Two Weeks Early

So I know I have been a total blog slacker lately. I guess there isn't very much excitement in our lives right now. So after I put the Halloween decorations away (the day after Halloween) our house was looking very plain with just the fall stuff left. It always bugs me how the stores bring out the Christmas stuff so early. It was in Sept. this year by the way. But since we haven't had much room the last couple of years for a nice tree I just couldn't wait any longer. Last year we only put up half of our tree and pushed it against the wall for space to still walk in our livingroom and the year before Dylan was getting into everything so we had a mini one on top of our entertainment center. So last year I finally got a new tree after 9 years! I waited until they were on clearance. So once I got the tree out I had to get the stockings and then the snowmen and so on. It is still a work in progress. But here is a preview! I am so excited for the holidays and the fun celebrations!

Happy Halloween

This year both of the kids were pirates. This is them doing their pirate faces. Dylan kept on saying , aye, aye captain all day. Below is Chris and I dressed up for a Halloween party with our friends the weekend before. I got my hair ratted at the beauty college. It was fun to go all out!

Here are some of Chris' siblings. David was scary as the Joker. Chris decorated our porch. It's kind of fall/halloween combined. He liked his lit up skulls and you can't really see the skeleton hanging but we would talk when people walked by. My parents came up from Utah but I guess we didn't get any pictures with them. We went to a couple trunk or treats and then over to Chris' family's house and ended the night by watching Hocus Pocus. Overall it was a pretty fun Halloween.

Halloween Bunco

Every October we dress up for Bunco. I did an easy costume this year. I can't believe I have been playing Bunco for three years now. The group has changed quite a bit. I think only 5 of us have been playing that long. We have such a fun group of girls! It is always nice to have a girls night once a month.

Getting Crafty!

This weekend some of my friends and I decided to put on a craft fair. We had about 26 different vendors and a pretty good turnout. My sister Jayme came up from Utah to sell stuff too. I thought our booth turned out pretty cute! (thanks to Jayme)

It was fun to hang out with her and for Hayley and Dylan too. I didn't get much sleep the couple of nights before trying to finish all of my projects. But I sold a ton of hair clips and some bow holders.

Some people down the street were remolding and had a bunch of old doors in their yard. So I asked if I could have this one since it was broken. I painted it and put some ribbon on it and it worked perfect for my hair clips and Jayme's pacifier clips. I can't wait to be in another one.

Dino Dreams

I found Dylan asleep the other night like this and had to take a picture. He must have been really tired. Notice the dinosaur book and jammies. He thinks he is going to be a T-Rex when he grows up? He's a funny boy!
