Halloween

I love halloween. It has been a busy week, last weekend I did a lot of sewing. Of course I didn't finish too much except for a halloween tablecloth. so cute. I did finish 2 quilt tops I had been working on but still need to put the backs on. We had a trunk or treat at the church on tuesday, we carved pumpkins on thursday and trick or treating tonight. That is all in addition to the normal stuff that goes on. football etc. Melissa went to the roller staking rink with a friend tonight and Andrew passed out the candy. So it was Howard, Russell and Me and since they are younger they don't feel the need to go, go go. We were gone 1/2 hour. Spoiled too. We don't get lots of kids in our neighborhood. (Greg said we got 6) so they usually get alot from our neighbors. Now they are in bed I will raid their buckets. Yum.

My Quilt

I checked on the boys one night last week and Howard had climbed into Russells bed and they were out. Usually I am always reminding them to quit talking. I finally finished the quilt for our bed. Greg bought me the fabric for my birthday last year, so this is a 1 1/2 in the making. I love it now I want to paint the bedroom. Look how cute the boys look, they were good helpers.

My Best Friend

My dear honey told me today I don't have any pictures of him on my blog.--Well if you know Greg he doesn't like his picture taken but since he commented I guess that is free reign. I did have to search pretty hard for these. Look at how little Russell is. Ok the football coaches picture is from last week. Lucky.-- I guess I am lucky, I married an awesome guy who is my best friend and a great dad. love ya babe.

Homecoming

I can never figure out what stuff to post/facebook etc. So usually you get a double dose. And of course I am a little slow. Melissa had homecoming last weekend. But you know when you are going to homecoming there is all the early prep. We went dress shopping a couple of weeks before. And if you know me I don't like to shop - it was a little painful. Where is Aunt Michelle when I need her. But of course I love Melissa so I went. Unfortunately the mall wasn't great. Too short, too low cut, sleeveless. etc. So we had tears at the end of the first day.

:( but we needed to find something, my mother in law suggested TJMaxx.- we attacked and found five dresses that all would have been perfect. She narrowed it down to 2 since they were such great deals--one was 20 the other 30, I bought them both. There will be more dances I'm sure.- Luckily she decided fast since we had all 3 boys with us. She is on student council and helped do the float and decorate so she was very involved this year. Kyle is in our ward and a friend of hers. Ps Mom does the necklace look familiar?
