Fun with friends!

Jeremiah has had lots of friends over lately. He gets so excited to hear that someone is coming over and he's even more excited when they stay!

Shutterfly!

At our house we take a lot of pictures. I have recently been introduced to Shutterfly.com for printing pictures. I am going to order Iris's birth announcements from their site. A friend of ours recently used them for her baby boy's birth announcement and they turned out so cute! They have a ton of adorable designs to choose from. Their Christmas cards are really cute too, but I think since Iris will be joining us around Christmas we may save our greetings for after she arrives. If I was going to do a Christmas card though, I love this one...

I love the colors and the option of including more than one picture. I always have a hard time choosing just one photo.

A couple of years ago I started making a year in review photo book. Shutterfly has great prices on their books and the cover options are really cute. Go check out www.shutterfly.com for your next prints!

The cutest Lumberjack you've ever seen!

When thinking about Jeremiah's costume for this year I knew I wanted three things; cheap, comfortable and warm. My mom sent us a box of clothes and shoes for Jeremiah that she picked up for him at a consignment sale and in that box was this plaid flannel shirt and a pair of "work" boots. With those items in hand I set out to make the perfect lumberjack outfit for him. Well, actually I started planning and then did nothing until Saturday. :) I couldn't find suspenders in his size so I made some from scrap fabric. The hat is his new warm winter hat which happened to look perfect with the outfit and Jeremiah's Uncle Matt made him his special axe, (ok, I did plan ahead with that). I love costumes that come straight from the closet. There wasn't another kid at trunk or treat dressed like our lumberjack! The beard was a last minute addition thanks to my old liquid eyeliner.

Jeremiah collected lots of candy for Al & I to eat. It pays to not introduce your kid to sugar! He didn't even know what he was missing, he just loved all the bright colored packages people kept handing him.
