What I've been up to in my absence.....

Sorry for the long absence from blogland! Here is a bit of what we have been up to the past few weeks!

Here is Eli as a quickly thrown together cowboy for Halloween. He kept throwing his arm up and yelling "Yeehaa!"
My little angel all dressed up for the scary day.

There has been great interest in bottle feeding her babies...wonder how she knows, she never would take a bottle!
Lots and lots of coloring!

Going to our friend Gavin's first birthday party. This kid put away cake like I've never seen before!
Lots of pigtails and her new squeaky shoes.

I've started to decorate for Christmas! I've been so eager this year - I think it is because we will be gone for ten days in December. I feel the need to jumpstart so I have more time to enjoy it all!

Our first ever fake Christmas tree that I put up the other day. I swear I'm not going to actually decorate it until after Thanksgiving though!
Been busy knitting my first ever sweaters for the kids! Taking a fun class to learn how to do it!
I received all of these sweet and creative gifts in the mail from the Scrappy Swap over at Domestic Bliss! Thanks ladies, I love them all!
Starting to put stuff aside for our trip to Maui in two weeks!

Buying my kiddos and my niece and nephew Christmas presents! See the big doll box for Addison? My kids already broke into it!
Ugh. Trying to use this horrible stuff so I won't scare people with my whiteness in Maui.
And finally getting my Scrappy swap gifts ready to mail! Sorry they are the last ones ladies!

Glad you guys made it to his birthday party. Your kiddos are cute as always and What I could see your crafts before they were finished were very cute and worth waiting for.

The Little Garden Cafe is across the street from Audubon Park on Northwest Boulevard. You should check it out sometime. If you enjoy coffee, you would love this place! It has a children's play room.

I forgot to check my mail yesterday so when I ran out to pick it up this morning I was excited to see the package from you waiting for me!
The flour sack towel is super cute and for not having "any sewing skills" I'd say it turned out REALLY well! The flowers are cute and honestly, I love it! It'll be put to good use ;)

Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun with this project!!
