Happy Halloween

I made these cute treats for Carter's teachers. I bought little boxes of chocolate and covered them with Halloween papers by Making Memories. Enjoy!

A few creations...

I forgot to show these from last month...some Design work I did for A Page In Time!

First of all a cute little birthday banner using Fancy Pants papers.

 and secondly, some cheery Halloween cards made with Echo Park paper.

Busy Saturday!

Daddy was still feeling sick today, so the entertainment was up to Mommy today. We started off the day at the San Bruno Prudential Pumpkin Patch. Carter had a fun time and came home loaded down with a huge pumpkin, candy, popcorn, and a donut. Can we say sugar high?! Here he is in their pumpkin patch.

 Then we headed over to John Muir School for their annual Halloween carnival. Time to burn off the sugar!

 He made a really cute pumpkin that looked like a cat - soooo proud of it!

 We played some games, and Carter did the cake-walk twice...and won both times! We came home with a lot of yummy cupcakes! Then we headed home to enjoy a rainy afternoon at home.

About 6pm (before dinner!) this is Carter...

 Didn't even wake up when we tried to rouse him...

 The red spot on his cheek is from lying ever so comfortably on a toy motorcycle!

Steve and I had dinner, cleaned up...and now it's coming up on 7:30. He's still asleep on the couch!

Preschool Halloween Social

Friday night was Carter's preschool Halloween Ice Cream Social. Carter was super excited to go, and counted down the minutes all day long! Daddy was not feeling well, so Mommy and Carter had a date night! Here we are, ready to GO!

 Carter greeting a few friends...and comparing costumes.

 The "Ham" face - he was so proud to find a GREEN pumpkin

 The somewhat nicer pose!

 Carter and Brooke still going strong! They look sooo much bigger since last year!

 Doing crafts with Ema and Vivianna

 Mmm...ice cream!

 Writing his name on his craft

 playing with Brooke's little sister, Jade. He was really making her giggle.

 Carter and his friend Sean

It was a really fun night!

Carterism...

Sunday morning I asked Carter what he wanted for breakfast. He is currently OBSESSED with bacon...so of course he said:

"BACON!"
Me: Sorry, Carter - we don't have any bacon.
Carter: Umm, okay, I'll have a ham sandwich then.

I have no idea where that came from since I don't think he's ever had a ham sandwich. However, I guess it can be said - the kid loves pork products. (Unlike his mom...who will eat bacon, but that's about it)

Sadly, he had to settle for cereal, a mini bagel, and banana.

Super excited!

I just checked Tara's blog and found out I won a RAK from her - some fun scrappy bling! Who wouldn't love it! Thanks Tara!

Check out her blog - she has some awesome challenges and prizes to be won. Best of all - tons of cool inspiration!

Some fun scrappy things...

 Check out this cool Autumn Banner I made!

I used the Ambrosia paper line by Basic Grey and some super cute ribbon I found at Michaels to tie it all together. Added a little bling and some leaf shaped buttons...and tada!

Even cooler is that I found a purpose for these...

I've seen these ugly chipboard coasters at Michaels for months now - bins and bins of them. The other day I was there and had some inspiration. I used them as the background shapes for the banner. Just cut my circles to the same shape...and voila - 6 chipboard pieces precut for $1. I think I have to go back and get more...you know...before they sell out! ;P
