My Pillow Sham

I know that for most this isn't much to look at, but I'm proud of my self. I here and there try to be crafty and sew things on my own, and this one turned out ok, and I don't think it will fall apart. I finally put Ella in Kaylee's room and got them matching bed spreads (which I also made by buying one duvet cover, picking it apart and making 2 out of it.) So the fabric I used for the pillow shams was from her old duvet cover. It was pretty simple, I just made it up as I went, but none the less I was proud of myself.

The Stool

Ella has figured out that she can get the stool from the bathroom, which is for my kids to use to wash their hands because they can't reach the sink, and take it any where in the house that she thinks it might come in handy. In this case it was to reach the cookie dough out of the bowl because I told her no more. I have many times opened the pantry door and there the stool is sitting on the floor. Which of course means that she was trying to reach some sort of snack when I wasn't paying attention. We are also semi working on trying to get rid of her binki. She is only supposed to have it at nap and bedtime. But that is not ok with her, so there has been many times that she has come walking into the room with her binki in the middle of the day and I always say "Ella, who got you your binki?" And most of the times she says "I did." Because she gets out the stool and gets it down all by her self. I guess maybe the solution to all of this is to put the stool up too? :)

Trick or Treat

This year we got invited to 3 different Halloween parties, so my kids got to dress up quite a bit. Because of this they felt the needed to change what they were going to be almost every time. For Trick or treating, Braxton was a ninja, Kaylee was a cheerleader, Ella was a purple dragon, and Kohen just got carried on the front pack carrier. Also the last 3 years, our good friends, the Fischers, have come to our house and gone trick or treating with us. Her girls were Sleeping Beauty (Alexis), Wonder woman (Brooklyn), and a cute little flower (Olivia). My kids loved having their friends to walk around with. It made it that much more fun and exciting.

For the Halloween Parties that we went to Kohen was a spider, Ella was Minnie Mouse, Kaylee was Jasmin, and Braxton was Spider Man.

Right before we were turning the corner of our street, 3 houses down from ours, Ella got a burst of energy ran to catch up to everyone else. As she went to run she tripped on her little Dragon feet and fell straight on her face in the middle of the street. It was so sad. She cried pretty loud but recovered quickly. These are the scrapes that she got. Her "trick or treat battle wounds." But the candy was all worth it, right?!
