Halloween!

Hi!

Goodness, where did October go?  Last night was Halloween!

We only did a few decorations around the house (not like last year when we had a Halloween Party).

Notice my pumpkin above matches the pillow on the little bench below. 

We put the bats up on the other side of the kitchen.

The kids carved pumpkins Sunday afternoon. 

N's is on the left, C's on the right. 

C also decided to paint a pumpkin. 

This year, C was a cat.  We bought the ears and tail (and also the black pants and shirt which hopefully she'll wear again).  She had the fur shawl from a dress from her grandparents. 

(N decided not to go trick or treating again this year.)

Two friends came over and went trick or treating with her. 

Here they are racing back to the van after getting some treats.. 

We went from 5:20 to about 7:40.  I'd drop the girls off and they'd walk  run from house to house, if they were close, and then we'd drive off to the next place.

Here's all the stuff C got!!

We had our porch lights turned off since K was doing plumbing work in the back of N's closet and N didn't want to answer the door.  However, we still got one trick-or-treater (a friend of C's).

Have a great week! :-)

More back room. 

The Party was from 6:00-9:00 and there were 9 girls.  I think everybody had fun!  C is the witch with green armbands sitting on the bench with her fingers up to her eyes. 

Here's a better picture of C!

Saturday we finally got around to carving pumpkins. 

Both kids found designs online and did their own carving.

N decided not to go trick-or-treating this year.  He stayed home to hand out candy, but we didn't get any trick-or-treaters!

C went trick-or-treating with her friend and another friend. Here is the loot! 

Hope you have a great week! :-)

Weekly Update

Hi!

What's up?  Here's what's up with us.
Our weekend snow has melted! Yay!

We added a "fitness area" to the back room.

(and a "sewing area"- but the sewing machine is broken...)

I moved the plants over to the other side. 

Here's C doing some exercise. 

We did a Halloween Craft- Bats! 

I discovered the idea here at MADE.

Except for the crazy bat above, they're flying from our vent,

thru the house,

and out behind the picture!

C is having a Halloween Party next Friday, so we're getting all decorated up for that!

There are only 3 days of school this week, with Thursday and Friday off for Teacher's Professional Development days.

I am working on the benches for the front room (Kreg Jig Project #3), but I have some adjustments to make before they're all finished.

Hope you're having a great week! :-)
