School Fun!

This week was spirit week for Cooper at school.  They are still pretty strict about wearing uniforms (most of the spirit days were simple like crazy sock day or sunglasses day while they had to still wear their uniforms), but on a few days they let them ditch the uniforms and dress up. They also had pajama day but I forgot to get a pic.

Camo day. 

Book character dress up parade.

He choose The Berenstain Bears and the Missing Dinosaur Bone.  He dressed up to look like the bear detectives with their hound dog, Snuff.  He had a detective hat, a detective  kit, a magnifying glass to spot all the clues and a trusty hound dog to sniff  for clues like in the book. The toy dog pulled behind him was his idea. I thought it turned out so cute!

Random pic of Carter after the parade at Cooper's school. He wanted the puppy and him to get in on the pics also!

Pumpkin Carving

Monday for FHE we carved a pumpkin. Blaine always draws the face and carves it while the boys get to  scoop out  the "guts". This year  Cooper was totally disgusted by the pumpkin guts, but Carter loved it. Carter would reach his hands in and scoop it out all ooey and gooey but Cooper preferred the cleaner method of using a spoon and would have rathered not to get his hands icky! Blaine's mom came  down for a few days so we had a special visitor to help out with the pumpkin.  It was alot of fun to have her  around to chat with and the boys loved spending time with their Grandma! Thanks, Sue for coming for a wonderful visit. I just hope we didn't wear you out to much! :)

Daddy concentrating on drawing the pumpkin  face.

Can you see how totally disgusted  Cooper is by the slimy seeds.

What are you going to find Carter?

Pumpkin "Guts"!

Finished Product!! Carter was trying to make the same face as the pumpkin.

It's been awhile.....

I know, I know. I have been neglecting my blogger duties! :) I have just  been super busy lately, with   embroidery orders and Halloween things for my boys(their costumes are almost finished and I think they turned out fabulous!). Plus my camera is still not back from the repair shop (within the next week hopefully) so I have been using a cheapo camera that dosen't take the best pics. Anyway with Halloween approaching I  just had to post some pics of the boys even if they aren't the greatest  quality. I serioulsy love this time of the year and we  have been  blessed with fabulous weather to make it just perfect.

They were excited to finally get to wear their Halloween shirts I made them! I hand appliqued Carter's shirt on  a regular sewing machine because I couldn't  find a machine embroidery applique like Carter wanted, never again, it was so much work. I think I  am spoiled with my embroidery machine to  do most of the work for me! :)

To decorate the front porch for Halloween the boys dressed up in their super hero cape and bateman cape.  They were so cute and were having a blast hanging  fake spider web from the porch.

Carter is so excited for Halloween this year! He keeps telling me over and over he wants to be a ghost for Halloween ,so of course I had to make him a ghost shirt to wear! He wore it to story time at the library and kept showing all the kids his cool ghost shirt.
