Halloween 2010

I am tired so I will keep this pretty brief. We had a fun and exhausting Halloween time this year. These pics are over several different days.

We had Bronson's preschool Halloween party here on Wednesday, then Logan's school party on Friday, and of course we went trick or treatin' on Saturday. Logan got to wear two different costumes this year because I didn't want him his shark costume ruined in the wood chips at school (the costume is made of felt). He thought it was great, so he wore his killer whale costume to school and the shark costume to the preschool party and trick or treating.

Both of the boys costumes were bought off of Etsy. (link) The killer whale costume i picked up last year at kid to kid. I just couldn't resist, knowing how much Logan loves all things ocean!

Is this not the CUTEST costume you have ever seen???? This little girl is in Logan's Kindergarten class and she was nice enough to let me take a pic of her. so stinkin' cute! makes me wish i had a girl just so I could have an excuse to make one of these!

Loved the marine costume too!

we made skeletons out of paper plates, (link) and got the idea to paint our jars (link).

I even dressed up this year.

bat cupcakes

I thought that these turned out so cute (and boyish too!) so I decided to share them with ya'll! I thought some of you may want to know how I made them, so I included a few pics of the process.I went on my computer and found a bat shape that I liked ( mine is actually just clipart) then I made it a few different sizes b/c I wasn't sure which I would like best. (the boys had no problem disposing of my "mistakes" for me)
I took some wax paper and taped it to my table, then I slide my paper underneath it. I used this as a template and traced the outline in chocolate (I like to use chocolate almond bark). After filling in the bat I simply move the paper to another spot and start again. see! so easy!

the latest

Gosh, it has been nearly two months since my last post. I don't know why, but I haven't really felt like blogging lately. And from the looks of my reading list, I am not the only one.

Let's see... Steve is still at the same job, and in his last semester for his RN. I am still trying to keep things under control around our house. Logan is still loving school. Oh, I don't think I blogged this yet, Bronson has started preschool--I think I have a pic here somewhere, I will try and find it and post it.

Yep. that is basically it. We are keeping busy, but nothing too exciting. Let me think, I must have some cute stories for you..... oh... Logan kinda had a little girlfriend there for a bit, but she is no longer interested, though he still really likes her and tells me that he is still "thinking about marrying her". so we will see.

I have been working on Christmas presents, and they are super tedious, but very cute. I would put pics up here but some of you who read may have a child who will be getting something from us for Christmas and I would hate to spoil it! but each 'set' takes about 48-50 hours to make, thus far I have only made about 5 sets. I still have a long ways to go!

In other holiday news I have been working on some Halloween decorations recently. Made me some candy corn garland to drape about our house. And can I just say that it really turned out lovely. If anyone is interested I can post some pics and give you some tips that I picked up along the way. Very very cute stuff.

I guess that about sums us up for now. . . . so. . . . what's up with you??
