Halloween Pillow Case Dress

Last year for the pumpkin patch I wanted something cute and girly for halloween. Everything I found was obnoxious or not feminine enough. So I found some cute fabric at Joanns and made a VERY simple pillowcase dress. It was exactly what I wanted. And the pictures turned out amazing. I will never forget how fun this day was.

Not quiet walking yet,

But SO big!

This is the first picture of Lotte and Brother. We didn't know he was a he yet, and she was so cute. I would say, "Where's the baby?" and she would rub my tummy.

And she would lift up my shirt every time to see him!

Kisses for the baby.

What. A. Day.

Oh and I am going to be linking this up to a super fun link party that Maggie at Mid Western Sewing Girl is hosting. She loves Halloween and is doing a week long party with a halloween themed link up...she has even hinted at a cool prize pack! You should join in too!

Another week of meals

Here is to another week of meal planning success! This makes my life so much easier!

I don't really "plan" anything out for the weekends, because we usually eat on the fly, but tomorrow night I'm making a big pot of chili! Yum!

Super Potatoes! A BIG baked potato with LOTS of fixings!

Shrimp Linguini in a pesto sauce.

Ham and Cabbage Skillet.

Baked Salmon with rice.

Whatever Daddy wants! I'm on the road to Kansas!

Favorite Quote Printable

This is my favorite quote ever.

It's from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Pretty much sums up my life.
You can print it out too. I'm going to put it in my craft space.

Mister's Little Mister Party

Brother was baptized a little while ago and we hosted a Little Man Luncheon in his honor. I did THIS post awhile back to show some of my inspiration. So without much further ado, here's the party!

The party was at a local park under a pavilion. Here is the mini desert table. I did chocolate cupcakes with blue buttercream icing and chocolate covered pretzels (made by Brother's Godparents).

Thanks so much to Emily from Remarkable Home for the cupcake toppers!

The neck ties on a clothesline to add a little somthin-somthin.

I didn't want to do bottle labels because I wanted the water to be cold, and labels just don't work for that. So instead I tied some of the torn fabric around the bottles. It worked great because they weren't ho-hum water bottles, but it didn't matter that it got wet.

One of my best friends {also my aunt} is a PROFESSIONAL themed-food-namer, renowned for her skills in alliteration and clever titles for random things. She helped me come up with some clever names for the food.

The straws had paper mustaches on them. I used mason jars filled with chocolate candies (malt balls, raisenettes, and goobers) as "centerpieces". I ripped strips of fabric and tied them like neckties around the jars. LOVE THEM!
