Spider fruit kabobs

Just wanted to share with you the cute fruit kabobs that i made for boy #1's class party. Anything tastes better on a stick right?! That's what the 2yr old thought anyway. He saw me making them and from then on he wanted all his snacks on a stick:)

Sorry about this first bad photo, i was in a hurry and didn't want to mess with lighting issues.

Banana pop anyone??

Halloween Banner

I have been busy decorating my house this week. I love this time of year and look forward to decorating every year. I came across THIS post from Crafting Chicks and knew i had to make this banner. It was super easy, i made it during nap time with paper i had on hand. I have since added some orange rick rack to the banner, super cute.

I also loved their idea about putting old Halloween pics of the kids up as decorations. I went straight to the dollar store and bought a bunch of frames and started filling them with pictures of past Halloweens. The 2yr old LOVES looking at the pictures and will not leave them in their designated spots, but that's OK, I'm glad he likes looking at them. It's such a cheap and easy way to decorate for the season.

I have also made 3 sets of these Countdown to Candy blocks. They have been so fun to make and the boys love changing them everyday. We started our countdown a little early:) I got the idea to make these from the ladies at How Does She.

 

If you want to make your own Halloween Banner, head on over to The Crafting Chicks to get the "how to." They even have a free printable for the letters, score!!

Hope you all are having fun decorating your "Haunted Houses."

Halloween crafts

I got the creative bug yesterday and made a couple of cute things. One of them was for a friend for her birthday, no not "The Witch is in" sign, that would just be mean.....it's for me! The Hub was a bit scared when he walked in and saw that sign, hey he knew what he was marring in to!

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, not sure why, i just love Halloween and fall decorations. I have many more ideas in my head and i am hoping to get them out of my head and into my house soon.

Easy Canopy

Hey out there! Is anyone still checking my blog? I really don't blame you if your not. This has been one busy/fun summer, we are at the gym and pool almost all the time. I haven't given up on this blog but i have been "taking a break." I just saw the best idea over at dwellingsbydevore blog and had to share it with you. I have been dreaming of redoing our bedroom for a while now and this idea makes me itch even more. I just have to try and convince the hub that our log furniture needs to go to a new home. I have loved it for years but i need a change! Click HERE to see more pictures.

Smore's on a stick

It's no shocker that my family loves Smore's. We make them in the winter in our microwave. We have a Smore microwave maker that looks something like this....

It actually works quite well.

Here are the pictures to prove how yummy they were....

In the spring, summer and early fall we love to roast them outside around the fire pit. This picture is my all time favorite......

Today on Skip to My Lou she featured Smore's on a stick......and i fell in love with the idea! This project looks so fun and it is in the plans for our family this weekend. All you need is some sucker sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers and some melting chocolate and your good to go. Click HERE for complete instructions and a few more pictures.
