Crafty days

I have been working on some fun crafty projects, but I can't post most of them, because a few of you can't see them quite yet ;) However, I did want to post this picture of the bedding I made for Wil's room this summer while on vacation. It was so fun to do something creative- especially cause I had no idea what I was doing...I made it up as I went.



And just a quick Beckett funny. While sitting in traffic (and expressing a teensy bit of road rage) Beckett asked, "mom, where's your smoke coming out?"

While putting him to bed the other night:
B: What is that noise?
Me: Oh, it's just the neighbors
B: I am worried about it.

{Halloween}

This year Wil just had to be a pumpkin.
With his cheeks it would have been wrong to do anything else. He played the part well.
As Beckett calls him 'Chunker Wil'.





Beckett was a bit tricky as we all remember last year's Halloween fiasco of putting his pirate outfit on 5 minutes before the trunk or treat and it didn't fit. (If you don't recall, this might help spark your memory.) So, I figured a nice non-invasive outfit like a train engineer. (What could be easier than a tee-shirt and some light overalls?) Well he was having none of it, and I had to bribe him all night to keep his hat on. While trunk-or-treating at the church party he spoke about 2 words the entire night, neither of which included the words trick, treat OR thank you. We kept walking around and I'd say, "Beckett, can you say trick or treat" and he'd stand there silent. Then I'd take a candy and say, "Beckett, what do you say?" and he'd stand there silent. Finally when people asked what he was dressed up as I told them he'd come as a mute train engineer. Yeesh. At least he looked cute.





{and yes, I know B has chocolate all over his face. I thought it added to the picture}
