Crafty

I decided that the outside of our house needed some dressing up since our lawn is dead, and the easiest thing for me to come up with was a holiday wreath. When I went to find one, I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I decided to make my own. It really wasn't much cheaper than buying one already made. Actually, I used pine cones that Emilee had found and brought home so that kept the cost down (hehe). But, this gave me experience and forced me to be creative. It also helped me ignore my children for a while.

It took longer than I thought, too. We'll see if I'm willing to make a Christmas wreath or if I break down and just buy one.

Halloween

Here are a few pictures the day before when we carved our pumpkins. We had our friends over for the night . . . the dog belongs to them.

Emilee was forced to be Vanna White with the pumpkins.

And, here are our costumes. We could not pass up the chance to do Goldilocks and the Three Bears this year.

Here are a few pictures of our little monkeys.

Since they both have mokey PJs, we couldn't pass up the chance for pictures.

Sweet things in life

Fun around Conference time.

Logan made a discovery.

Oh, what's that?

Ooooo, a cupcake?

I want that!

Poor kiddo . . . that is still months away for you.

Emilee and I made cinnamon rolls (as is tradition) for Conference.
