HaLLoWeEn BoTTLeS!

Somewhere around here I took some step by step pictures of how I made these bottles--but I don't know where they are--story of my life! I decided to make some cute Halloween bottles for fun. I have been trying to keep myself busy and relaxed about the upcoming move. (I 'm a little anxious) I went to the DI the other day and found these bottles. They cost me a total of $1.25. I went to a website and was able to print the labels for free!! (I am sorry, but I can't remember what website it was. I just googled 'Halloween Bottle Labels'.) I mod podged the labels on to the bottles and filled them with some floral gems. They were super easy and look adorable next to my candelabra! YAY for crafts!!

Stuff FoR SaLe!!

We are super excited about our move and have lots of things we have decided not to take with us. I find more and more every day. We did a yard sale, but are still in a hurry to de-clutter!! I have put a ton of stuff on KSL so I thought I would link it up here. Incase anyone may be in need of or knows anyone in need of some of this stuff! OUR ADS!

We have lots of toys. A bed, a table, a tv stand, a desk, etc. It all has to go!!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

I had the privilege of going on Addyson's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip last week. Sometimes working at the daycare has stifled the amount of participation I get to have in these types of activities. I convinced my boss (it didn't take much) to let me go this time.  I was super excited!! We had a great time. Addy's preschool class is super cute. I just adore three to four year old!! We did some fun things, too. Took a hayride, pick a pumpkin, play some games, and feed the animals. It was a bonus that I was being paid the entire time, too! I don't normally get paid to hang out with my children. Addyson is turning into a fun little girl--and I am loving the time we get to spend with each other.

These were some of my favorite pictures of the field trip. There are some others on facebook under the Fall 2011 album.

Official!

It's OFFICIALLY our home!!

We move in next weekend and will definitely need some help.

(Expect phone calls, family members, :].)

I am really looking forward to getting in and getting settled. Everyone who has seen the house just adores it and we are super excited that it's ours. Did I mention it has 3.5 bathrooms?! Holy cow!! We are so used to sharing one bathroom between the 6 of us that this is truly a blessing. Not to mention my bathroom has a ginormous tub! (EEEP!) Other exciting features; the completely fenced yard, (So excited to have that!) The beautiful gas fireplace, (Well it will be beautiful after I remodel it a little!!) and the attached garage (never had one of those)!! I am really grateful we were able to find a home that meets our needs and budget. Things will be a little tighter then they have been lately with the increase in our house payment, but I am super excited for this new journey!
