ummmmmm.

Sometimes there are no words to explain......

Star Athletes

Baseball is offically over! I think the whole family was ready for it end. Braden had games 3 nights a week and Ashlyn had a practice one night a week and a game on Saturdays. That's a lot of baseball.

Braden got his trophy at a team pizza party Thursday night and then Ashlyn got her's Saturday a league picnic. They both are very proud of their trophies and I'm very proud of them for playing.

More Halloween

This year Ashlyn decided very early that she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of oz. We bought her costume early in September at Wal-Mart.

Braden took a little longer to decide. He briefly wanted to be a zombie, a vampire, and a few other things. Finally I convinced him to be a mummy but in true Braden style he had to put a twist on it. So he asked for a pharoh hat to go with it.

The mummy part was easy- an old tee shirt and shorts, an off white bed sheet, and big bottle of tacky glue! The hat took me a little longer to figure out and I didn't actually make it until the night before but it must have turned out ok because Braden was happy with it. I just cut up a stretchy blue shirt and glued it onto a piece of cardboard and added some gold glitter.

All in all Braden's costume took me about $6 and 10 hours to make. Ten hours to make and he wore it for a wopping 3 hours. Oh well, he looked cute.

Halloween time

Braden was able to dress up at school this year BUT they had to dress as a favorite storybook character. Braden wanted to be Peter pan but the costume i made looked a little more like a Robin Hood so we went with that.

Ashlyn didn't get to go to school on Halloween because we were fighting head lice. She missed out on her first school party and she was really cute in her Dorthy costume.

Puppy Party

Once i had a little puppy and now we have a huge 80 pound dog. Ariel turned one year old November 3. She's a good dog. If we could just convince her that she's not a lap dog, life would be good.
