Happy Halloween!!!

So Halloween has arrived again! This is actually all of my childrens 1st Halloween due to the fact that my twins got out of the NICU on Halloween the first year and on the second year they were very sick. Well we made it this year!! Little Miss Mykayla, The Crazy Twins, and Me and My Husband loaded up and headed over to my sister Chencha and her husband Brians home for some good old trick-or-treating. The twins took a power nap before we got their since they had to store up lots of energy for their adventure that was about to come.

Miss Mykayla became a fairy of some sort, sorry, she was supposed to be a ladybug but then I remembered that a ladybug is RED with black dots, not the other way around and it was already 4pm and I needed to get ready to go so she BECAME a fairy. Isn't that great? She became something else just like that! Sounds just like her on any given day! One second she's laughing and smiling and then the next thing you know she's pulling a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde on us! LOL. Love her so much still.

The twins were Thing 1 & Thing 2 still and loving it!

My lovely niece Kinsley was a Tulip Fairy and oh so cute! My sister added all the ribbons to make her costume look just perfect! Isn't it wonderful?!

We attempted the photo of all the kids together but none of us could get them to either sit still or all look at the camera long enough for any one of the FOUR people taking pictures to get ONE!

We finally gave up on the "all together now" picture when Miss LaLa decided she was done and promptly flew forward off the step. Luckily I caught her and still managed to get a picture of it too! LOL!

We all piled them into the wagons and then it was off to Trick-or-Treating!

I was kind of afraid that the twins wouldn't take to well to it and get scared of the other kids, especially my little brother who decided to dress up as Frankenstein, but Tristan ran to him and wanted HIM to take him door to door! They were running from door to door and couldn't wait to get the candy! They even left their wigs on the whole time! They surprise me daily!

Little Miss Kinsley couldn't wait to get into her bucket as you can see here. Chencha and Brian had to take a packet of pretzels that she was trying to tear open out of her mouth!!

When all was said and done we had an awesome night. I couldn't have asked for a better Halloween. The boys got a bath and fell fast asleep on the car ride home...

I wonder what I'll make them to be next year.... :)

Market Night Update!!!

Well I had my first night with the booth and it was a blast! It was a slow night because of the rain the prior day but we still turned out winners!!! I was so excited to see my booth all set up and all my hard work finally coming together. Ya'll have no idea how exhausted I have made myself trying to do all this and keep up with the kids. Thankfully my husband was there to help. He cleaned and took care of the kids and never complained while I worked like a busy bee sewing and glueing it all together for my big day. He was so proud of me! How do I know you ask? Because he told me so!!!

Our proudest moment of the evening though goes to our crazy and wild twins, Tristan and Avery, for winning the.... Costume Contest!!! Those little boys won $100!!!! We are so proud of our little munchkins! Everyone loved, loved their costume! As soon as I put on their wigs people were stopping to look and smiling and laughing and saying just how cute they were. I couldn't have been more proud of them or myself. All my crafts took a backburner to this my friends! I love making crafts and seeing just what my little mind can come up with, but these little guys took precedence over it ALL! Trust me I have to force myself some nights to turn it off since I have too many ideas running through my mind to count. I've already got so many more things I want to make to add to my line! You'll just have to wait and see! But, back to my twins! I had such a feeling of joy when everyone commented on their costumes and how wonderful they looked. And to just stand their and watch them have a blast in it and not even know they were the center of attention was awe inspiring. Makes me miss being a kid and having no worries to speak of. Just look how carefree they are!

Thanks to all who showed up to show their support, can't wait to do it again this Friday!!

Burp Cloths by LaLa Petites!

I'm so excited to be making these ribbon burp cloths! Aren't they so cute?! I just up and decided one day that I need to share the wealth of my designs and that is where LaLa Petites came from. My lovely most beautiful daughter is named Mykayla, as you all know, and her crazy brothers could only say LaLa instead of her name. So, that is how I got the name La La Petites, because she is so small! I'm a genius... okay, not really, I had the help my my husband, sister, and mother. But I must say so my self that it turned out pretty swell!

Thing 1 & Thing 2 Birthday!

Thing 1 & Thing 2
Have Invited You
To Help Them Celebrate
As They Turn Two!

So... It took me awhile to collect all the pictures but on the 10th of October my husband and I threw the twins a Thing 1 and Thing 2 themed birthday. Of course I always pick themes that there is nothing to find for in the stores or online so all that you see came from my head.

I love the way the invitations turned out! They took me a bit to get but once I got the hang of it it was smooth sailing from there... yeah right!

I decided to have a candy buffet/bar and am so glad I did! We had gumballs, m&m's, paper dots, and I made marshmallow pops too. I must say that I'm quite proud of how well it turned out!!!

We ordered the cake from Frosted Bakery http://www.frostedbakeryonline.com/ and it tasted so good! The fish bowl was made out of rice krispies and the inside of the cake was blue and red!! Yummy!!! Everybody loved, loved, loved the way the cake looked and tasted. So did I! YUMMY!

They also made two "smashbox" cakes for the boys.

We also got them a big ball pit with so many balls!! It was such a hit!

Even the adults loved the train! Hey, we're all kids at heart right?!

I made all the Thank You buckets too and am so glad that I made a few extra because I almost ran out!

I'm beyond thrilled the way it all turned out! When it was all over I so passed out on the couch! LOL! Here are a few more pictures from the party! Many thanks to all who came!! Check out my mothers blog http://boneheadstudio.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-would-you-do.html she did an awesome rhyme to go with her set of pictures from the birthday! Hope you enjoy!

Mod Podge Blocks!

I found this really easy DIY Baby Wooden Blocks on the Martha Stewart website http://www.marthastewart.com/article/baby-wooden-blocks and decided to give it a try myself for my Mykayla. It was very easy to do and I used a glue called Mod Podge. It is awesome and works for everything! I just cut out the letters of her name and then her birthday along with some stars, flowers, and moons. I think I will try my twins names next!
