Creating memories with Nana

Nana Lott is always good at doing special things with the kids. So they made Halloween candy. It was so fun and the kids had a blast. Sophie had to have everything that Ethan had and copied him to a tee!! We love these specail moments with Nana.....thank you!!

Please ignore Ethan's eyebrows...he had on Halloween make-up the night before and wouldn't let me take the black make-up off his eyebrows!! Gotta love the independence!! Oh and doesn't Sophie have the sweetest face in this picture?? I love it!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins and more Pumpkins!

We had a great weekend. After a few days in the mountains with Jason and some friends, we came home and took the kids to the pumpkin patch. Well, our version of a pumpkin patch. A local church sells pumpkins to raise money for their church group, so we go every year to support them. I love this time of year!! Ethan decided that he would paint his and then we displayed them in the front yard.

We are planning for Ethan's 4th birthday at the end of November. Its going to be a bowling party, which I am excited about because this will be the first year that I really don't have to do anything but write a check and and get a cake. I super pumped about that.

okay...I am offically obsessed!

I am loving making this bag....it has taken over my life!! I love having this "ME" time!! This is one of my fav fabrics....my mom has already laid claim to it. I will be pumping more out this week!!

Be sure to look for them soon at the Ace Hardware in Statesville!!

We also had a great time at my nephews Spook Trail this past weekend. Ben is 10 years old and along with his buddy, Conner, they cleared out a trail in Ben's backyard a created this awesome Spook Trail. They took money as well as donations to the Clemmons Food Pantry. They collected over $100 and about 10 bucketfuls of canned food. We are so proud of those 2!!

I fininished the bag!!

I have actually made 2 now and they are absolutely adorable. I hope that you all like them. I just ordered another bigger bag pattern so i am ready for that to come in and get started on that. Oh and I picked up some beads to make another necklace today....will post pictures later!

We went to the State/Duke game last weekend and we had a great time tailgating but the game was awful.....We lost to Duke. Terrible! Ethan also had his first tailgating adventure with Papa and ben and Jay. They went to the Wake/Maryland game and Wake won....woo-hoo!! They made it to half time, which I think is pretty good.
