Halloween Round-Up

I love exploring imagination and creativity with Kyleigh, the opportunity to choose anything she wants to be in celebration of Halloween.  Three costume ideas made the list this year and anyone that has spent time with my daughter recently would not be surprised by her top picks 1) Katy Perry 2) Elsa 3) Tinker Bell.  In the end Tinker Bell won out when I told her the boys could be her pirates....a win for all of us!  

The good news is that we found a TinkerBell outfit that we liked, but I was disappointed in the pirate options for the boys.  With that said, a combination of Hobby Lobby, Etsy and my Silhouette pulled the boys outfits together.

The pirate outfits were complete the week of Halloween, next up school favors for the parties on the 30th and 31st .  No sugar or preservatives are allowed …because of this rule, I always try to find something practical ~ that I would use, this year we opted cute finger paint bubbles which I though was perfect!  Additionally, the boys were able to join in on the fun this year as they now attend the Nursery Preschool.  It sounds like the favors were a hit, at least they are with my kids:-)

I took the day off to get the Kids ready for their school parties and parade.  So special to see Kyleigh and the boys with all of their classmates despite the cold.  Scott even got to partake as Christian hid behind us when the parade was over and we had to help get him back to class.

Next up painting the pumpkins before bed.  Kyleigh did great, but we had to take the paint away from the boys as they kept trying to eat it.

At last, halloween is here, the day for trick-or-treating.  Our Tinkerbell puts the finishing touches on her outfit and the cute flower clip we made together, also adding in a couple spins prior to heading out for treats.

Next, time to head out on the coldest halloween in 15 years.  Only to make it to about 5 houses until we decide to take it in and had out the candy instead (prior the boys take a few punches at the inflatable ghost that Uncle Tim got them)….

Last up a first try at candy prior to bed….until next year!

Purdue vs. Notre Dame

One of these days I would love to learn how to embroider, but in the meantime I've been having so much fun creating designs on my silhouette and cutting them out on colored heat transfer paper.  

I'm so excited for several mommy-to-be's in my life and I could not resist but to make a baby bump gift for them each and every one  of them!  When I was pregnant I could never find a sporting shirt that I liked.  Given all of the girls and daddy's to be have such team pride….what could be more perfect?

Ironically enough as I made the shirts last week, I completely forgot that Purdue and Notre Dame were playing this weekend!
