a long time between blogs...sorry

Our house is slowly gearing up for Halloween. I never really loved the holiday until I had kids and now I just love it. So I was looking for some fun Halloween crafts the kids could do. And I found these cute little ghost milk jug thingers. I got it from one of my favorite mags. Family fun Click here to get instructions. I outlined the eyes and mouth and each girl colored them in. Then we found a pack of Christmas lights, cut a hole in the back and shoved in the lights. We filled the bottom of the jugs with rocks to keep them more stable. And there you go...

Our Spooky Friends. They really did turn out cute.


We are also at the start of making our Halloween Costumes. I had a really cute Idea to make Lilly into a chicken but the feathers "FREAKED" her out. so I asked what she wanted to be and she said a Pump-pi-kin. So, we headed to Wal-mart, picked up a 2 dollar orange t-shirt, a 2 dollar hunter orange hat some felt and a sharpie and we are good to go. Here is the start of the costume. she was pretty excited. We are going to stuff the shirt and she'll have black leggins on but you get the picture.
She was pretty happy.

and Proud.

Gracie wants to be the corps bride. I told her that might be a stretch for me. I don't know how to sew really well. So we'll see what we come up with.
And Kunka is going to be a cute bunny. I can do wonders with pink sleeper jammies, a fluffy tail and ears.

And Last, my dear BFF Jill, in Delaware, sent us a box full of clothes for my girls. They are much needed and we are forever greatful. It was like Christmas at our house last night. Gracie tried on all the dresses right off. She was spinning and dancing and just happy. Lilly was also excited and they just were so lovey to each other that I snapped a few pictures of them.
They are so sweet. Sorry no Kunka Pictures.
She was down for the night. Next time we'll get her.
I love my girls.
