A Visit with Santa

As you can tell, Isaac was not impressed.

Holly's got Skill

While you might notice that I have really cute kids in this picture (a true statement) that is not the purpose in sending this photo. Please notice what the children are sitting on--

It only took 6 years but Holly finished this gorgeous quilt. Might I point out to all those that may not appreciate this accomplishment-this was a difficult pattern.

Also pictured in this blog is Hannah next to her tree. Yes, all the ornaments are pink and hung with pink ribbon. There are also pink candy canes. It would have had pink lights, but we couldn't find those. The things we do so we don't have to buy a PINK TREE.

Hannah Loves Home Depot

Last January, Hannah and I started getting some Daddy-Daughter time by going to Home Depot the first weekend of each month. They put on a Kid's Work Shop from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Lowe's also does this once or twice a month from 10-11 a.m., but not on the same day each month.) Hannah has her own apron and gets a new pin and certificate every time we complete a project. We made it to the workshop seven times this past year; check out all that bling on her apron. Some of her favorite projects include a Mother's Day bouqet and vase, and the yellow stool (pictured) she uses to reach the tabletop. This month we made an easel, conveniently hidden beneath her certificate. Hannah is obviously the cutest kid in town, regularly getting the most attention from our Home Depot Helper, Monica.

CRAWL!
This has been a big month for Isaac. Two teeth and becoming mobile. Can any of you say you grew two teeth this month? I thought not.

Costume Contest

Our family went to a Halloween party on the Coast Guard Base. We got there too late for the costume contest, but we are positive Cinderella and her mouse would have won first. Thank goodness for sewing skills. Isaac's mouse costume had to be altered many times. The original pattern had monkey arms and a hood so big you could fit two heads inside. I think it turned out way cute. But, then you could probably stick him in anything and he'd look adorable.
Happy Halloween!

Halloween around the corner

Hannah decided to be Cinderella-Fairy this year for Halloween. Which mean that Isaac will have to be a mouse--probably Jack. So I finished this Friday and Hannah most likely will wear it to thread before we get to go trick or treating. She wants to wear it all the time.

Please ignore the thing about Holly dressing up as TinkerBell. I will do no such thing.

Halloween 2006.



September 2008.

I think its time to make Hannah a new fairy costume.
