Soccer is done, now what?






The Green Beans finished up their season the other weekend. Hailey had a blast playing and learning a new sport and she was so excited when she got her "cool trophy" as she puts it. So now that soccer is over what will take up all our time apart from the holidays?


PROJECTS!!

We did repaint the living room and all the hallway about a month ago. We bought this old painters ladder at the flea market in August and are now using it as sort of a picture frame.

Our other project is our new window bench in the kitchen. I can't wait for this project to be completed. Not only will it provide us with a lot more seating in the kitchen but also storage as well. We built it to where each section lifts up and we can store a lot of kitchen items that we don't use very often to make space in our cabinets. We are in the process of picking out fabric and making some cushions for it as well as some throw pillows to coordinate. Of course this has inspired some other changes so we will probably re-cover the kitchen chairs to match the cushion and then make curtains for the living room to match the pillows and tie everything together.

Trick or Treat

We went to the Asbury house again for their annual Halloween party. Hailey was a bee and Mackenzie was a flower ( she would not keep the hood on). Hailey was really into Halloween this year. She loved seeing all the houses decorated and yesterday she kept asking to put her costume on and go trick or treating. She and Tyler and some other kids had so much fun running door to door.


Mackenzie did great at the first house and she got two suckers and then she was done. She just carried around her suckers and didn't want to walk anymore so she got carried the rest of the time and only got a few things of candy. We all had a great time.
