Blog Update

I've been behind on blogging but I finally updated! I was so behind that I just barely added Halloween- almost 3 weeks late! I just get so busy with projects (sewing mainly, and just recently, hairbows!!) that I don't save time for anything else. Anything else that is except take care of my kiddos. And try to take care of the house. Sorry honey!! Good thing I have a wonderful husband who helps me out. It's just too bad that such a neat freak married a messy girl like me! ;) I really am trying to improve. Anyway, I'm off to bed so enjoy the new pics!

Hairbow Workshop

My awesome friend Elaine makes super cute bows for her little girl, so last weekend she had a hairbow workshop and showed us how to make them!! It was so much fun! Too bad Ryan had a baseball game so I had to leave early. But I was able to learn how to make some before I left, and learn how to make cute headbands from my friend Alyssa. Good thing I have talented friends or I'd be clueless. It's not "what" you know, but "who" you know! Haha.

I found a link to some cute hairstyles off Elaine's page so I thought I'd share it. The site has links to other blogs and there's tons online if you do a search. Check it out!

Here's Kayla and Lauren modeling my creations. Sorry there's so many pics, but Lauren was just so dang cute!! And Kayla too of course. ;)

Kayla got this dress from Grandma last Christmas and she loves it so good thing it still fits! Don't you love how she holds her dress out like a princess? Such a little poser.

Here's a view of the bows from the top.

And here's Kayla and Lauren with their matching sister bows. Don't you love how enormous Lauren's is? I may've gotten a little carried away but that's the point, right?!

This is the very first bow I made. Well, kind of made. Elaine made most of it as she showed me how to do it! Lauren obviously loves her new accessory.

And here's some pics of the girls in their matching shirts. These are from a few weeks ago when we had a cold spell. But it was back to shorts today! Ah, I love warm weather!

This post was all about the girls, so you'll have to scroll down to see what Evan's been up to!

Roly Poly

No, I'm not talking about excess weight! Kayla and Evan are fascinated with bugs and spiders, so every time they find a "roly poly" in the yard they have to show it to me. I know, thrilling. And I used to be such a tomboy!!

Here comes the handoff. Careful, wait for it....

I got it!! I love my roly poly. And I will hug you and squeeze you...

Oh no! Maybe I squeezed too hard??!

Where'd it go??

What about this mom? This is pretty cool. But it's not my roly poly...

Oh well, those ugly things are resilient buggers! I'm sure he'll turn up sometime....

I'm off to my next adventure! Faster than fast, quicker than quick!!!

Halloween Cuties

I know I'm ridiculously late at posting these Halloween pics, but I was being lazy and never downloaded my file to Ryan's laptop. Anyway, I'm FINALLY getting some posting done. We went trick-or-treating at the mall this year. We figured it'd be the easiest and the safest way to go since the kids are pretty little still. Kayla was Tinker Bell, Evan was Peter Pan, and little Lauren was Rosetta the flower fairy. Aren't they adorable?!



Lauren's spacing out in this pic, but she's still a cutie! My friend Alyssa made this adorable headband for her.

Ah, gotta love the ballerina sumo wrestler!!! And those are real cops BTW. Just in case the ballerina decided to sit on the poor doctor standing next to him.

And what Halloween would be complete without the Beehive lady? We found her working at See's Candies (of course!)
