Bleeding Bats

Well so much for my attempt to put up fun decorations for Halloween. These poor bats were a sorry sight after the rain storms we had. I guess I need to use more quality materials then just plain construction paper next time. Thank goodness for all purpose cleaners with bleach and magic sponge erasers!!

Clay said it looked like they were bleeding but only black blood instead of red. After I took them down and scrubbed all the "Black Blood" Clayton told me our garage doors aren't so cool anymore, he wanted to make more bleeding bats!!

NO NO HAYDEN!!

I really have to keep an eye on Mr. Hayden!! The boys and I had just came home from grocery shopping. While I was putting away food, Clay and Hayden sat down to watch the end of a Sponge Bob show and I noticed Hayden had disappeared somewhere. Not too alarming I mean he is mobile and very capable but when there is no noise during the disappearance something seemed amiss. I asked Clay "Can you go see what Hayden is up too?"


"Yeah I think he went to go get his bear"


"OK go see" Feeling like the situation is taken care of because Hayden usually sticks to a task very admittedly so if he just went to get his bear he will be down in a minute I thought until....


"MOM, Hayden is in your MAKEUP"


This is what I hear from a wide-eyed running Clayton. My next thought...Oh Crap, what's it going to be mascara, eyeshadow, eye liner, combinations of them all oh man I hope it just all over him...



"HAYDEN WHERE ARE YOU!"


Well it appears he is capable of opening a SLIDE container of sparkling lip gloss!! Those things are hard even for me to open right and here he is dousing himself, the wall, and his entire dresser in sparkles!!!
the horror!!! I love this product!!!

At least he made himself a little table out of his step so no sparkles are on my carpet!! WHEW!!
After three complete scrubbing session of Hayden in the bathtub he still came out with Glowing cheeks" Man he is my wild one, but through out the whole thing the hardest part was keeping my smile away from him so he wouldn't think he did something funny! He was definitely told he did a NO NO!!

From ehh to YEAH!!

I love how my new curtains turned out!! Thanks to my awesome find of $1.00 a yard for the home decor fabric I found at Walmart and my go to person about sewing Anna Marks they turned out great!! The trim was the most costly out of the whole thing but I still used a 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby to get just what I wanted. Now my cabinets don't look like they are floating in midair, the curtains connected them nicely!!

The colors match perfectly to my family room couches!! I still can't get over that the fabric was only $1.00 yard!!!!!

Thanks Anna for all your help!!! My "Is this how you do it ?" questions can always be answered by you!!

FALL FUN!!

The boys and I took a trip to DIDIER FARMS. I love everything about fall so going to a place filled with pumpkins, baby animals, Carmel apples, Halloween and Harvest Decor with donuts and apple cider is right up my alley!! The boys had tons of fun going up and down the rows of pumpkins picking out their own. Hayden came up to me struggling to carry a medium sized pumpkin and says "Mom, this is perfect pumpkin, right here perfect pumpkin" I love how little kids talk it just has its own form of cuteness to it!!

"Whoa big huge Pumpkins mom!!" Big Huge is a funny saying that Clayton gets from me. I guess it is my own way of trying to get the point across that something IS REALLY BIG!! I tend to get teased about the expression from family members!! ha ha ha

So much fun things to do even with me saying no to the kid carnival rides and pony rides that are outrageously priced. I think Clayton and Hayden both know where to go for horse rides and that's at Grandpa Ron's house!!

Highlights of DIDER FARMS were the new piglets born Sept 28 and baby chicks and a Pumpkin carver that the boys could watch make crazy faces!!

Nice serious pose boys!!
