Forever and a day.

It's been forever since I have posted anything. There isn't a whole lot to report. Reagan has played around with scissors. Not a good thing. She did it once and she gave herself a mullet. She looked just like little Joe on the movie Joe Dirt. Then she did it again a couple weeks later and all she left was a rats tail. So....

I took her to get it fixed and this is how it turned out. I hated it at first but it's slowly growing on me. I made her these dresses. I used this
tutorial for the first dress with little changes here and there. I love it!

I love this dress. I just used an adult t-shirt and altered it to fit her. It's not perfect but she loves it and demanded to wear it daily. The shoes were just plain ugly white canvas shoes that i painted pink. She LOVES them. She wears them and sings the boots song from Dora.

I promise to post again soon. I'll leave you with my new favorite picture of Reagan. I played around with a site called Picnik. I love that site.

PS...I love her hair in this picture.

Fabulous K is having a giveaway day and has tons up over there. Go check it out!

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
