Crafty Halloween Decor with the KIDS!

So I actually got these idea's from my next door neighbor and thought they were so cute and something fun I could do with the kids. First off I did two ghosts on my garage lights. I put a sheet over the light and tied the neck with yarn and then drew on eye's, and a mouth. Then at night when the lights come on it glows. SO CUTE! (my sister-in-law has my camera so once I get it back I will post a pic of it so you can let me know what you think)

Next is a big Spider made out of a milk jug and some pipe covering stuff. I am not sure what it is I just know my husband has a ton of it on his van, LOL. So here is the pic of what it is supposed to look like and I will post a picture of what ours looks like once the kids and I are done with it tonight. What a fun activity to do with the kids. The website that has all these fun ideas is http://www.familyfun.com/

THRILLER by Odyssey Dance Theatre

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! I have been invited to this so many times every year and just never got up to go but we went last night and it blew me away. What amazing dancers and comedians. The whole show was entertaining. I wanted to snap pictures of every dance but I couldn't so this is the best picture I could pull off the internet. But the dance showed above was amazing also. Mrs. Frankestein did an amazing job in this number. I would totally recommend it to anyone. Now I am so bumbed that I didn't go to the "So You Think You Can Dance" tour :(

Thanks for inviting me Hannah! I love our girls nights out even though I call to check on my boys every 5 minutes! Oh there is also a not so great close up picture of me and my sister-in-law that I will add once I get my camera back!

WHILE HE WAS OUT!

So while Max was on the Elk hunt this last weekend I decided to do a while you were out home decor renovation! Well I do something with decorating the house every year while he is gone but nothing this big. I will just start off by saying I worked my butt off! I literally worked Friday thru Tuesday 8am-4:30am the next morning everynight.

If anyone knows me you know I love to paint everything. I dont know why I love it so much but I do. Maybe I got it from my dad since he owned a business painting cars...hmmm. Anyways, Max doens't like things to get painted and when he walked in I wish I had a camera. His mouth dropped. He told me he thought I went and bought all new furniture and he wasn't too happy. That only lasted for a second and then he just ranted and raved about it. He absolutely loves our new room. I also changed out all of our pictures in our room because we only had pictures of the kids all over the place. I realized I didn't have one picture of us out anymore. So I decided since my entire house is covered with the kids than our room is just pictures of us and different milestones in our marriage/relationship. So it is a very romantic room. I would recommend that to anyone!

Let me know what you think.

I did get my new couches in the house tonight and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! Finally after waiting 5 years for a new couch I have it in my living room. I am still in shock.

I will seriously stop tooting my horn now. I was just excited about a few of these changes in the house because I have been wanting to do them for so long!

DONT FORGET!

JEAN PARTY

Just a reminder that the party is this Saturday the 4th from 2-4pm. It isn't at my house so please email me if you want directions. Her house isn't hard to find.

Ok so I found an amazing website that sales all name brand jeans, purses, sunglasses, ect. These aren't knock off's and the prices are amazing. For a pair of True Religion jeans it is 80.00 dollars through this lady and they are regularly 340.00 in the store. So I decided to have a party so everyone else could take part of this awesome deal too! So I am throwing a party over the deer hunt...kind of doing it as Deer Widow's weekend shopping spree :)
Name Brands are: True Religion, Rock n' Republic, Seven, Juicy Coutoure'
I dont have everyone's email address so if your interested just email me and I will give you all the information!

Making a splash!

Gracie is so proud of herself after she goes down the slide. She has to sit and have everyone clap for her!

We have been going swimming alot lately at indoor pools for a fun family activity. It has been so much fun. I usually dont get pictures of Kelton because he is too busy running around, going up and down the slide, under water, ect. Kelton is getting so big but he still comes and gets me to go down the slide with him so that makes me feel good. He still wants to hang with his stepmom, not too old yet! So here are a few pics of Gracie going down this duck slide that she absolutely loved!

Date Night with my favorite person in the whole world!

Max and I decided to have a date night since they come few and far between and we invited some friends of ours to join us. It was way fun. We just went to Iggy's and then we were going to do a movie afterwards but our friends had to get home to the kids. Which actually made me excited to get home to my Gracie Girl. I hate leaving her for even a few hours but it is nice to just spend time with Max.
