Wordless Wednesday

WNO

Had no idea that Witches Night Out was such an event!

Thousands of cacklin' women...and a few brave men.   

Had a great time out with the girls @ Gardner Village. 

Plenty o' people watchin' for sure.  Loved the ABBA witches.  

I'm thinking Shannon may have their picture posted sometime?

(kidnapped the pic from Candi's blog .thanks. my camera was mia)

Halloween for the dogs

If I were to dress up Hank & Boo for Halloween, I would totally get these costumes.  

The cheerleader costume cracks me up.

Red Barn

We hit the Red Barn last week along with Kade's preschool group.  

Shane happened to be home, so he and Kendal came along.  The kids had a great time on the hay ride & picking out some pumpkins and we all enjoyed the yummy cider cake donuts.  YUM.

I did it!

It's official.  

He is a big boy, sporting big boy underwear for the past week. 

He has had his eye on the coveted Dinoco Chick Hicks for awhile. (Surprisingly, he doesn't have it)  

So I told him when he went without accidents for 2 days & actually did the big deed (he has had issues with #2) in the potty, he could get it.  (I let him pick out another that he doesn't have just because I was so proud) 

Those Disney folks really know how to market to these kids I tell ya.

He was thrilled!  I am even more thrilled.  Down to 1 in diapers now.  Yippeee!

Good job Kademan!

Project complete

Finished 50 cards from this cute Simply Scrappin' kit from Stampin' Up.

With a little added glitter and ribbon, I was excited at how they turned out.

Shannon  a.k.a. "The Stampin' Up Queen" had a little get-together last week to make these and I didn't get mine finished.  Good thing I had some extra time today or else I may have never got this done...would have been tucked away with many of the other unfinished things I once started.  Perfect Conference listenin' project.  

While I did this...

The kids did this to every room of the house...

Gives me another project I guess.  :-)

2. How long did you date before you married?  Around 13 months  (Long distance.  Cedar to Logan)

Beautiful blue eyes (that both kids have inherited...yes!)

6. What is his best quality? 

He doesn't judge others and is always giving people the benefit of the doubt.  

He is a great dad & loves being with our kids. 

He is a perfectionist.  Spends hours on the yard each week & has the cleanest dog kennel you have seen. You should see his suitcase packing procedure when he gets ready for work. Very methodical! (Oops...that is more than one quality)

19. Will he read this? Yes.  He is one of my faithful followers.

20.  I tag:  Rachel, Brooke, Amber, Sara & Rani.

Conference goodies

Found this fun idea for my VT  here.

Maybe, just maybe I will do these.  Think it is a cute idea nonetheless.

Looking to keep the kids (or yourself) entertained?  print this out.

Love Conference Weekend.  

Usually involves yummy snacking, a project of some sort and lounging around here.

Would love to hear how you spend your Conference weekend.

(traditions, good recipes ,etc.)

Enjoy!
