Halloween Totes

I have been meaning to make Halloween Totes for my kids for the past 3 years or so. I even have fabric that I bought 3 years ago to make them with, but I just never got around to it. Until this year!!! I saw this post on my friends blog and decided to get the totes made. I think they turned out really cute and am glad to have them crossed off my to-do list!! The tutorial was great and super easy.

The post for the tutorial that I used can be found here. I did make some changes (I made mine bigger), so if you want to know what changes I made, email me and I will tell you the details.


This bag is for Katelyn.


And this bag is for Jacob.

Signing Time

Maya's new favorite show is a DVD called "Signing Time"(it teaches kids American Sign Language) and she asks to watch it everyday. It is the only show she will actually sit down and watch, all the way through. The funny thing is that she will only watch it laying on the pillow on the floor, about 3 feet from the TV. It makes my neck hurt to watch her, because she is so close she has to look almost straight up to see the TV. But everytime she watches Signing Time she always has to lay like this. It cracks me up everytime. And she is so cute because she does the signing along with the show.

Mmmm Good

David decided to make apple pie for dessert today. I love fall and apple pie. I especially love the way it makes the house smell when it is cooking. My mouth just waters thinking about it. We invited some neighbors over to share the pie with us. David makes a great apple pie. And he made 2 pies, since I like my pie with Golden Delicious apples and he like his pie with Granny Smith apples. I am glad I married such a great cook!!
