whimsical necklaces

Some jewelry that I just fell in love with last week from Mixko's Etsy shop...

 I LOVE rainy days. Who could be glum on a rainy day with this necklace? Seriously! 

What a great way to always carry them with me.

 

This necklace would make a great Young Women's Values necklace: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice & Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue.

 

This one just makes me smile...

 

Halloween Costumes for Grown-Ups

Pregnant Mommy costume from Make It and Love It blog - too cute and too funny!

And here's what she made for her husband so you can see what's in his belly...

I don't know what self-respecting grown man would wear this - but I'd love to see it! haha! From  CostumePop.comhttp://costumepop.com/adult-costumes/how-to-make-a-sheep-costume/...

This one is not only creepy, but so realistic that they had to label what was fake and what was real in the photo. Definitely points for creativity and hard work. From CurtisTucker.comhttp://www.curtistucker.com/labels/Photo.html...

Another creative costume from Instructables.comhttp://www.instructables.com/image/FKA1YH7G1QW9W1Y/How-to-make-a-Mount-Rushmore-Costume.jpg!

We can't leave little Fifi out of the fun! From DoggieStylish.comhttp://www.doggiestylish.com/store/2009/10/how-to-make-a-dog-fish-costume-for-halloween/...

If you're dog goes missing by the end of the night, check this guy's house. haha

I don't know of a cat on this planet that would let you do this to them. But if you can find one that would, definitely go with this costume!

I'm still working on what I'm going to wear, but I hope these pics got your creative juices flowing! Happy Halloween!

Wookiee Cookies

There are three brothers that stay the evenings with us for night care while their mom works the swing shift and I often take them to the library to do homework and read books.

This is what one of the boys checked out from the library tonight:

It's my new favorite cookbook, Wookiee Cookies!
Tonight we made R2D2 Treats. It's a banana covered in melted white chocolate chips, then rolled in crushed nuts and Kit Kat bars for the side legs. SO YUMMY!
