almost ready

One wizard. Check.
One robot. Check.
Two candy bags. Check.
Looks like we are just about ready for some trick-or-treating. We just need those neighbors coughcoughgretchencoughcough to load up on the candy.



And what better way to showcase Mr. Optimus Prime then with some Robots Unplugged from My Little Shoebox.


I was also able to make this girly layout using paper from the same line.

I hope everyone enjoyed the dry day we had today in the B'ham area. I hear there might be a couple of those week. Have a great night!

Changes

We have been in this house for three years and I am just know getting around to decorating it. We were not exactly sure how long we would be staying here so I never really fooled with it before. But seeing as we are still here I am starting to add some personal touches. I have decided to start in the boys room. Just painted their room went from a baby blue almost to a darker blue.(Please ignore the messy room.)



I have also discovered chalkboard paint. Seeing as I only used a small amount for the boy's new black board I have some fun plans for the rest of the can.


I have also been making some small changes around the house. I was inspired by Lisa. I am not a big holiday decorator just because I hate keeping up with the stuff but I did try to make my home more fall friendly.



Well I hope has a great week!

FYI

If you ever get the idea to start painting at four in the afternoon don't!

I {heart} ki

Last week KI had their Wicked Craft Party. After a quick reminder from Gretchen I was able to join in on the fun. I am so glad I did because I won one of their door prizes. I was so excited cause I never win anything. And let me tell you they don't disappoint.


How fun is this cute Valentine kit! I can't wait to do something with this. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

When did this happen

Those who know my oldest know that he could care less about girls, unlike the little one who claims to have 4 girlfriends. Well apparently that is not the case anymore. The other day while watching tv Demi Lovato came on and Isaiah yells, "She's Hot". I mean really, when did this happen. I even discovered a poster of her on the back of his door! You know, those posters that come out of those teen magazines and I have never bought the stupid things, so who knows how he got it. I don't care how cute this girl is and I know the fact that he will ever meet her are slim to none, but still in the back of my head I am thinking her...really....not good enough.


I am not sure I will be able to handle the teen years. Bless those mothers who have daughters, I don't know how y'all do it.

found my mojo

For the past couple of weeks I have been wanting to scrapbook but something was always coming up, like washing dishes doing laundry, or valuable tv time. So last night I decided to just print some pictures and sit down in front on my messy scrap table and see what I create. Well I mananged to finish one layout and create another.



Now I feel the scrappin' juices flowing. I am actually in the process of editing pictures now. Yeah! I know those of you who don't scrap could careless, but those who do, understand. Well I hope everyone has a good week!

One Fish, Two Fish

Red Fish, Blue Fish.


I would like to introduce a couple new members in our household. Stripy, Marlin, Flames, El Emo, D Gemo, and Dory. And even more exciting, after three weeks they're all still alive! Trust me this little fishies are defying the odds. We figured we would have lost one or two of them by now but they are sticking around.
We had a saltwater aquarium when we were first married but we got rid of when we decided to move. Despite the cost I really enjoyed it and wanted to get another one but we weren't exactly sure how long we would be staying in our house and couldn't bother with moving it. But after being here three years and a friend giving him the tank we decided to go ahead and try again. Hopefully this one will last longer than six months! Have a great night!
