Ghost Lantern

Fun at a Cub Scout campout.  They decorated ghost lanterns instead of carving pumpkins.  Love it!  We put colored glow stick in them on Halloween and they were too cute.

All things Star Wars

Shane got some new art, too.  We had his name made at Legoland in San Diego while we were there this summer.  I finally got it framed and up on the wall.  He picked out the glitter mat b/c he thought it looked like stars.  Love It!

Peace...Love...Pink

This summer, Sarah and I made some new art work for her room.  

 Peace...Love...Pink.

 I found a peace sign similar to the one we made for $34 at a furniture store.  We used square canvases from Hobbby Lobby ($7.99 each) and paint that I already had.  My favorite touches are the Stickles glitter accents and the Sparkle Modge Podge.  So wishing I had more time to do crafty things. 

One last hurrah!

Kids having fun during our last visit to NRH2O for the season.

Oreo's birthday

So, our little cat, Oreo turned one in August.  The kids gave her some wet cat food as a treat.  This picture is blurry of Shane, but it was too funny not to include.  I love how he is trying to make her "smile" and look at the camera. 

She enjoys her new climbing tower and perch.  She scrathes on its post, which is a great alternative to our couch. :)

16 years

In August, we ate at a fancy steakhouse in downtown Fort Worth to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary.  The salad bar had 100 items on it and the waitstaff walked around with all different types of steak, chicken, and pork on long knives.  If you wanted some, they would cut you off a piece and put it on your plate.  The knives looked like the ones in the light fixture in the bottom picture.  Our kids would have loved the novelty of this, but it is too expensive.  We used a Groupon so it was only half-price.  I <3 Groupon!

Snow Cute

 

Here's one from kindergarten.  I <3 snowmen!
