Hi There!
We're sorry it's been some time since our last post. We've had a lot going on, but we have committed ourselves to keeping up on our blog as often as possible.
We absolutely LOVE the holidays! We love the smell of autumn spices, weekend football games, and getting together with family over good food. This week, we had our two nieces over for the day, and had a lot of fun activities planned. Let me start off by saying that Michael's is the best store for the seasons. The store is filled with so many great ideas for home decor, but also has a lot of neat things the kids can get involved with. Alright, so we picked up some halloween masks- an owl & a pirate- along with paint & brushes. In the pics above, they hold up their finished products. We also made these fantastic spider cupcakes. We took chocolate cupcakes, topped them with fudge frosting; then, added chocolate sprinkles for the "hair" and orange candy gel for the eyes. We finalized them with black licorice for the legs. The girls had an absolute blast! Many times, I caught them taking the sticks of licorice and scooping out fudge from the jar. I hope my sister-in-law forgives me for all the sugar they had yesterday :)
This weekend, we are going to a pumpkin patch with the family. We are bundling up in our sweatshirts and picking out pumpkins, and may be going on a hay ride as well!
To any birth moms reading our blog, we love you and hope you are enjoying this time of year as well.
