Nook Craft Time

Normally Ethan loves to do craft projects and is so careful when it comes to his attention to detail.  Today, I thought the pipsqueaks would jump at the chance to add to our Halloween decor with some fun projects I bought.  Well just think again...the only pipsqueak I could get to pay any attention to me was Daxton!  So crafting we did!!

Perhaps the other two will give me and my craft projects a chance next time!!

Star Wars Room Transformation Continues

I'm still chipping away at the boys' Star Wars room makeover.  The furniture that was in there before it became a shared room is white, so I thought it would be fun and cute to add a vinyl decal or two to the night stand.  The nice thing about vinyl...it can be removed!!

This fun little decal will be making its way into the boys' room shortly...

We are getting closer all the time with checking projects off our list.  I think this will be the last bedroom update for awhile.  I'm really expecting someone to hold me to that!!

Halloween Inspiration...for Next Year

I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that the outside of The Nook doesn't get as much decor love as the inside.  I searched the wonderful world of the internet and found some pretty awesome inspiration for the outside of The Nook for 2016...

I definitely have some stepping up to do, but I think I will be ready as much on the outside as the inside next year, lol!!

Ferrari Farms

We wrapped up our weekend with the Thomas Family doing what we do best - having fun!!  We kicked off our Sunday at Ferrari Farms picking the perfect pumpkins.

After we had picked our perfect pumpkins the pipsqueaks were awfully tired.  It was a fabulous time with some of our very best friends.

We love you big!!  Happy Sunday!

The Nook Porch

I just want to thank my dear husband for not being too upset at me for coming home with 2 more hay bales, an owl and a R.I.P stone.  Especially after the first words out of Ethan's mouth were, "Mommy bought us a $30 R.I.P stone, don't be mad Dad."

It's definitely a work-in-progress but I'm excited about it!  First year in the 7 we have lived here that we have decorated the porch!!!

The Pumpkin Walk

We kicked off our weekend with a 2 hour wait, lots of running around and enjoying lots and lots of Jack-O-Lanters!

After waiting in quite a long line we finally made it in the Wilber D. May Museum and the Arboretum we toured an extensive amount of pumpkins.  The Halloween decor was so much fun and we only lost the kids a handful of times in the pitch black!

Tomorrow will be spent picking pumpkins at the pumpkin patch!!

Football Day

We have arrived at our midway point in the 2015 high school football season.

This week Reed played the North Valley's Panthers!!  After quite the bus ride through Sun Valley we arrived to find that the freshman game wasn't even at halftime yet.  We spent a portion of the freshman game talking about wanting to do more team bonding and about how excited they are to start working on competition!!

They did an amazing job cheering on the JV Raiders to a 40-0 victory!!
