A football weekend

We had a great weekend filled with lots of Football. It was the season opener Jamboree. P#1 lost his 1st game( I'm guessing cause of nerves!) But then won the 2nd and 3rd game. In game 2 he ran one in for a touchdown. In Game 3 the R.B. made 3 touchdowns!! Then afterwards we stayed at a hotel with the hubs rents and had lots of fun at the pool!!

My new purse. I love it. I'm totally obsessed with this fabric! I got the pattern from a great website and it was SO easy, only took about an hour. And just thought I'd share P#3 being a goof ball!He woke up in a great mood, thankfully I think he is completely feeling better!

Week of randomness

Our fishing day out at the Columbia River.

P#1's Football practice

And this is what #2 & #3 do, get to play while big brother practices.

Our Giant pumpkin, I used P#3 as a prop so you can see how big it is! And it still has about 2 months to grow.

Something cute and easy

I had this frame from a vanity I found on the sidewalk to get thrown away, I recycled the vanity part into a computer desk,( sanded, painted), and this has been sitting in the garage for awhile, broken mirror and all. I was bored so decided to do something w/ it. I'm very happy w/ it. Although my original purpose for it was to be in the kitchen to put my recipes in, but my kitchen is soo small and lacks wall space. Oh well, this will work for now.

Coloring Purse

The kids were invited to one of the neighborhood kids birthday party.She is the little sister to P#1's best friend.I have totally forgot( or maybe never knew, P#2 was a diva by this age!)what a 3 yr. old likes. So after a long time out in Blog land, I found this super cute tutorial, and it turned out perfect!! I can't wait to make more.Plus I need to practice more on my applique skills, which currently are NOT very good!!

I got this idea from MaKC Creations. You can visit her blog here.

A new bathroom

I've been working all week to finish the kids bathroom. I painted it(it was a cream color).I moved the shelf from my bathroom in. and did a few crafts. The flowers were left over from some headbands I made, the little pots were from my dads resturaunt (came with kid meals)Got the square picture thingys from the dollar bin at Target(LOVE IT!!)The Roxy shower curtain was clearanced at Bed Bath and Beyond for 9$.I am so pleased with how it turned out! My bathroom is next!!Just goes to show what you can do with virtually no money spent.
