Trick-or-Treat...

how cool are these treats?

Halloween. I'm pretty sure the girls could take it or leave it. Yes, they're super psyched for the candy but every year it's like pulling teeth to get them dressed and out the door. I was scrambling like crazy to find warm clothes and outfits they'd actually want to wear. One day they tell me they're going to be one thing (and that's what I plan on) and then the day of, they switch on me! Crazy. They.drive.me.crazy!

Ruby is supposed to be a lady bug in a garden (I made her wear snow pants last night it was sooo cold!). Zoe is supposed to be Miley Cyrus (Craig and I thought she looked more like a glamour girl). Little Miss Stella is a Kangaroo that hops around saying 'ribbit, ribbit'!

Hit the whole neighborhood and got home in time to look at the loot, have two pieces of candy, brush teeth and go night-night.

I've been working on hand towels for the shop and will post those soon :)

I took Ruby and Stella for an impromptu visit to The Children's Museum this afternoon. I so love that they are just a few minutes away!

So, I haven't been posting regularly lately and there is a very, VERY good reason for it! My computer had/has a virus that I am going crazy in trying to rid it of. I know deep in my heart that a: we either need a new computer...or b: I need to give it up to the experts and be without it for a few days!!!! I just can't do it!!! I attribute this virus with my moodiness lately...DEFINITELY!!! So. We've lost documents. My email system has changed (for the worse COMCAST, for the worse). I can't seem to get my photo program to work...the whole thing is just a mess so please excuse my absence if you were missing me :)

Tomorrow is Halloween in our town/state...why? don't know...it's silly! So we'll be off Trick or Treating till the wee hours (of 8pm) with friends but I'll try and post some pix of the ladies :)

gingerbread house

Just a quick post as I'm hosting a little sleepover par-tay...

Made these cuties today and will list them in the shop later tonight (possibly).

It was such a gorgeous day we ended up playing at the park for two and a half hours after school. I was savoring the warm sun and the soft breeze knowing soon enough it would be too cold to do so much more. We're off to the school Halloween party tomorrow...hopefully I'll get some good shots to post!

Better go...too much screaming going on...yikes!

Boy was it cold and windy today! It was the perfect kind of day to hunker down and make treats!

Got these done for a custom order....

and sent them off like this...

There was lots of play-doh out today which as you may know makes me all kinds of C.r.A.z.Y! BUT, it was a must do in order to get things done. I also allowed markers to be used and not just regular markers (because those don't last long in this house) but permanent markers which just goes to prove my theory that play-doh makes me C.r.A.z.Y!

It's time to make dinner and I have no clue what that may be...ideas anyone?

Pimp Daddy...

The 'money' shot...

We had a great day yesterday and I so wanted to get this post done last night but was too pooped!

When Daddy got home from work we headed to the most AWESOME corn maze in Lee...We got lost for about 45 minutes in their dragonfly themed maze...the weather was perfect and the girls (especially Z) loved it! C carried R most of the way through and S wouldn't let me put her down for more than a minute so by the time we got finished C and I were ALL SET! The girls wanted to hit the haunted house but it looked way to scary for their ages...maybe in a couple of years. Instead, we let them each pick out the biggest pumpkins they could find for carving later. They were quite content with that.

Next, we headed to Portsmouth to meet up with our friends from Boston. The girls always LOVE seeing 'Uncle' Kenny and this time he brought his beautiful girlfriend Molly...which was a treat (she is such an amazing girl :) We went shopping for a bit and hit the toy store where we got lost in time and held them up in closing...sorry! We left without buying anything which isn't like us (yes, we spoil, often and had no idea they were closed...no one said anything to us!). As you can see from the pix, S wasn't too happy about leaving but she got over it pretty quick.

We all grabbed a bite to eat and had fun having staring contests and joking around about Daddy's love of food :) Before we left Kenny gave the girls some $$$ which always makes any girl happy! R's shot is priceless!!!!
