Freezer paper stencil

For those who wondered about how to freezer paper stencil, here you go. This is a tutorial from MADE. She's got a great blog with tons of cute ideas and tutorials.

And here's another tute from LLB that has a freezer paper stencil plus more.

Thanksgiving 2: The Turkey hunt

At Matthew's brother's house, they do a turkey and buffalo hunt each year before the Thanksgiving feast.

The kids colored turkeys and buffalo and put them on popsicle sticks and Uncle Mike puts them out in the yard. Uncle Mike also made these cool PVC pipe mini marshmallow blow guns. Then each kid gets a gun and a little baggie of mini marshmallows and then the hunt begins. I think the adults have more fun than the kids. We ended up chasing each other and shooting marshmallows at each other.

Good fun!

I should have taken more pics, but I was having too much fun playing!

Thanksgiving 1

The kids' table.

The grown ups' table.

The turkey.

The deviled eggs...and that guy eying them.

We went to Nebraska to Matthew's brother's home! It was a good time!

The food was great and the company even better! I love family!

fall skirts, for winter

A couple weeks ago I made these skirts. They were supposed to be for fall, but I guess winter will do. Aleah is also wearing a really cute shirt that has a bird that matches her skirt. I did a freezer paper stencil from the bird on her skirt. Sorry no pics. Neither one of them were in the mood for pics....are they ever?!
Regardless, they're still cute girlies!

Wicked!

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we went on a HOT date! We went to Wicked with our friends. It was a good company and a good time! The Wizard of Oz is so much better now! I love when we get to do things like that! If you get a chance, you gotta see it!

Girl's day

We had some fun times last Friday! We had a girls' day. We went to a movie, Planet 51, walked around the mall and then went to Jumpin' Joes Family fun Center.

Aleah liked the movie, Nani is still a little young to fully enjoy those. It was a good thing we got candy in popcorn!

And then the girls humored mommy and walked around the mall until Jumpin' Joes opened. They did a great job too!

And Jumpin' Joes, well, it's ghetto! It's one of those places that is waiting for the last light bulb to burn out and then they'll shut down. Regardless, the girls had fun. For about 2 hours they climbed around the mesh jungle gym that has slides and a ball pit.

It was a good day! I love my babies!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not that creative

I have to say, all these projects/ideas are not my own. I don't want to take credit for these. I'm just a copycat. While I'm looking at blogs, if I see something I like or want to do, I bookmark it. I always feel like I'm the last to see these cool ideas because I see them on more than one of blog. So there you have it, the confession. Ha!
