Stuff....

Fall Table Runner

 Ben just loves making up new games to play, and this one was a huge hit!  The three guys played for hours, and then the boys played for hours again the next day!   The duplos were the game field and then little lego guys were the playing pieces.  It was a team game so every little lego guy was  working together to beat the little play-dough blobs!   Dice, and rulers, and laughing!

               New living room arrangement for the winter to get furniture away from the radiators.

Awesome paper stars hanging above my sewing table.....   So many possibilities!

Pumpkins

Our 7 little pumpkins! 

Pharaoh

Hunter's costume this year was so much fun to make!  Which is a really good thing considering I made it last night so that he would have something he liked to wear to the school halloween parade today!  The first 3 pictures are after the school and then church parties, and so we forgot to put on his chest piece, but you see it later on in the pictures we took before school.  He didn't have his face painted for school though.  As the bus pulled away from the house this morning he put down his window and called back to me: "Best Costume EVER!!"  That makes it all worth it!

Here's our Halloween Family!

 We seriously have the best landlords EVER!!!!   She came up the other day with these buckets of Halloween treats for all the kids.  She explained that they're the grandchildren she doesn't have!  And that they make it all worth it.  We love her!

 Here's Nathan's science project for school.  He chose to do a volcano!  It turned out so amazing!

 The vase of flowers we made for each of the boys to take to their teachers.  We made the vase out of pencils glued on to an empty tin can.  Tied with a ribbon!
