Halloween Costumes 2013



We are looking forward to visiting friends at the Halloween party soon. Sarah is going as a Ranger (from Ranger's Apprentice) and Dan is going as "The Guy in the Space Cape". He's wanted to make a cape/cloak from this cool solar system fabric for A LONG TIME. Way back when, I bought him one yard, thinking we'd make a cape (not)!

When all four of us go together, Joann becomes a dangerous place because we tend to buy all sorts of fun things. We had a great coupon and the space fabric was on sale, too, making it a killer buy. I bought what was remaining on the bolt and I'm SO GLAD! Dan is getting TALL!

Sarah chose the cloak pattern. We all worked together, our first time pinning and cutting out a pattern together. Well, not me, of course, I cut my share of patterns with Mom growing up. We extended both leaves of the table and got to work.

Once Dan's was cut out, I knew what I was doing and we doubled Sarah's fabric, so it took half the time. Yay!

Daniel did a little on the machine and some cutting and pinning, too. I sewed two pieces together wrong and had to rip out the seam. Sarah's went together much easier and faster since it was my second time. I would have had her do it, but the fabric is so stretchy and hard to work with and we're starting to be short on time, I just decided I'd do it for her.

Family Evening Audiobook



We've been listening to an audiobook together every night after dinner. What fun! We've been coloring and crocheting and even playing Solitaire while listening. Tonight Sarah made the CUTEST spider EVER! Well, I suppose to be a real spider, it needs eight legs, but it's so cute nonetheless! We're listening to "Ranger's Apprentice 1-Ruins of Gorlan".

Happy Birthday Oreo!




I simply cannot keep up with all that Sarah produces...I need a blog just for her projects!

Today, she used a tutorial from MyFroggyStuff.blogspot.com to make a tent for her plushies. It is AWESOME! The tent poles are attached with small rope, she is getting so good using her glue gun she got for her birthday! I often have to interrupt her creative process to do Table Time and often have to remind her to eat lunch-she's that focused!

She made presents and decorations for Oreo's first birthday, we had a little party. She made him a pillow with catnip inside. This morning we found Shadow biting, kicking and scratching it!

Fun With Aluminum Foil











The day started simply enough...a little aluminum foil hat. As the day progressed, so did the costumes! Until at last, a graveyard of foil!
