You've gotta love Pinterest

So my new current obsession, along with everyone else, is Pinterest. They just have the best ideas for decorating my home. Especially Tori's nursery. Here is the first project I've tried.... key word being TRIED. I'm going to have to give this one another go, but the first attempt was a lot of fun.The idea is to have Tyler put his hand print on canvas and then for Tori's to be inside of his. 

This is what we got when we tried to add Tori's hand print.

A smeared hand print and...

one messy baby! 

Isn't she just the cutest?!

 

Luckily I took her clothes off before we started this otherwise we would have really had a mess on our hands. Seriously though, I thought this project would be easy, but Tori was just clenching to tightly that it was nearly impossible to pry open. Not to mention then be able to place it down flatly on the canvas and make a perfect hand print. The one attempt we had she smeared as she took her hand off the canvas. Looks like we're going to have to start over another day. It was a funny experience though, and made for some good family bonding time. :)

Time to play catch up! ~ Halloween

I know I'm almost a month late, but I figure I better get this posted before Thanksgiving is here. Better late than never right? :) Well this Halloween was a lot of fun. Probably more fun for me than for Tyler and Tori because I got to dress my sweet girl up. Seriously having a little girl to dress up is the funnest. I wasn't sure what I wanted Tori to be for Halloween and had to wait pretty much till a week before to buy her costume because I wanted to make sure that it was the right size and wasn't sure if she'd still be in newborn clothes or if we'd graduate to the 0-3 months size. My first thought was a lady bug, but I couldn't find a custome I liked. Then I came across this beauty at the Quilted Bear.

 I fell in love this instant I saw it, and not to mention the price was unbeatable. I took it home to make sure it fit Tori, and of course she looked soo cute in it, so I decided to keep it. I made my own little alterations to it so it would fit her a little bit better. It turned out so cute! We decided that she was a ballerina fairy... awesome right? :) 

Every Halloween, for as long as I can remember, my Aunt Susie makes soup and pumpkin style bread bowls. Then a bunch of the family gathers together to eat before the kids go trick-or-treaing. Tyler and I headed over there as soon as we got off work. The food was delicious as usual. We always have a good time, and it's definitely a tradition I look forward to every year.

Tori with my cousin Megan. She and her sisters were cute little witches!

After the night was through we changed Tori into her Halloween pajamas from Grandma Cheryl (Tyler's Mom.) They looked so darling on her. And we can't forget Tori's Halloween bracelet that her Great Grandma Monsen (my grandma) made her.
