HaPpY hAlLoWeEn!!

Hallee so did not want to do the school parade. So since I made her she is rolling her little eyes at me! (yeah good luck to me with her in teenage years :)

Our little Purple cheerleader!
I let her wear makeup so she is totally pumped!

Wanted to be just like her best friend ever but wanted a pink costume since it's her favorite color!

Isn't she cute!

Just a few Pictures

I'm still editing the others but here are a few of the family pictures we did. It was fun. We just went by a friend of Keith's barn and had my mom snap some pictures and then keith and I took the ones of the leaves.

Quote of the Day

"Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, "Oh Crap, She's up!"

Pumpkin Carving Time!!!

I usually hate decorating pumpkins but this year I enjoyed it! NO Carving! It was great. My sister told me about these kits at Walmart that are just like Mr. Potato Head and they are amazing! The girls had a blast. Plus there was no huge mess to clean up afterwards! Such a great Family home evening!

Project monday

Of course for project Monday today we painted pumpkins! The girls had a blast and I enjoyed it since there was no effort required! They are enjoying project monday and look forward to it!

Project Monday!

Halloween Cupcakes!

Hallee's 1st Perm

Hallee decided that she is Taylor Swifts biggest fan and just had to have her hair curly! So I did a perm on her. She loves it! She walks with a bounce now just so her hair will bounce up and down! She's so funny!

Project Monday!

I am going to start doing project Monday's with my girls. It doesn't have to be anything too major just something for me and the girls. They just seem like they are growing up too fast and I don't want to get too "busy" and then turn around and there they are all grown. So this is my new goal. I usually do quite a bit of stuff with them, but this way it'll force me to get creative and just have fun! Today we did just homemade play dough. Then we took Halloween cookie cutters and had a good old time! I got this recipe from one of my friends. It uses koolaid so it smells good! Here's the recipe
1 1/2 T.veg oil
1 Pkg. Koolaid
1c. boiling water
Food coloring
Mix all this together and then add:
1/4c. salt
1 1/4 c. flour ( I used a little more than that) The more flour the more stiffer it will be

Future nail techs!

My girls found my old manicure hands from school. They just had to play with them. So we got out all my old colors and away they went. Taking after their mommy!

Christmas in October!

Merry Christmas! Ok my girls haven't enjoyed the outside much of the summer. Hallee was afraid of bugs and Lexi does whatever sissy does. I kept telling them you'll hate it when it starts snowing and it's too cold to go outside. So when it started snowing and the girls started begging to go outside I just gave in. Then I started them a nice warm bubble bath with some warm hot chocolate!

My Day

Here is what my house looks like when I get done working (well not always but most of the time!!) The joys of working from your home!! You seriously would think I was raising a whole ton of kiddos. No really I just have two little sweet sweet girls. But even with this big of mess I wouldn't trade it for anything! I am grateful I have a job where I can be a full time mom too!

Dentist

The girls both had their dentists appointments this month. It's Hallee's second one but it was Lexi's first! They both did so good!

New piano! Well sortof......

Hallee decided she wanted to start piano lessons. So I decided it was time to get my butt in gear and re-do my piano keys. This was project I knew would take me forever. You first have to take apart the whole piano. (Thanks Keith and Dad!) Then you have to take out each individual key and scrape all the old ivory off. ( That part was the hardest) Then you sand it and pvc glue on a new plastic keytop. Repeat 52 times! Thank goodness 1/4 of the way thru hunting season ended so that Keith could help me! He was so fast and I was so slow! It looks like a whole new piano now and Hallee is on her 2nd week of piano! She's doing so good!! I am so glad she wants to. It's one of my talents that I am so glad that I have. It comes in very handy at times.

This is what the old keys looked like Gross huh!
