Treven's Halloween Costume

This year, Treven fought especially hard, but we finally compromised on a gangster suit. He had a hat, too. I'm not sure why he's not wearing it on Halloween, though. He also had a little plastic tommy gun. Too bad he's too cute to look fearsome!

Ellie's Halloween Costume

I almost always let the kids pick out their own costumes, the only rule is that they can't be anything scary or evil. I'm not a big fan of Halloween, especially the bloody gross side. Treven is the only one who has ever put up a fight about this rule, but I remain firm! Ellie picked Minnie Mouse for her costume this year and she looked adorable!

Anti-Drug Week

I have been over Red Ribbon Week for the past few years. We always try to do different activities and a treat each day along with dress up days. I try to tie the dress up to whatever the treat is for the day. These are the treats that I did this year. The last four pictures (with the severed body parts) were my favorite. I got a great deal on them and couldn't pass them up! I'm pretty sure the kids loved them..not so sure about the teachers, though!

Dinosaur Rag Quilt

One of the girls that works at Peavey was going to have a baby and I wanted to make her a rag quilt. I wasn't really excited about the fabric I chose, but due to time constraints, I went with it anyway. Once it was finished, I loved it! The bright colors looked really neat. Anyway, I took her the gift, and she was so excited! She said she had wanted to make a rag quilt, but didn't know how. I have even seen a few facebook pictures with the baby laying on the blanket!

Preschool Princess Playdate

When we studied the letter "P" I had the girls dress up like their favorite princess. They both ended up choosing Sleeping Beauty! I have downloaded several letter activities from a home schooling site and I was thrilled to find this princess pack that had all kinds of fun princess pages to color, write, and cut. /> We also couldn't do a "P" day, without pink and purple playdough! The girls had a lot of fun dressing up, and to this day, as we go through our flashcards, they both shout "P" princess, when we get to the P!

October Retreat Projects

With the retreat coming right after Braquel's wedding, I really didn't have much time to prepare any projects or scrapbook layouts, so I went on Pinterest and took pictures of cards that I liked. I gathered very few supplies and figured I would do what I felt like doing. It ended up, I did all of these cards and I did six of each design! Even though I didn't get as much done as I usually do, I felt good that at least I came home with something accomplished!

4 Girls & A Dream Oct. 2012 Retreat

We have been getting more crafters at our retreats that are not necessarily scrappers, so I wanted to showcase some of the projects that ladies have been working on. It's really been fun to see how all of the crafts can really mix together and give each of us more inspiration!
