Let's Remember Halloween from the Past

Halloween Inspiration

This is my inspiration for Aerica's halloween costume this year. I found this mask and Aerica fell in love with it. She wants to dress up like a masquerade ball queen, so I went and got these fabrics to make her a fancy ball gown. I'm not sure what we will call this, "masquerade mayhem"?, I'm open to suggestions. I will post the finished product, watch for it!

Three is not a crowd!

Cy, Maddie and kirstyn were baptized on Saturday, it was really neat to see them all together dressed in white. It was a special day that our family will always remember.

The Exciting New World of Boy Scouts

I have been introduced to Boy Scouts. Having been raised with no brothers, and no experience with boy scouts this is all new to me. Cy just had his first "pack" meeting. The whole family went and we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows around a camp fire, they introduced Cy to the pack and their families and did boy scout cheers. Cy absolutely loved it. He looks forward to his Wednesday scout meetings and this week he had his space derby. He shaped, sanded, and painted a rocket. They take turns racing them on a string, he won all three of his races and got the "lightning" award. This whole scout thing in strange and new to me, but so far, so good. I guess Cy and I will both learn as we go.

School Days Are Here Again!!

So I know school has been in for a month or so, but better late than never right? The kids have adjusted well to their new school here in Mona, they have made some new friends and are doing great. Jessie loves kindergarten, she also "loves" Jackie, let me explain:

Jessie: Mom, I made a new friend, his name is Jackie
Me: Really? That's great
Jessie: Well, his name is really Kelton, but I call him Jackie
Me: Oh, why?
Jessie: Just because, I call him Jackie, and he calls me Dizzy
Me:(raised eyebrows) Uh, ok
Jessie: We are in Love
Me: REALLY? How do you know you are in love?
Jessie: Because he is nice to me, so we just started being in love.
Me: Oh crap, I'm in trouble!





And then there's Cy, I have never actually met another boy named Cy, but believe it or not, there is another Cy in my Cy's class. Right here in little ol' Mona Ut. Spelled the same and everything, yeah I know.
You know what's weirder? They (the two Cy's) are the only two lefty's (lefthanded) kids in his class, seriously what?





And that leaves Aerica, 5th grade and loving it. What else can I say?

It's Finally Fall!

Who Loves Fall? I know I do, and we all know it's a countdown to Halloween for me. I even have a new sewing machine, and I can't wait to start working up some costume fun!What do you think of my new costume idea for this year? Well, kids started school, Cy started scouts and I have lots of new pictures of that coming soon. Until then be thinking Halloween thoughts!
