Firepit finale!

Just realized I didn't show the end result for my new firepit! Here ya go!

Time for costumes!

I realize I'm really not good at posting on this little blog.... one day I'll have more time! Until then I'll just update here and there as I can.  :-)
So this week is Halloween! My oldest one is getting closer to not wanting to dress up. So sad for me! Her costume choices the last few years have been mostly store bought ones. My little one on the other hand has made challenging mommy's creativity into an art form the last couple of years! I love it though ~ no complaints here. This one is my horse lover and was in a horse and rider costume contest (in which both rider and horse need costumes) the week before Halloween for her second year in a row now. Of course, this costume choice has got to be completely individual and different from her actual Halloween costume!
Last year both daughters entered together the horse and rider contest together. The three of them went as the Flintstones! So cute!!
A week later the younger one went as a "Barbie in a box"! That costume almost got the best of me!
We've just completed this year's horse and rider contest a couple of days ago ~ first place for my little one! Honey (the horse) and my little one were a movie box of popcorn and a coca cola! Very original idea by my little one, I must say!
Now on to making the next one in preparation for trick or treating ~ a jack-in-the-box! Wish me luck ~~ I think I'll need it!
