The Big Reveal!!!

I know everyone is just dieing to know what it is that we were making - or not!!  But here it is anyway!! 

I found this craft on the first site that I went to, which is one of my absolute most favorite blogs http://www.ourbestbites.com/.

(If you want to find the post about how to make these, click HERE, also if you have boys, or girls that like to get messy - try THIS, which is super fun.)

Anyway, I love these - they turned out so much cuter then I thought - and the boys thought they were great.  And they also had quite a bit of fun making them - and after the first few minutes of showing them how to do, they were able to do it pretty much by them selves.  (Much better then the crafts that you end up having to basically do yourself.)  And once we put the candles in them (yes Jeni they are candle holders - nice guess!) the boys loved them even more - and didn't want us to put the candles out at all last night.  (We finally did after they went to sleep.)

So they are more excited then ever to start on our next project - Which we are hoping will be finished before October 1st!!

Halloween Craftiness!!

Wow, two posts within a few day of each other.  I'm shocked at myself!!

Anyway, Wes has been very big on Halloween, and especially decorating our house.  I figured it would be fun if we created some of the decorations ourselves.  So I spent some time on the internet trying to find something to do.  However, a little time, ended up being A LOT of time, because holy cow are there a ton of crafty blog out there, and I found so many amazing ones.  So I've made a rather large list of crafts that we have most of the things already for and that the boys can help with as well as get a little messy with.  We will be making most (maybe all) of these crafts sometime before Halloween.  And we started on the first one this afternoon. 

We used a little of this - 

And did a little bit of this -

And created some things like this -

But they aren't finished yet - so you'll have to wait 'til tomorrow or Wednesday to see what they finally become!!

(And I'm not promising anything - but I'm going to try and post most (if not all) of the things that we are creating.  So come back a little more often then usual - at least for the next month.)

Fashion Accessories!!

 Glasses - can you call them a fashion accessory??  They aren't exactly something people wear if they don't need them. (Unless you're talking about sunglasses.)  But now days if you need them, you can make sure to get really cute ones.  I think that we did that for Wes!!  (I don't know why, but I think he looks a little like a small Greg Kinnear.)
