we absolutely love halloween, and can't resist family costume coordinating.  it's completely ridiculous but makes for silly memories! 



                                       iris was sick and tired of photos.  on to trick or treating....


                               my fingers look like jazzy sausages!  i giggled when i saw this!
                i think patrick's clown character looks like something from a cheesy telemundo show, i love him.

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine......


this party was so much fun to plan. i could not have done it without my sis and our friend lisa!
i borrowed a lot, ash made a lot, and i made some.

homemade play dough as party favors











e had the time of his life sneaking sweets all night! yes, he might have been a bit hyper.











she destroyed the entire cake

Monday, July 25, 2011

patrick surprised elijah with a new lightning mcqueen water pail and a cute little flower kit, needless to say he was excited.





this was over a week ago and no signs of any growth yet, you don't think our clearance aisle seeds were bad do ya?

major progress

i haven't been blogging because patrick and i have seriously been working day and night on the house, things are really moving along. here's an update on the kitchen/ living/ dining area.


both of these walls are out now, they separated the kitchen and dining room from the living room


we took down a major support wall, so we decided to support it with a steal beam for a more interesting modern/ industrial look. we now have new primed drywall and recessed lighting.


now it's completely open. patrick is currently working on getting all of the floors in and i am painting my heart out.


the space in the back will soon be a bright white kitchen
