Mr. Potato Head (the pumpkin version)!


Publix Love!!



Publix gave these to the kids one night when we made a late run there. I mean, they've given us the cheap latex balloons with their logo on them, but not the mylar balloons. These lasted for weeks and the kids had a blast playing with them!

Fun in the Kitchen!

I've been having fun cooking. (Shocking, I know!) Anyway, one of the blogs I like to read is Hip2Save.com. She recently started a series about Holiday Challenges. The first week was to make three different breakfast items for the freezer. I made chocolate chip pancakes, pumpkin/chocolate chip muffins, and pumpkin/chocolate chip bread (the last two are different recipes, although very similar). They all turned out quite delicious - as we ate some right away - and saved some in the freezer!



Then, last night with dinner, I tried a new recipe for candied sweet potatoes. This one comes from my husband's aunt. It turned out delicious as well and I plan on making this again both for us and for our Thanksgiving dinner at church!

Another Morse Bag


I made this one for my G'ma! I won the red hat fabric and thought I'd make her a bag with it!

Newest Bee Blocks

Here are the most recent blocks I've made for the two quilting bees I'm in. The first one is for the Vintage Sheet Bee. The second and third are for Bee Improvisational.

My girls!


In their dress-up leotards (thanks Mom!).


And in their leg warmers this morning (since it was a little cool in our house).

Robots


My big boy made these and was quite proud of them! I was quite proud of him too!! He's loving building and has quite an imagination!

Some newly sewed blocks!

I finally got around to finishing my September blocks for the sewing bees I'm in. The first one is for the Vintage Sheet Bee. The other two are for Bee Improvisational.
