Halloween

Today is Halloween and every year the Aunties (my sis, Erica and I) get the kids costumes. This year I made Colin's costume, he wanted to be a skeleton. It was really fun and easy to make. I downloaded a pattern from the internet, cut it out and pinned it to a black sweat suit I bought at Walmart. Then I stitched it on to white felt with the sewing machine. Erica had to hand stitch the small bones near the cuffs b/c I couldn't get to those with the machine.


The leg bones were a little low b/c Colin is so slim that the sweat suit was to big around the waist and it hung to low. (He still looked adorable!!)

A Birthday

Last Saturday was mom's birthday, so we had a nice dinner and some cake. It was our first celebration in our new home.

Our Move

Well the big move is over. It was hellish to say the least. We are just beginning to get over the trauma of it all. I still have a few boxes to unpack and I haven't been to the storage unit yet to see it. Im a little afraid to see how it is all packed in. Im missing one box and hoping that it's at the unit. Hopefully next week I'll get up enough courage to go and find it.

Today was very tiring but good. We got a ton of stuff done. My scrap room is 95% packed, Gary the junk guy carted a couple of loads of junk away, I sold the pet carrier on Craig's list and Chris lifted some very heavy stuff for us. Also a friend came and took some of the preschool items. Im glad they are going to someone we know. Im still feeling very overwhelmed and nervous but things are really moving along as they should. I know that in a couple of weeks we will be settled for the most part and feeling better about the move. After all we haven't moved in 15 years and we had considerably less stuff!! It was a good day.

This is too cute!!
