Christmas is coming...

the geese are getting fat...
We are gearing up for the cold. So far we've only had 1 snowday! It's been a warm fall so far and I *love* it!!!!! Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner and then did FHE with them. We sent letters to Santa in our new Magic MAilbox and today we got letters back and some sweet treats for being on the nice list! My kids were so excited! Jace was yelling at me to come downstairs at 7am!! Campbell just wanted me to open her Tootsie Rolls! --- Thank goodness for tons of leftover Halloween Candy!! (FYI, we aren't big candy/sweets-eaters over here, so we still have a pretty full bucket!) Anyway, my camera has a low battery and won't take a pic, so as soon as I replace the batteries, I'll get a pic up of our awesome BIG mailbox!! Until then, enjoy this one:
This cute one was after Jace gave his first talk as a sunbeam! He was so brave and super cute, of course!!!

Bebe in her dress

Here are a few cute ones of little bebe in her Christmas dress. It's much cuter on, I think! She was having a hard time standing still (or sitting still, for that matter!)

Finally occupied with a piece of paper!!
I'm gonna make some black headbands with pink flowers to go with the dress... tfl!

Crafts

Here's my most recent creation, last night to be exact.... this bad boy only took me 2 hours to complete from start of pattern making, to finished product... ok, so it's not quite done, but oh so close!! This will be Baby Punk's Christmas dress and Boy Punk will have a sweet bowtie to go along with it!! Here was the first of the two, my friend Lang helped me bust this one out over the summer!! Love this style! the original style we copied from is a Matilda Jane dress... such cute and funky stuff!

We've had a few fun things going on the last couple weeks, birthday parties, Holidays, chuck e cheese, pre-school... But I've been busy as ever! A bunch of us are throwing a craft boutique the weekend before Thanksgiving, so I've been trying to get stuff completed... here are some sneak peeks to whet your appetite:

These awesome little tutus were so-o easy to make! We will have ribbon tutus and bracelets as well!

These are just a bunch of random shots of all our stuff. Paper crafts, wood working, vinyl lettering, fabric.... we've had A LOT of fun crafting the last couple months!

Message me if you're interested in coming to the show! All our stuff is pretty inexpensive, we've just had so much fun doing it!!

Anyway, we are doing well, Cam is trying to finish up patient stuff so we can finish up school. Boy Punk is living it up as a 4 year old, Baby Punk is sweet as ever, lovin' on everyone and everything! Life is good!

Oh, it's Halloween!

There are a bunch of pics and I'm not really feeling like writing about each one, so you'll have to guess at them!! We went as the Yo Gabba Gabba crew, minus Muno and Plex the Magic Robot. I keep saying I won't make our costumes next year, but I *love* it, so I'm sure I'll continue to make homemade ones as long as my Punky B's will wear them! Enjoy! Big J went as DJ Lance Rock

Little C went as Foofa

Mom and Dad went as Toodee and Brobee, respectively

These pics are for Matt Hein-ee... we know you'll be on here looking for some ammo!!

The annual Halloween party. My awesome friend Teri took our pics and pics of all the kiddies in their costumes. you can see her work here: http://picturethisphotographybyteri.blogspot.com/

We went to the Anderson Farms Pumpkin Patch this year. It was really fun until Punky Baby puked all over Dad!

Punky Boy loved it! We ended up not finding a punkin we liked but got plenty of pics! There was a ton of stuff to do included in the entry price so we lived it up until the puke was too much for us to handle

We must be worth more than $12, right?!!

It's almost been a month...

SO... here's a desktop I put pictures on recently... It's of our Halloween costumes from last year.
We dressed as Peter Pan characters, obviously: Pan, Tink, TigerLily, Hook. That was a fun Halloween! Here's to another good one!
