Who does this look like?

Just chill'n watching some ESPN.

Like Father, Like Son!

Griffin on, I mean IN the Pot!

Crazy kid pulled this pot out of the cupboard---started out just banging on it---then he decided he'd sit in it. Silly boy!

Messy Little Man

Tonight Jason played some basketball (praying his ankles hold up!)---I did owe him some serious free time! Griff & I spent some quality time together. Ravioli got a little messy. Nothing that a nice warm bath can't fix!

Little man is 14mo. already! Can you believe that? Time flies when you're having fun. Time for another????? Nah, we'll keep enjoying this one.

Fabric can make anything better!

I needed something to put with my favorite new piece of furniture. I love this chair that I got from overstock.com, but I was struggling with what to put in the corner with it. I found this fabric at HobbyLobby and thought it would look great in my room. I already had the little table (metal patio furniture we inherited from our Washingon house). I figured the pretty fabric could hide the ugly table. It is the perfect size. I added the lamp and some pretty pictures of my munchkin. TaaDaa--cheap & easy!

Busy Weekend

This is our "Thankful" tree. Jason's contribution was that he is thankful for the Hawkeyes. I'm not sure he would have felt the same if they hadn't won yesterday.

My pilgrims (thanks Mom)

Made good use of the Halloween pumpkins

So, this weekend was full of projects---some mine, some my friends. Saturday I helped my friend Amy get her store ready for the open house Friday night. Setting up all the Christmas decorations really got me in the mood for Christmas.....but I HAVE to wait until after Thanksgiving. I think Thanksgiving gets the shaft as far as decorating is concerned. Has everyone forgotten that there is a holiday in between Halloween and Christmas? I've attached some of the easy & quick projects I worked on this weekend. I'm very THANKFUL for HobbyLobby--they've got it all.

Jason was wonderful this weekend...he got in a lot of quality time with Griff while I was busy working. Thanks honey!

Trick Or Treat

Griffin didn't do too much Trick or Treating Friday night---we stayed at home and passed out candy. Griffin loved greeting everyone at the door and seeing the costumes. We did learn that he LOVES mini M&Ms. Griffin has such a sweet tooth---just like Mom.

I LOVE TRACTORS!

Griffin loves tractors just like Grandpa.

Brunch with Grandma & Grandpa E.

We met Grandma & Grandpa E., Krista & Chris for brunch in Des Moines today. Griffin was very happy to see Grandma & Grandpa. Thanks for the new train & puzzle!!
