…
We attempted photos on Halloween and they turned out as follows.
Alfie looking.
Dwayne “looking”.
No one looking.
Guess we’ll call that a success!
The minion costume was made by my momma and the sunflower was a hand-me-down from Dwayne’s aunt Katie.
Happy day! And happy November!
Good Morning Friday! Today I am linked up with April, Darci, Christina, and Natasha for Five on Friday!
I have been working on something for our Christmas tree. I also think it will be super cute as a photo booth backdrop. But it is a much more daunting task than I expected. I’ve been making these pom poms. They’re super cute and relatively easy but it takes a little while.
Aren’t they fun? I plan on stringing them all together and wrapping them around the tree but right now I could only cover like 1/4th of the tree. Ha! And they kinda make a mess…
My method: wrap the yarn around my fingers and then tie together and cut. Then you have to trim trim trim to make it round.
I mentioned to my mom that I was having a tough time on these little poms. And she (of course) had a solution for me! Did you know they make perfect pom pom gadgets? Both sizes HERE and HERE (affiliate links).
They actually make the perfect pom poms!
It makes it so much easier and it cuts off a little bit of time. Maybe now I am halfway through the tree?
I went into Mike’s office the other day just to say hello and these funny brothers were wearing the same outfit in opposites!
They also are pretty funny when posing for photos.
We’ve been keeping him cooped up with all the cold weather, but he’s adjusted well. He spends most of his day sleeping with random bursts of energy.
Today and tomorrow are going to be the days of addressing envelopes (and probably a couple other projects) but it has been quite the process. More than half of my addresses were out of date! But Christmas cards are one of my favorite holiday traditions!
Happy Friday!
I have found myself frequently asking Mike if it is STILL too soon for Christmas decorations. We don’t have much, but we do have a little 3 foot tree that I’ve been dying to pull out.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t just LOVE Christmas.
I am no exception.
But my question is still.. How soon is too soon?
I mean, Christmas music is already exclusively playing in my car. When I walk around in this freezing tundra that is currently the state of Kansas I can’t help but think Christmas is only a week away.
But, 41 days.
Christmas just does something to my spirit. Last night I went to Target to buy toilet paper… It was a bad call, but it was so cold outside and I wanted to enjoy the warmth so, I walked around. I browsed. And slowly but surely the cart filled up.
You can add to that a cute little fox to match the bird, some Christmas gifts for family, and this.
Alfie’s first winter vest! It was $3 in the bargain section. Miraculously, I think he likes it. When I take it off for awhile and then pull it out to put it back on him (just to see how he feels about it) he just sits patiently waiting for me to put it on. Heart melt. And it’s reversible!
So today is going to be the start of Christmas season for me. I woke up this morning, ready. I made hot chocolate, put my feet by the heater, and sat down to work on our Holiday card. And maybe later this afternoon I’ll pull out our little tree from storage and play Christmas music through the house. That with laundry, dishes, cleaning, and writing out my November goals (no judging – it includes FINALLY changing my name on my social security card).
Happy Day! Has the Christmas spirit struck you yet?
