I Guess it Was a Hit

The Clone helmet that is. I had to make Alek a costume to go along with the helmet for Halloween. And as usual, I left it all for the last minute but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. So proud that I had to take a picture of it empty of the actual clone LOL! Not too shabby for poster board, yellow duct tape and a mom who knows nothing about Clone Troopers...

Happy Birthday Alek!

My oldest baby turns 8 today. He's had a great day today except for when his dad told him we got him gitch and socks for a present. That's a "bummer" and "not a very fun present" according to him. Hopefully he'll be much happier with the Storm Trooper Helmet!

Needs

I need to get busy. I have quite a few pairs of slippers to sew and other projects to get started on/finish. Plus, I still have to try and get some shows booked in time for the Christmas season. Yikes!

I need more time in the day. I need more space to actually get things done.

It looks like I need to rush out after work today and buy Alek a couple more birthday presents. Although, I'm beginning to think that if Alek (or any of my kids for that matter) aren't a priority for some people why should I have to pretend that they are? We all make our own beds...

Hm, looks like I'm having a bit of a blah day so far. Hopefully that will change.

Family Picture

I convinced Heather to come out to the in-laws to take some family pictures of us all when Lloyd was celebrating his 65th birthday. The scenery was just beautiful and the pictures look awesome. We hadn't had a family picture taken since Alek was 3, and we've added a few more family members since then LOL! I forgot just how hard it is to get a decent picture when you have kids. Plus it ended up being a windy day, which of course didn't bother the guys but it made me look extra-special LOL. I'm happy to have a picture with all of us in it. Plus I can see just how big Lukas is getting. Shocking, but he isn't a tiny baby anymore.
