A little bit of Pixie dust...

So maybe it wasn't pixie dust, but maybe it was fluttercorn?
Poof, here is our little fairy ELLA BELLA

Who could this mystery man be?



These are my doggie ears...








I'm not stealing her candy...really

Wondering if this could be a candy overload?

Maybe next year we will use Pixie dust...or a fairy Godmother...can't wait to see.

When October Goes

One of my favorite songs is "When October Goes"
And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go



Here are some pictures we took yesterday, it was 73 degrees outside....
goodbye October

Fairy wishes

My friend Amy came over last week and this week to help me make this!

Maybe next year I'll make my own costume too...

Amy and her husband are currently hoping to adopt...to learn more about them visit:

They are wonderful people, so if you know of someone who is looking to place their baby for adoption...Amy and Ryan would be great parents.

A bit of Blue and Orange

Have you seen anything more beautiful? I just love my little girl!

So here I go again trying to be a domestic goddess.
My attempt: a skirt
It actually didn't turn out too bad for my first time.


My little model
Lookie: Yoga...downward dog. Wish I could do that.

This past weekend some friends invited us to a Halloween Party...


She was in a bad mood till she saw the suckers...candy makes everything better, right?

And finally, to finish the week, I was able to get one decent shot of her with the pumpkin today after church.

The reason I smile...

Wishing you all a happy October!

Rock Band Baby Shower

Our good friends from Steve's work are expecting...and since we know what it's like not to have family close by we thought it would be a good idea to throw them a baby shower. But with a bunch of engineers coming how could we make it fun for everyone? The answer is simple: Rock Band
So we just went with it.
We cleaned the house, rearranged all the furniture, and I bought all the food at Costco the night before...we were set.

At first we thought it would be about 15 people but it was more like 25. And 25-30 people crammed into my house...how is that going to work? But it did. Here the pictures to prove it.




Here is our temporary playroom........gifts!



I think the parents to be had a blast!
