Santa's Workshop

Of course after all that Halloween sewing I just couldn't stop.  I saw this idea on etsy and modified it a little bit. It is a reversible batman/superman cape.  I made a couple for my friend and one for Kaleb.  I think Kaleb will love it.  Hopefully it will help him want to be a good guy rather than a bad guy :)  We have been watching too much Star Wars around here (which I never watched as a child) I think it is time to take a break from lightsabers and Darth Vader. 

Kirk was with me at JoAnns and we  saw this fleece BYU fabric.  He casually mentioned me making him a blanket so I went ahead and did it :)  I put fleece binding all around the edge.  It was a little bit harder to get it straight and even on both sides, but I figure the people using it won't be too critical.  

Happy Halloween

Go Super Heroes!!!


I love Halloween and all the candy!!! Today started out so fun. The kids got to wear their costumes to school. MacArthur had a parade with all the students around school and the neighborhood. It was so fun to see all the kids decked out and feeling so cute.

Okay check out that spiderman. The kids were convinced he was real. He totally acted like him too. I think I would have to work out for months before I attempted to get into a tight spandex suit. Maybe next year :)

For now I will just dress up like an old lady.

I'm it

I love reading stuff about everyone else but hardly ever put myself out there. So watch out, I am finally doing my first tag.

8 Things that Happened Yesterday

Watched Kirk change Katelyn's bandage from her head wound (good thing we have an RN around)

Fed & changed diapers for not one, but two babies (I watch my brother's 3 month old)

Had Presidency Meeting

Went to my parents house just for a change of scenery
Went Birthday shopping for Kirk with 2 babies (easier said than done)

Watched the Parent Trap 2 with Katelyn

Let Kirk use my toothbrush (He threw his away and we thought we had another one in the cupboard, but we didn't. I think I'll buy me a new toothbrush today too.)

Fell asleep on the couch at 9:45

8Things I am looking Forward to

Friday

Cooler weather

Christmas

Finally retiling the kids bathroom shower

Finding a good home for Max (our dog, not my child)

Planting new flowers in the front

Season Premiere's of favorite shows

Kirk going back to school (the sooner he starts the sooner he's done)

8 Things on my Wish List

A garden than can withstand a Golden Retriever's digging urges

New kitchen countertop

Sprinklers

Clean House (especially the floors)

More time in the day for the fun stuff, and less time for the not so fun stuff.

No sickness (except Kirk would be out of a job)

A bike with a trailer so I (and the kids) could enjoy the cooler weather that should be coming

A laundry center like the Jetsons (washes, dries, and folds in a matter of seconds)
