Halloween Memories

Is there anything cuter than chubby little faces and fuzzy Halloween costumes?  I think not!  I love looking back at the kids over the last four years.

So adorable!  

The last few years we haven't been able to keep our annual Pumpkin Carving Contest going, but while the tradition was alive...it was EPIC!  (and I will not brag about pulling off a three-peat win with my Sister Meg.)  Here are some of the awesome pumpkins we've made:

We don't mess around.  I have a feeling with tomorrow's weather forecast  it's probably not going to be the best Halloween.  Oh well, I guess we'll just make the best of it!  Have fun and be safe!  

Halloween Hangover

I've been recovering from a crazy week.  Still eating candy, despite my awful, cavity filling dentist appointment yesterday...ugh.  Pretty much every spare minute I've had has been spent working on designs for my new site.  So, since I'm way behind on my project life pictures, I thought I would at least upload my Halloween pics.

A few pre-halloween treats

Getting ready to hit the neighborhood on Halloween

Kids did great trick-or-treating.  Sydney thought she was supposed to eat every piece of candy right there when she got it...so that really slowed us down.  I think they had fun though.  

There were even treats for the adults too.  Aaaaaa-mazing.

Hope you enjoyed your Halloween too.  Happy November!

Super Fast, Super easy

I am in constant awe of the gals over at eighteen25.  So much talent!  As soon as I see one of their projects I say to myself, "Self...I must make that!"

They recently featured a project that was "Semi-Homemade" (you know, like Sandra Lee) with a quick little printable tag, and store bought soap.  Duh...how easy is that!  I decided to give it a go for Bryce's teachers.  (What Pre-school teacher doesn't fear germs!!!)

The best part was finding all the Halloween Stuff at Bath and Body Works for 75% off.  Score!  I picked up several hand soaps and hand sanitizers (with a spooky Halloween design) for $6.00.  I had the ribbon and paper already, so this was CHEAP!  

Next up was my version of another craft they featured for treat jar toppers.   Seriously, you print this free printable and stick it on a jar...cutest little gift idea!  

I used their design for inspiration, but wanted a Halloween theme.  

So there you have it!  Two super easy, super cheap ways to make your poor three year old look like the biggest brown noser in his pre-school.
