Halloweeny!

So for Halloween Laine was Super Why this year even though he heavily debated the idea of being Captain Hook... Since I'm there mother and Amy loves "Princess" I thought I woud try and cordinate their costumes by making her Princess Presto aka Princess Pea off of Super Why. So I tried to add green into her costume by sewing on green ribbon and placing green jewels in her crown and wand, but even with my amazing talents... I'm afraid with out the dark skin and hair she still looked far from her character. Amy loved trick-or-treating though and was trying to snag seconds at every door and Laine was being his usual nervous nelly at first and wouldn't go to any doors, but once he got used to it the night went awesome! Needless to say with Amy taking seconds and going to more doors then Laine when we got home her bucket seemed to be slightly more full... good thing she doesn't know about greediness yet :-)

Spicing Up Life

So I feel like I have a ton of pictures of my kids sleeping and it's usually cause Sunday's Laine get's completely worn out in nursery (they have gym time here) and then he takes himself down to the basement where we read books or turn on a church show and he just plops out :-) As for the fabric you see I've been working on adding a little color into my house so I sewed for pillow covers and made some box shelves which should be going up on the wall in the next day or two, but these are the steps. Also Amy has an obsession with going potty and loves to sit on the potty and pretend she is going. The funny part is whenever I ask her if she's done she reply's "it's coming- it's coming" and then continues to excitedly talk about pee-pee and potty and all that great stuff. She's pretty cute and basically ready for potty training for showing all the interest, but am I? hmmm....
