princess Leia. Landon is Luke Skywalker, Zeke is Yoda and Drake is the cutest R2D2 you've ever seen! 
The Saturday before Halloween Lee's cousins put on a big halloween dance party! It was so much fun. we always have fun getting together with his cousins and their families. 
Yoda kept running away from the family group picture haha
Happy Anakin 




A group shot of us and some of the cousins!



Happy Halloween! On actual Halloween Lee and I just were not feeling good. It started earlier in the week and lasted through the weekend. I got the crappy cold first then Lee caught it bad after Halloween and now the kids have all had something for the last week! Time to stock up on vitamins and lots of water!!! So once Halloween finally came around we didn't even take the kids trick or treating and they were fine with it. I asked Landon if he wanted to dress up and he was like, "AGAIN?!" lol he didn't care since we had so much fun at the party the weekend before. So we stayed home watched movies and ate from the bag of candy we had bought for trick or treaters which we only had 3 of landons little friends( who were car pooling together) and no one else since it was snowing and gross outside. But that's just fine with me! We had our day to dress up and have fun that's what matters :) P.S. I made Lee and Landon's costumes :) yay me! Landon's didn't come with a pattern but since I made Lee's first I was able to just wing it with Landons. :)
