halloween costumes!

Zander doing the army crawl!
not sure why it turned out sideways but I am too lazy to fix it!!!!

Zander in his Halloween Parade at school!!!

Lissie found these fun wings on clearance at Joann's so we got two pairs and I made the girls fairy princess dresses!!! They turn out beauiful! Zander wanted to be an army man, so when we found the hat, cantina, and walkey talkey on clearance we went back to the fabric counter at Joann's and bought him some water resistant nylon army fabric and this is what we came up with! I used my friend Natalie's "Koolmono" pattern to make his costume. You can see her stuff on Etsy if you type in KOOLMONO in the search! It is all super cute!!!!

sewing projects!!!

This is what I have been doing instead of updating my blog!!! I have finished two other dresses but Ihaven't taken pictures of them so there is more to come soon!!!!

Please excuse the string cheese on the floor! I spent the morning sewing the top instead of cleaning! Off to go do my chores!

Zach is in LA for an entire month. He left on the 11th of July and will be back on the 13th of August. So far I have not gone crazy but I have come close a few times!!!! The kids are being pretty good but I miss having someone to hang out with at night :(

Carleigh waving "Hi Pappi!"

She climbed on the bed all by herself!

Zander snuck in bed with Lissie! They were so sweet I had to take a picture!

Family puzzle time

Playing trains in our remodeled basement!!! Thanks to the flooding we had the night of the TORNADO WARNING we now have new walls, new flooring, and no BOW BAR!!! The basement is huge now!!! I am not sure who loves it more me or the kids.

Watching the birds! See was so impressed with them!

Zander loves his little sister!

Going GREEN..

or pink, or yellow, or orange, or blue!!! Yep you might have guessed it I talking about cloth diapers of course!!!! My babies will now be sporting the fabulous bum genius 3.0 organic cloth diapers. We are on our first 24 hours of using them and so far I am loving it!!! The initial investment was a little painful to get all the diapers (12) but in five months they will be paid for and we will never have to buy diapers again!!!!!!!!!!! Plus we are helping the environment a bit too!!! They are definitely not anything like the old school cloth diapers of our parents days, these are deluxe! They are all in one diapers. They have the liners built into them and they go on just like a normal diaper would. They have snaps to put them on and they snap length wise also so they can be size small, medium, or large!!! They fit about 8 pound to 30!!!! Carleigh had on the same diaper for 12 hours last night without a single leak. Zander, Lissie, and Brody all also are wearing monkey doozle cloth diapers at night time. All three of them woke up with dry Pajamas this morning!!! I LOVE them!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I am going to get some liners down in Racine so when they poop you just grab the liner and flush it down the toilet!!! My sister has two friends that have been using them since DEC without leaks as long as the white liner is tucked into the water proof outside!!! I am converted!!!

Yep that cute pink thing on her butt is a diaper!!!

Carleigh just LOVES the kitty!!!! Emmery is such a great sport when Carleigh makls her!
