Christmas Craft Project

Made this little countdown calendar last night. I was in a rush to finish it in time to start using it tomorrow. It took me about 2 hours. I'm happy with how it turned out.

New Furniture

It all started when our basement love seat bit the dust. As in completely bit the dust after 15 years of "service." Bill hauled it out which meant there was no place for teenage guests to sleep, kids to sit and watch t.v., play games, etc.

Yesterday after some marathon furniture shopping we found a couch & love seat we liked. Bill & G moved the upstairs furniture downstairs this afternoon just in time for the new to be delivered. We just need to find some better accent pillows, these aren't really "us."

G turned 17!

We had a pizza party to celebrate G's birthday. HerCan't believe how fast time has gone. I remember cramming 10+ boys in our basement for sleepovers.

Halloween

Halloween was busy! We stopped by Yay's, went trick or treating with Jason & Arlene's kids, then went to Sean & Maria's to visit. Needless to say, they're still working on eating their candy.

Halloween Cake Pops

Here they are. I had a lot of trouble with cracking this time. Which made me mentally crack. Anyway.....they are supposed to be one-eyed purple people eaters & pumpkins. I didn't have any spiral sprinkles to make horns for the purples, but Ree thinks they look like aliens, so we're going with that.

I had black confetti sprinkles and I hand-piped white chocolate in the centers to make pupils.

Nothing Is My Own

I impulsively ordered these owl pajamas on Target.com last week. I totally love all of the retro owl stuff on the market right now. The second I opened the package Ree snatched the jammies out of my hands and tried them on. Hammie had to get in on the action, too.

Halloween Treats

Just made 17 of these. Thanks for the idea, G(Lori)a.
