Projects

I have been working on a few projects for the house. The first one was inspired by my Mom. She has a bunch of old windows that she uses to decorate. She gave me one and after we talked this is what I came up with.

I was very proud of myself i think it looks like something you would spend a fortune on in a boutique . Not to mention that all the flowers are from mike, so it is special too.

Also this is the wall in my dinning room wall. I had a little trouble getting the letters to stick, but they are up now. We did something similar in my cousins house, so i got to see what it might look like before i tried it.


This one looks way better in person. It was hard to get the lighting right to take the picture but it gives you the general idea.

Happy Halloween

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! We also wanted to share some of the fun things we have done this month.

We made sugar cookies with our friends, we had so much fun but boy was it messy.


We went up the canyon and collected leaves for our new place mats this year.

We went to a Halloween carnival at the preschool. they gave us cotton candy, their were lots of games and even a spook ally. Shara didn't want to sit and sing with her class at first, she sat down reluctantly but once the music started she got right into it. She was so cute! She was very excited that she got her first kazoo at the fish pond.

Today we made ghost cookies with our cousin. these cookies were not to messy to make but I have a feeling they will be very messy to eat.


I also punched tin cans full of ice with a nail to make cute candle holders for our front porch.

I think the favorite activity was making the bats and ghosts for the front of our house. all growing up we made ghosts for our windows and i have continued to do so through the years. We also have made bats that hang from the porch and blow around in the wind. We have so much fun making them and it sets us apart from the neighbors.

My friend Sara did this on her blog and I thought it was cute! This is what Shara had to say about me...

Field Trip

We got to go on a field trip with Shara's class. We had a blast. We went on a hay ride and got to walk through the pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkins. There was a corn maze, that took us a min to get through. Also they had a bunch of animals to see. I think the best part was the pumpkins, they each are so proud of their find.
