what can you do with post-its?

December already?

It is December! WOW. I can't believe it.

I have been busy getting stuff made for Christmas. Lots to do and no time to do it. I have a feeling everything will turn out just right though, so here's hoping. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We did. Just one house to go to so it was very stressless. Always a nice thing.

Night Out

My sisters and I went to see this movie tonight.

I loved it! Such a great movie. Everyone and their mother apparently wanted to see it also. The first theater we went to was sold out for the time we wanted so we decided to head to another theater with a show time just a little later. While standing in line that showtime sold out too.

So we bought tickets right then for the late show and just walked around the mall for 2 hours. It was definitely worth the wait and the running around. I'm glad we didn't settle for another movie.

Now I'm beat and getting ready to head to bed. Lots to do tomorrow!

(why won't it let me double space between paragraphs? It's driving me crazy)

Sidewalk Paint

Today I made Reagan some sidewalk paint. It's so easy to make and will keep kids busy for a long time.

I started out with 2 tablespoons of corn starch, added about a tsp. of water and mixed it together. I didn't like the consistency so I added more water a few drops at a time until I got what I though was a good mix. I then added a few drops of food coloring and we had sidewalk paint!

This is what it looks like wet.

And here it is dry. Looks just like chalk!

Reagan loved it. She didn't want to come inside but it started to get cold so...

I dumped the rest out. See how pretty! She wasn't real happy with me but I'm sure we'll be making more soon.

Now..I have been busy trying to get things made for Christmas. Is anyone else doing a HomeMade Christmas? I'd love some ideas. I'm having a tough time coming up with something to make for my 8 year old son. There doesn't seem to be a lot out there in blogland for boys. So if anyone has any suggestions I'd be thrilled! Just leave me a comment.

Happy Halloween

Would like to wish you all a Happy Halloween!

(I love how the bags turned out to match their costumes.)

Late Nights

I've had a lot of late nights the past couple of weeks. Trying to get the kids costumes done, preparing for school parties, home get togethers and just relaxing by myself in the quiet. (The best time for that is 2 am)

I bought this Halloween fabric last week to make Reagan a skirt and forgot about it until Sunday night. So first thing Monday I got started on it. It didn't take to long at all. I love the twirl it gives when she dances! *this is the face she makes when you tell her to make a funny face. How cute is she? :)

Sneak peak at my costume. I'm sure you can probably guess what I'm going to be. Right? It is almost done, just a few holes to be cut out and I'm ready to PARTY. I can't wait. The husband and I are getting a night out without the kids Saturday.
