Getting The Hang Of It

Please pardon the pun, but I am hooked on crochet. I have finished my second project, and started my third. I feel like I am finally getting the hang of it, even if my work is still a bit wonky.

Dylan likes his new scarf. I hope to get a few more projects done, and maybe have a comfy blanket made by Winter.

Handmade Costumes

This year the kiddos decided that they wanted to make their own costumes for Halloween. I thought it sounded like a great idea, and a great way to see their creativity. They each have a different character in mind, and it has been fun working with all of the kids getting their costumes just right.

Thade decided he wanted to be Dr. Eggman from Sonic. He drew up a sketch of his costume, and he made me a list too.

He really loves his costume, and he learned a new phrase too D.I.Y.

Dylan decided he wanted to be a cowboy. He already has a cowboy hat, boots, and a good pair of cowboy jeans. We checked out the local used clothing shop, and found a great shirt, and a cowboy belt too.

He loves his cowboy look.

Agnes is dressing as Bonnie from Toy Story 3.

We made a necklace and a bracelet,

and a tutu too.

The kids can’t wait for Halloween!

Crisp Morning

Today it really feels like Fall. When I took the boys to school it was 39 F, and it was cool and crisp. The trees are getting some pretty autumn color too. Here’s a few from our neck of the woods.

I love this bright yellow and orange tree just down the street from us. It is beautiful.

I absolutely love this time of year.

Agnes picked up a few leaves to bring home. She didn’t mind the chilly walk.

Autumn is the best!
