DON'T BE A VICTOM

 

The Diaper Cake

 

So I finally got pictures of the diaper cake I made for Monett's baby shower in August. I had so much fun doing it. I love making crafty things...as you may have noticed. I looked at them on line and they sell for a ton of money. They didn't even have as many goodies to go along with it AND they were smaller. I wonder how much money mine would sell for? Any guesses???

The Pumpkin Farm

 

Well, we made it to Bishops Pumpkin Farm just barley this year. We met Nephi there after he got off work. We got there just 45 min. before it closed and we rushed to have the "All American Fall Festive" experience. We rode the little train, saw the animals, and picked out a pumpkin from the already gathered pumpkins at the entrance. Although it was quick we still had fun. These past few months have just been extremely busy with above normal chaos that seems to always find me. We hope to carve our pumpkins tonight before Halloween tomorrow. We'll have to fit it in sometime between after school, homework, dinner and the girls hula dance class.....hmmm do you think we can do it???

My Fairy Wings

  So these are the fairy wings I've been making. I've sold some and hope to sell more. I also made one tutu for little Manhattan to match her fairy wings. I loved doing it. It's her birthday gift early for Halloween. I only hope it gets there in time!!!

Truman's 4th Birthday October - 24

 

Yes, I actually made the Transformer cake myself and frosted it all freehand. Truman had the nerve to tell me that it was missing the red transformer icon on his chest. It just wasn't good enough I guess...not perfect enough. i think he still had a good time though.

Phoebe's 7th Birthday - October 16

 

Phoebe's birthday was low-key with only family this year because she was the only one who ended up with a party last year. Her list of gifts were very funny. She wanted flowers from her dad, a vampire costume for Halloween, a pair of fairy wings, a necklace, bracelet, and headbands. Pretty simple! It was a good day for her and she was happy! The little and simple things make life enjoyable.

Yeah It's Been Awhile....Let's Catch Up

Ok, so I've been really busy doing a million things over the past month so I'm going to do a quick re-cap of it all. I keep getting nagged about getting a new post up.

1. (9/5/08) Piper brought home a container of walking sticks to babysit over the weekend from her 3rd grade class. They're were fun to look at but I was glad to see them go back to school on Monday.
2. (9/16 - 9/18) Trina the tooth fairy had to make a visit 3 nights in a row. Phoebe lost her other front tooth and then Paizlie lost her first bottom tooth the next night. Then her other bottom tooth fell out the night after that. Piper wanted Trina's e-mail address but the fairy computer network is currently down so she's suppose to get back to us when she's got the network up. She did leave an address for when it comes back into service...it's trinathetoothfairy@gmail.com
3. (9/1 - 9/16) The kids were sick with a nasty fever and cough. They all got it one by one. It was wonderful! I thought it was strep but the Dr. said no...(sound familiar Morgan?)
4. (9/18/08) Paizlie had sharing time in her kindergarten class and she brought our pet turtles. She was very excited and the class loved it.
5. (9/5/08) I got into a major argument with the front office of my doctor, Dr. Kakishiba. A mix up with insurance and not letting me speak directly to the doctor didn't go over very well. They wouldn't listen to what I was trying to tell them . They said I couldn't talk to the Dr. myself and so I asked if they ever gave her messages at all. A few days later I got a letter from her stating that she resented that comment and I got fired as her patient. That was fun!
6. (9/24/08) I started to decorate for Halloween. I made giant spider webs in the front of the house. It's fun. I love Halloween.
7. (all month) I'm making fairy wings and am hoping I can sell them with Halloween coming up. It's fun to do and not too terribly hard. I have pictures of all these things that I still need to upload to the computer sooo... maybe tonight I can get some up.
8. (9/26/08) Uncle Jacob and Aunt Monet had their baby boy - 9lb 4oz. YIKES!
