Finley

3 Funny "quotes" from her recently


me...."Finley are you crying"
fin...."no, my eyes are just sweating"

while outside putting up christmas lights.....fin...."I need to take my hat off 'cause Jack just ate some dirt"

while contemplating what she was going to ask for Christmas.....fin...."im sinking, im sinking"

all to which we just look at her, like, 'what?'

current christmas favorite

A few Christmas seasons back I posted my favorite Christmas commercial (for there are tons)....it was an iPod Will Ferrell one....

Here is my current favorite commercial and it isnt even December yet. Actually, all the Target ads involving this kooky lady have been pretty funny...

blog stalker

I am a blog stalker, you should see my blog roll....and 90% of them are because of crafts....there is one blog I go to that showcases different blogs daily. Invision 12 thumbnails of different themes for the day....for instance....'daily d.i.y' or 'daily christmas wrapup'. Believe me....it gets the ideas going and basically gets me in trouble.
I am so ready to get my Christmas Craft on. The problem is, I see all these things I want to make, make them, then have no where to put it. Just ask Emily....I made her a cute mummy Halloween wreath....for her work office, not sure if she even used it.

So we come to this wreath which was on the blog previously mentioned!!

I sooooo want to make it, yet dont know where I would put it.....

If you would like to make it too....here are the instructions
CANDY CANE WREATH.

There is this one to.....using leaves....so neat!!


Where have YOU seen some fun Holiday crafts that you are itching to try??

Halloween 2010

Finley, perfect timing, fell asleep about an hour before we were to leave. This is how I found her....OUT on top of all the sofa pillows and a toy smushed up on her face. Once she woke, sweaty mess, she decided she didnt want to be Jasmine....she wanted to be a Groovy Girl (costume I bought AFTER Halloween last year for dress up)....Go figure.

Not bad accessorizing on the fly....

Not GI Joe...Army Guy

After Trick or Treating...Heading home. I was Velma and Sean was a Pirate (pretty authentic looking)


Quick Trip to visit Grandma!! (In hospital recovering from a broken Humerus)


House we visited last year with a cool candy dispenser talking thingy on the porch...

It was a perfect cool, crisp Halloween Night.

Pre Halloween Fun

This weekend, the cousins came to town for an impromptu Halloween Get Together....there was apple bobbing, mummy bowling, Halloween Bingo, Mummy Wrap, cooking witches fingers and made pumpkin personal pizzas....ending the evening with carving pumpkins....It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all. Im just saying I DISLIKE blogger and its photo uploading craziness....out of order!!!! Is there a secret??


Mummy Wrap


Pumpkin carving

Notice it is ALL adults....the kids were long gone by now. Props goes out to Shannon and her job carving Coles Pumpkin.....he probably picked the most intricate of the options. She did great!!

Can you guess who is whos??

mine (apple corer expirement), Cole, Fin (same as last year), Braden, Kellan (minus the paci), Kane (Old School!)

Bobbing for apples....everyone succeeded....Cole got his in like seven seconds flat. Even Grandad gave it a shot.
