A group of my friends and I went to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn last Thursday! Being the dork that I am, I wanted to make shirts for everyone. I tend to commit to making things without having any idea of how to do what I want to do. So fortunately, I have a friend who loves craftiness as much as I do and together we figured out how to make these shirts! (sorry it's not the greatest picture)


It's amazing what you can do with freezer paper, an iron, paint and glitter! Here we all are on our way to the movie!!


And here we are after the movie. The movie was crazy!! It has been so long since I read the books I had forgotten how intense this part of the saga was. I'm glad we all were able to go together.


Before we went to the movie we helped our friend spray paint some stuff for her "glow in the dark" party she threw for her 2 year old boy! Because I am terrible at using my camera these are the best pictures I could get.




Shane opening all his presents. There are so many boys!!!


Here is Ava with the other babies. Until my friend Mandie's baby arrives, Ava will be the only girl in our crowd!



And because of my new love for freezer paper stencils I made this for the birthday boy!



And here are a couple of extra's just because my kids are so darn cute!! Oh and in case you are wondering what in the world Landon has on, its a brace for his broken collar bone. Yes! He broke it! That's my wild boy, always full of energy. That happened a couple weeks ago, and he is healing pretty well!

Our Halloween this year was pretty low key. Let me just tell you that I am still working on getting my house completely put together, and because of how crazy life has been I have had no energy to put into being that crafty. I didn't even realize until late Halloween night that we had not carved a pumpkin! Oh well, maybe next year! I did however, find some time to work on a simple costume for Landon. He absolutely loves everything and anything that has to do with tools. He can tell you the names of most tools too! Smart boy! So I thought it was only fitting that his costume have something to do with tools, he was Handy Manny! I like the idea of always making my kids Halloween costumes, so I put his together myself. I dyed his shirt, it was the first time I have ever done this. It turned out pretty good, but next time I need to be a littlemore careful with the dye! I might have stained our counter a little bit. Oops! Oh, and always wear gloves!



Here is my little handy man! He made a great Handy Manny.



I am hoping to make Ava's costume next year. This year I just bought her the cutest little fall outfit! She is the sweetest baby! A little pumpkin.



And here we all are. Once again, this is as good as our family pic's get with our busy boy! It's a miracle everyone is looking at the camera!



We made it by both sets of grandparents and our sweet friends the McInturff's trick-or-treating. And that is the extent of our Halloween! Not much, but it was fun!

Here is what I made for Landon's costume last year. He was Super Landon! He still loves this cape! Check out that long hair! Oh my!!


I hope to make both of theirs next year! I am also hoping that this time next year our lives are even more settled! We will see...
