Playroom

I have finally posted before and after pictures of the kids playroom. The first 2 pictures are before the crown molding and window treatments. I love how the crown molding looks and I used IKEA fabric to make the window treatments.

Christmas cards are calling

It is that time of year again! I can't believe I am already seeing Santa in the malls! I am trying to get a lot done early this year. I want to enjoy the season with my children instead of at the mall. I love this time of year and also love choosing our family Christmas card! It is so much fun to pick my favorite picture and then look through all the many wonderful card designs to find the perfect one for our family. There is something so special about sending and receiving Christmas cards. Shutterfly has a promotion going on for bloggers to earn 50 free Christmas cards just for blogging about their holiday selection. Shutterfly has more than just cards, another favorite of mine is making a calendar for the grandparents.

I love this card with the black background! The snowflakes and the red banner really pop! My kids picture would look great on this! I already have their picture chosen and ready to go!

I also really like this card. I can put a picture of the kids together along with an individual picture of each of them, as well as our monogram. I heart monograms!!!Have you started your holiday shopping?

Halloween week

We had a busy Halloween week last week. I think it is safe to say that we are Halloweened out. We started the week off with dress rehearsal of the costumes. Spiderman enjoyed jumping in to all kinds of poses with Princess Campbell trying to do the same thing. Wednesday was church, Friday was playgroup and finally Halloween on Sunday! As the week progressed the Princess decided that certain accessories were not necessary! Carter, I mean Spiderman, did actually try to climb the walls and proclaim that his costume was not working! Very funny but that lead to a discussion that we are just playing and we can't actually climb walls or jump off of buildings without getting really hurt! It was a fun week but I am glad it is over. Now to eating all the candy!

Church Trunk-or-Treating, but it rained so they were inside.

A fun week by all!
