So I saw the adorable tinkerbell costume idea/tutorial on Ashley's Make It and Love It blog and decided that Bekah should be a fairy for Halloween. Thankfully she went along with it, fabric was cheap, and the flu slowed our pace down a notch so I had time to make it...I call her my
hobo fairy because of the wonderful homemade nature of it all.

My favorite part was actually painting her face...I've realized I could set up a little booth painting faces for hours and I would be in hog heaven. Bring me your face. I'll turn it into a work of art. Sort of.
And here's a fun pic of Jacob...(that black dot on his face is one of Bekah's sticker earrings)

This kid knows how to entertain himself. Give him a couple of cars and he will drive them and give them names and play house with them and kill them and they'll come back to life and have babies and...oh wait, that's actually his imaginary
baby lions I'm talking about...So it shouldn't surprise anyone at all that he knows how to make his fingers into airplanes (two different types, really...this version is just more fun to share than the other one). Gotta love my Jakey.
And now I'm off to turn this blog into a book. On Blurb.com. It slurps your whole blog into a book, and then you can go through and edit the format, if you'd like. I have two years worth, which with my addiction amounts to almost 200 pages. I can't wait to have it done, hardbound and all...I think it will be an awesome family history, at least through my eyes, with my slant on things.
Gotta go...BEau is trying to take over the world, one keyboard at a time..AHHHH!

Well Keri I have been meaning to send you a thank you card for the last month and haven't gotten around to it yet, I am sorry. I just want you to know how much your little package ment to me. I have a little box that I have all Aubrey's keepsakes in and your beanie is now in there with it, along with your card. Its so cute! I really really appreciated your thoughtfulness and your kind words. It was a huge surprise in the mail and defenently made my day. You are a wonderful example to me. You defenently need to add a handful of warm fuzzies to your jar b/c of the kind jester you made our way. Thank you so much!
How cute! I am glad that you are trying out the blog book. I love the way my first book turned out and I am working on my second. And I totally agree with the last comment - you are super talented: there is a super cute girl sporting a super cut hat on our blog ;)
