Fireplace...

So I finally finished the one of the hardest, most annoying projects ever! I may or may not have hit it with a paint brush. This thing has so many cracks and holes it was hard. Anyways onto the pictures!

Here's the before, I think I might have taken this when we were first viewing the house. Love nacho cheese walls:

 During...

 And after!

 Another one!

 And an up close of the craziness that is fake rocks...

So while I think it's better I don't think it's what I want... I have added some twig branches to it and it's styled a little more then it is in these pictures but it's still off. (I've been trying to take a picture of it but this daylight savings thing is messing up the light in my house, maybe tomorrow when I'm off work) My amazing Step Dad had a mantel made for me so I'm hoping that will be just what he needs. I am so excited to decorate a mantel!

Happy Friday!

Wow a post everyday this week! I am rockin it!

This week has been so long! But it's now Friday which mean it is the start of my birthday day weekend!!!

Tomorrow we are having a little get together at our house to include a Baked Potato Bar and homemade Mac N Cheese! Then headed out on the town to dance off that dinner!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Oh and were expecting snow on Sunday (my actual birthday)! One of my favorite things ever!

Wedding Sneak Peak

I realized I never said anything about my BBF Becca's wedding. It was Oct 8th and it went off without a hitch! It was so so much fun! And everything was so beautiful!

Here's a few (very few) pictures I've gotten to see so far. I must say Layla was a perfect flower girl! I was so proud!

I'll do as full post when I have more pictures.

Halloween!

Layla decided she wanted to be Milli from Team Umizoomi months ago! And of course  they do not have Umizoomi costumes anywhere! So I enlisted my Mom to help make a Milli costume!

Here’s the inspiration, the cute pink one:  

And here's how Layla turned out! My Mom made a simple pillow case dress (fabric was $2.14) I found the pink beanie at Wal Mart ($1.50) and a flower stencil and pink craft paint at Hobby Lobby ($1.99 & $.67) (These pic's are from Friday night at her Preschools Fall Fest)

That smile cracks me up!

Hard to tell but her pig tails are thru the hat. I think it turned out great, only problem no one knew who she was. Oh well I guess! She loved it and that's all that matters!

And last night actual Halloween, she decided she wanted to change it up and go as Tinkerbell. We bought her this dress up outfit last year on Black Friday and it just now fits!

Pumpkin Patch!

Again I have been MIA forever! Gees time just goes! A few weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch! Were lucky to live about 10 minutes from 50+ farms that do every veggie or fruit that you can imagine! It’s a lot of fun to go there and have our pick of pumpkin patches!

Anyways on to the pictures!

Nice pumpkin Ben!

Cutie Pie!

Pouty face!

I love these two!

Layla's pumpkin! She drew it and I craved it for her.

Quick Note

When I got home Friday my pretty fall wreath was just a black picture frame... Apparently you can't do this with hot glue in a place that warms up. The sun reheated my hot glue and all my leaves fell off... I'm pretty bummed about it but I might re do it and hang it up later in the year.
