Vanity for Audrey and Spooktacular!

Sunday afternoon was so fun! It's Audrey's birthday next Sunday but daddy and I decided to give her the vanity we got for her room a bit early. We were going to get her a smaller one, but we didn't want her outgrowing it too soon. She really loves it and it looks great in her room!


Sunday night after an early dinner we helped the kids get in their costumes (dad found a cheap bumblebee outfit and we had the strawberry costume already- they have new costumes to wear on Halloween nite) and headed off to the zoo for their spooktacular! How fun! I've lived here for years and have never been! It was so fun for the kids- not scary, jumping houses, candy, music, animals, jack-o-lanters, etc! Didn't tote the camera around as I'm not too good at taking photos in the dark (plus I wanted to make sure I kept up with those two in the dark!).





Kitchen update- I took all the cabinet doors off today as well as the drawers out of the kitchen, sanded them all and put on the first coat of white paint... the top drawers, etc are all done and put back up. I'm pleased with how it looks... especially since it's my first project like this ever! I'll share pictures when it's done!

Hope you're having a great week. Just a few random creations to share:

Pumpkin Patch time!

What a fun Saturday we had last weekend! It was cool out. Our entire playgroup got together... even AnnaMaria and her kids came from out of town! The kids wore their Halloween costumes and we picked out some fabulous pumpkins... then, off to Chik-fil-a for lunch. We even got together again that night at the park for a picnic and more playtime! It was a fabulously fun day! Here are some photos!
