Craft day!

So I needed to get this costume done for Mags! I spent a long time Sunday making the treats for her preschool class, then the braid for her Rapunzel costume, and finally the dress for her Rapunzel costume! It took a long time to finish, but for my first tutu dress, I think it came out alright!

I'll post Halloween pics soon :)

Now is the time for crafting!

Halloween sure is sneaking up on me this year! It's less than a week away and I haven't started mag's costume! So, yesterday we bought all of our supplies at Joann's and I will be working hard on it this weekend! In process and finished pictures to come!

Pirates!

Here are the pics from the pirate party:

Parties!

Mags got to go to her aunt's baby shower with the girls. We ate, played games, and decorated onsies. I'm still waiting to get a picture of the one she decorated because it was hilarious! I made yummy cupcakes and Oreo balls with cupcake toppers to go along with the "rock a bye baby" theme.

Then we just went to B's pirate party! It was so much fun with the kids wearing their pirate outfits, walking the plank, and hitting the piñata. It was finally not a bad day for his party, which made it even better!

Painting pumpkins is more like it

Mags painted mini pumpkins with her grandma and papa and they looked great! So, when she picked out a super bumpy pumpkin at the pumpkin patch, I thought it would be the perfect pumpkin for painting!

Carving pumpkins

This is the first year we decided to carve pumpkins with Mags. She did a skeleton with daddy and a spider with me. They took way too long and she was pretty bored after a while, but the pumpkins turned out nice! I even baked pumpkin seeds and she loved them.

Pumpkin patch(es)

We went to 2 pumpkin patches this month! Mags loved them both :) her friends are always so nice to invite us with them.

First, we went to Konow's in Homer Glen with her friend Ella and she loved the corn bins! There was corn everywhere, including in her underwear!

Then we went to Siegel's in Crest Hill with her friend Mckenna. Of course, they just played on the slides and jumpy house because that what you do at pumpkin farms, right?

When I grow up

Maggie has been telling me this for months, but I'm just sharing this now. We're interested to see what she says next year!
