This post is for Matthew and Kaity's Grandma! She sent Matthew a bunch of winter clothes and they are great! Thank you so much Linda! We love all of them! This morning before school, I had Matthew pick out his favorite outfit to wear to school! That was a big chore! He couldn't chose! He loved the tractor shirt that he is wearing in the photo but he wanted to wear the black camo pants! They really didn't look good together! So I made him chose between the two outfits and this is what he chose! What do you think Linda?

After Matthew was done with the pictures Kaity wanted a turn! So here's her picture! She holding the remote because she was more than ready to watch her morning cartoons!

Thanks again Linda!

Priest River Weekend!

Last weekend we went to see my parents in Priest River! While we were there I bought Matthew and Kaity some wax fangs! Matthew didn't like his but Kaity did! Aren't we sooo cute here! :)

This is what Kaity wanted to do the entire weekend! She LOVES talking on the phone! She would be on the phone in the kitchen and then somebody would get on a different phone in a different room and talk to her! She loved it!

Here's Matthew playing doctor with Kaity while she is on the phone! He's listening to her heart!

Sticker Spots!

Matthew found some stickers the other day and placed them all on his face! When we tried to take them off they left giant red blotches all over his face where the stickers were! It just so happens that that same night we had a Parent Teacher meeting! His teacher actually pulled me off to the side and asked me if he was having an outbreak of something and if he should be there! She felt really embarrassed when I told her that they were from the stickers! He hasn't put any stickers on his face since then!

Fun Curtain Idea!

LOTS OF NEW POSTS! LOOK AT THEM ALL!!!

I found this idea from Better Homes and Gardens! All you do is hot glue some flowerheads to your curtains! I think that they are so cute for Kaity's room! She says something about them everytime we walk in the room! She loves them too!

Homecoming Parade!

On Saturday morning we went to the Homecoming Parade! It was a lot of fun just really cold!

Of course I had to get a picture of me with everybody! I was the camera man! So if I wanted to be in any, I had to take them myself!

Here's me and my Dad!

This was Matthew and Kaity's favorite float! Of course!!

I thought this was way too cute that Matthew stood all by himself with all the big kids waiting for candy! So cute!

Matthew LOVED the little ponies! They were adorable!

Halloween Night!!

There is a very funny story here! Kaity loves Matthew sooo much! She wants to do anything and everything that he does! So when she saw how excited Matthew was to be Spiderman, there was no way she wanted to be a princess! On Friday night, She was screaming and crying when I was trying to get her into her dress! She finally stopped when I pulled out the make-up! And of course Jeff is wrapped around her little finger, so on Saturday morning we had to go to Walmart and see if they had another Spiderman costume! Of course they didn't! We dug through all the costumes and couldn't find one! Then Matthew found the black spiderman costume and got very excited! So everything worked out! Matthew turned into the black, evil, spiderman and Kaity wore Matthew's good spiderman costume! This is the first year that they understood what to do and they actually went door to door by themselves! They were so grown-up!

Here they are with all of their cousins that they went Trick-or-Treating with!

Friday Night Halloween Party!

On Friday Night we went to my Sisters' Halloween party! We all dressed up for it! Matthew was Spiderman, Kaity was a princess, Jeff was a holey ghost, and I was a witch! We had chili to eat and then we had a Trunk or Treat! The kids LOVED it! It was the cutest thing ever to watch both Matthew and Kaity go to each person a actually say 'Trick or Treat'! This was the first year that they actually understood what they were supposed to do! I loved watching them!

Barbie Up Do!

This is how I did Kaity's hair for when she was a princess for Halloween! All you do is wrap the ribbon up with the hair and when you wrap the hair all the way up to the head then you have somebody hold the hair while you tie the ribbon down below the hair! Then you do a lot of hairspray and thats it! It was pretty easy and I think it looks very fancy! Hope you like it too!

Witch's Fingers!

I decided to get in the Halloween spirit by making some spooky Halloween cookies and these were the ones I decided on! They're supposed to be witch's fingers! Matthew and Kaity won't eat them! They get to grossed out when they look at them! funny, huh!? If you would like to make them your self you can get the recipe here! Enjoy!

Rearranging!

We have decided to switch bedrooms with the kids! The kids' room was soooo much bigger than ours, but we didn't switch just for fun though! The kids' bedroom would get so cold at night! Like down in the 50's! So we already had to have the heater on in there! But as for our bedroom it would always be so hot! We wouldn't even sleep with blankets on! You can even feel a hot spot on the floor in our bedroom! We're thinking that it has something to do with the hot water heater pipes or something! So we switched with the kids' and now our room is HUGE!! I swear we could fit a couch in there! I love it! The kids' is a little more squished together but they only go in the to sleep! So it's no big deal for them! but we haven't had to turn the heater on yet! yay!

I thought it was so nice that my dresser fit perfectly in the little area!

My next little project has to be getting rid of the white walls in my bedroom! All I have are the mirrors above my bed! All the other walls are sooo bare! If anybody has any suggestions that would look nice in here, I would love to hear them!

Triangle Headband!

This is pretty easy to figure out just by looking at it! You just section the hair out in front and then section out triangles! 3 or 4 on each side! When you put the elastic in the hair then you do a pull through thing, I used my topsy-tail, and then do another triangle! Does that make sense? I hope so! Hope you enjoy this one!

Framing Project!

Here is the next project that I worked on Yesterday! Yes, can you tell I get bored at home! :) Well, I got this idea from my friend krystal! I got some big frames at the dollar store and painted them white and some little frames and painted them black! Then I order some black and white pictures from Wal-mart! Then I went to that picture store at the Palouse Mall and got a huge piece of Mat Board for only $7! Then you just cut out where you want your pictures to go and then frame it! It was super easy and I love how it looks! We nailed the black frames to the white frames! I thought it gave a unique look to them!

Before Picture!

I realized that I forgot a before picture! Here is what our entertainment center before we painted it! This is for everybody that didn't know what it looked like before! Big change!

Our New Entertainment Center!

Today, Jeff had a day off from work and he gets very restless! He can't just enjoy a day off! He always has to be doing something! So, on his days off is when we get things done! :) Today he wanted to paint the entertainment center black! He thought it would just go well with everything that we have! All of our electronics are black or silver! So thats what we did! I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about it, but now that we're done, I have to say that I actually really like it! It really brings out the TV! What does everyone else think?

Here is a further away shot of it!

The Twisted Bun!

I love this kind of bun! It is super easy and it looks different from a normal bun! This style makes it look more fancy I think! First you just start with a pony tail!

Then you do a two-strand twist! You twist the two seperate strands to the right and then you wrap the strands together going to the left! I hope that makes sense!

Then you just wrap the twist around into a bun and then secure it with another elastic! Then you use a couple of bobby pins to secure it to the top of the head!

Then you add a nice bow or flower to it! This is one of the flowers that I made!

After doing to bun that I showed up above, I thought that it would look even cooler if I used three twists instead of just one! Here is how it turned out!

I really like it this way! Hope everyone else likes it too!
