Halloween 2013

We went all out for Halloween this year.  By "all out" I mean Husband and I dressed up...and I didn't even have a classroom Halloween party to dress up for.

Baby H. and I went to Husbands work for their party.  Baby H. doesn't get Halloween yet.  He was just happy to be walking around and seeing other people.

After the party, we headed to my mom's to show off our costumes and eat some soup.  By the time we finally thought about getting a picture, Baby H. was not in the mood.

I have about 45 like this one but this is the only one that was mostly in focus.

Picking up Baby H. resulted in only slightly better photos.

Anyway, Happy Halloween from Mary Poppins, one of the penguins from Jolly Holiday and Bert.

Fall Family Photos

My sister-in-law, Rachel, and her husband, Michael, took our family photos a few weeks ago.  I may be weird but I really like getting family photos.  I like picking outfits, trying to make myself as pretty as possible without looking like I tried too hard.  But mostly I like having the photos and capturing that one moment in time.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Halloween Crafts

I freaking love Halloween!  Favorite time of the year, hands down.  I made some new Halloween decorations with my Silhouette and I love how they turned out.

First, a Happy Halloween banner.  I used this shape to create the banner. I deleted the spider webs and spiders then used the cracked font to make the words.

And a close up.  I love glitter paper!

Next, the spiders and web banner.  Same shape used exactly how it was made.

I also layered some of the spiders and webs. 


And the final Halloween decor...Bats.  So freaking cute...or scary?

I feel like I need a lot more for the space but they're looking awesome.  I used this shape from the Silhouette store and I only used the bottom bat in the pair.

Fall Leaves

Baby H. and I went to my mom's and played in the leaves today.  Baby H. doesn't really know what you're supposed to do with leaves.  He spent most of his time just walking around the yard and completely ignoring me and the fun I was having with the leaves.  Geesh! Maybe next fall we'll have a little more fun.

This is the only picture that looks like he knows he's supposed to play and have fun in leaves.  He didn't really.  This picture is a fluke.

Putting him in the leaves caused a bit of a melt down.

Pumpkin Patchin'

We went to a pumpkin patch today.  Baby H. was more excited about the helicopters that kept flying over the field.

When did my baby grow up?

Once we got in the car though, he was very excited to hold the pumpkin in his lap.

And, pretty unrelated, these pajamas were mine almost 30 years ago.
