What do you do for fun?

We like to dance on tables around here.

Winner!

Our little M won the reflections contest....twice! She won for photography and a water color painting she did. We just got invited to another awards ceremony in January. I don't know what she will be getting that night. It is fun to see your child work hard on a project and get an award for it. I didn't get pictures of her projects, and they have gone on to the council level. When we get them back I will have to post a few pictures of them.

Baby boy gift...

I love making little boy gifts. It must be because I don't have any girls. It is just fun to make something that is blue instead of pink. I made this for my neighbor who recently had a little boy.

Halloween pictures....finally!

I am a little behind on the blog here, so I thought I would catch up before Christmas slips by as well. This year for halloween....

H was a bumble bee:

K was a princess:

A was a witch:

And M was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz:

I was an indian, but we never got a picture of that. Dad took the girls trick-or-treating this year while I stayed home and passed out candy. We don't get too many kids at our house. Probably because the houses are too spread out. It was a fun evening, and the girls got lots of candy....which is all gone now! It was yummy while it lasted. Someone gave them handfuls of Reeses peanut butter cups. YUM! What am I going to do when they actually start noticing I steal all the yummy treats from their buckets????

Carving Pumpkins...

This year I was completely pooped by the time we got to halloween. So lucky Dad did all the pumpkin carving with all the girls while I stayed inside and took a nap. I love that man! We had a few pumpkins that didn't ripen in time, so this year we have a green jack-o-lantern.

Pumpkin Soup Bowls...

A local store sells pumpkin soup bowls. I thought they were so cute, but wasn't about to buy them when I could make my own. They turned out really cute. The kids loved them. I don't think they actually put soup in them though.

A lucky find....

I went to the thrift store to find some shoes to make into Dorothy's ruby slippers. I found this cute bird house thingy. It's top was broken off and it was a little banged up, but nothing a little spray paint couldn't fix. It is a nice new addition to my kitchen. Now I just need to get up there and dust.
