Craft-a-Faire 10:29 AM

I participated at our church's annual Vendor Craft-a-Faire this year. I was busy making all kinds of things for it over the past few months. I also had Erica, and a few friends put some stuff out. Unfortunately we didn't make much money at all, but it was fun. I have another craft show on Dec 5th and everything that is leftover is going to be put out there. Whatever is left over from that is going up on my new etsy shop (more information on that to come).

Here is my booth:

lots of bright fun stuff

This picture shows some of the journals i made. i decorated them with buttons on the front and ribbons along the binding. You can also see the padded photo albums that Erica made.

Happy Halloween! 10:18 AM

They boys had a great time trick-or-treating. We ended up dressing them up as football players. They wore their Steelers jerseys and were super cute! They ate a little bit of candy and just enjoyed seeing all the other kids and the pumpkins and being out when it was dark.

Nina and Hayden visit! 10:15 AM

Our good friend Nina and her adorable son Hayden came for a visit! It was great to catch up again and I loved seeing Nina as a mom. Hayden is such a good baby and is so cute! I miss them & maybe one day we'll live close again! :)

fall festival fun 12:05 PM

Our church had their annual fall festival a few weekends ago and we took the kids for food and fun. The kids got to ride some rides this year. Just a train and a little piggy ride. I'm pretty sure Colin enjoyed the rides more than Brandon did. He was a little scared, but inside I'm sure he liked it!!
