Halloween Preparation

 

Today the kiddos and I carved our Pumpkins. Didn’t do anything special……just your basic Jack of Lanterns.

 

 

 

By the way the second one is supposed to be a ballerina

 

And here’s a tip for keeping those pumpkins lit at night. Place your candle in a Mason Jar. It keeps the breezes away and keeps it from falling over. Gotta Love those Jars

 

Finished up my son’s costume. After much deliberation he finally made up his mind to be a spider.  Spider?? Hmmmm had to use a little creativity to whip this costume up.  I used a black turtleneck and cut the side seams. For the legs I used black tube socks stuffed with plastic bags and I found some cool metallic spider web fabric for the web. The hat is just a dollar beanie with googly eyes hot glued to it. He loves it and yes that is him crawling on the floor

In case you didn’t know the Brewers are in the NLCS along with the Tigers in the ALCS

Go Brew Crew….really hoping for a Tigers/Brewers world series in our house!

Pictures of the beautiful October Weather we have been having…..a record 10 days in a row over 70 degress! We went to a local pumpkin patch and had fun picking out our pumpkins.

My kiddos have came down with a viral illness….been running fevers with a horrible cough. So I am home today from work and have been working on a big for me sewing project. My first quilted wall hanging. It’s a really neat advent calendar with little pockets to keep our Christmas surprises. Here's a preview from sew Mama Sew

It’s been a challenge but I can't wait to get it done….my Mom is going to help me with the binding. I finished all the pockets today just have to do the sashing.

On that note gotta get the school for pickup time
