I am excited for this Christmas Decor class. Everything to make for the class is very easy and I happen to think very cute. You can make as many items as you would like. You need to purchase the Decor Elements which is $11. After that you can decide which projects you would like to make. If you choose all the projects pictured the cost is $30 which is a discount of 10% if you purchase items individually. Not all of the decor elements were used so you will still have vinyl left over.

Let me know if you would like to come. I will hold the class on DEC. 1st from 1pm-8pm. You can come anytime in that time frame to complete your projects. I will need orders by November 24th. Thanks

Time for Halloween Fun!

We had a fun Halloween this year. I think I vote we have Halloween on a Saturday every year. Friday we had Ryley's fun school activities and Saturday we had the trunk or treat and then just hanging out around the house. The kids ate too much candy but a good time was had by all.

I was surprised that Mikey wore his costume. At this age Max would not even let me put anything on him. Ryley was Dorothy, Max wanted to be Bobo Fett (star wars) and Mikey was Yoda. Mikey actually had two costumes since I forgot I bought a costume on clearance last year. I think his second costume fits his personality better. The little Devil just fits him. Ben said that it hit a little to close to home.

My nieces came up for Halloween and I love having them around they are great girls. My niece Lauren wanted to be scared on Halloween so Ben stepped in to help. About a year ago Ben's Family bought a building that used to be the Old Saint Marks Hospital. It was an operational hospital over a hundred years ago. He has been teasing her for awhile that she could spend the night in the old morgue. Well her and her friend decided to be up for the challenge. Of course her friend became mysteriously ill on Halloween. Ben still took Lauren down to the office to check it out. I think he went easy on her. she still said it was pretty creepy. I'll try to get some pictures to creep the rest of us out.

Mikey is 2

Michael turned two this month. Where does the baby go. I don't think he has gone too far. I think He really enjoys being the baby he likes his crib, likes a bottle at night and has no intention of using a toilet. Regardless he might be too old to still be participating in some of these activities. He is for now the baby of the Family.

We had a fun day with Michael. We took the kids to build a bear for his birthday and he loved about the first two steps after that he just ran around the store. Max and Rye were happy they each made a friend with a personal song. Rye chose Hannah Montana and Max loves the Jonas Brothers. I can't wait to remind him of his fan following when he is older.

Michael is a pretty fun kid but he tends to be a bit of a bully I really have to watch him around kids. We was washing his bear when another kid came over. since like I mentioned Mike tends to be a bit aggressive when the kid got too close he pushes him down. I see this happening from across the store and run yelling NOOOO! No major damage just a crying kid caused by my, bully kid. The bad part was Ben went to apologize to the kids mom and kept saying sorry he pushed your daughter. After the lady left I said the kid was a he not a she. I think that probably was the icing on the cake for Rogers family insults to some nice lady with her kid. Anyway...

Michael did have a fun day he really loves planes and I attempted to make him a plane cake. I was NOT very successful. After toiling over this cake for 4 hours. I accepted defeat and stuck it in the frig. On his Birthday the next day when I set it out we are all admiring my failed attempt when BAM! Daisy the puppy jumps up and steals the nose of the crashed plane. After my rage had calmed down. I thought I can fix this them BAM again my mother had cut off the damage and now the plane was really wrecked. It just wasn't my day for a cake. It doesn't matter like Mikey cares right? I better not ever see this image on Cake Wrecks! I know it sucks.


Happy Birthday little man you are quite the kid.

October Activities

We have had a busy October. I think this time of year just starts to fly by. I do love this time of year though, the air and the jacket weather. The kids are always fun at Halloween. They have been planning their costumes for a weeks. I think they can hardly wait til Saturday.
WE took the kids in the beginning of October to Patch's Pumpkin Patch in Farmington. We had a fun day. Walking all over looking for the perfect pumpkin. We ended up taking home 3 big pumpkins but the kids really wanting 20 or so. Every few steps they would see another one that was the perfect pumpkin.
This Patch also has a corn maze and so we ventured in. It wasn't long til Ben and I were both tired and we were no where near an exit. After wandering for about 30 minutes we found the way out much to my relief. Rye said at one point,"We might as well sleep here!"
It was a good day minus the fact the Mikey was in desperate need of a nap and slept hard the minute we arrived home. Good time. Stay tuned to see how we massacre the pumpkins.
