So I have a TON of apples, thanks to my fantastic mother and her apple tree! This year is the first time I have attempted to make a pie of any kind and I have to admit, they turned out pretty good! ^^
Check 'em out!
mmm, my house smells so good!!
Anyways, this is a short post, I have so much on the go right now!
I will be back and posting again after the rather large Thanksgiving Dinner I am doing for my friends and family and then after that, Halloween time a bazillion!! :)

Thanksgiving Craft and the starting of Halloween!
Ok, so I really am starting to remember to blog more often. I am fairly certain it is mostly for my own peace of mind, as I don't think I have many readers. It's all the same to me, I like to ramble and be a proud Mommy, lol. Also, I'm kind of cheating, eventually I would like to get my blog printed out into a book, total scrapbook cheating! hehe
Annnyways, just a few crafts to share! The kids and I started out doing a Thanksgiving turkey crafts with their hand prints! P helped me finish them as T-Rex decided it was nap time

Alright, so there you have it, our turkeys!
Next up, some Halloween fun! We originally had planned to do the yard all scary, but they we ended up switching to more kid friendly. P doesn't really get scared of anything, she laughs at everything, but my little T-Rex freaked right out at one of the scary Halloween props, hence the change in theme.
These may still get used though, cause they look cool! lol..
Its fantastic what you can make with some cardboard tubes and a hot glue gun! My little bloody candles were originally going to be set near the creepy coffin, I think they may end up in a large pumpkin instead!
One night, P really wanted to do some crafting, so I drew out a couple shapes ( the pumpkin and the ghost) and she proceeded to glue to proper colored pom poms on the board! Considering she is only 2, I think she did a pretty good job. After that, Mommy added some words and we painted the background with some glitter paint! Fun fun. :)
As a quick edit, I also wanted to add a few pics of the pumpkin cake I made! It was my first try (so no laughing) but I was also trying to practice marbling a cake. I have a wedding cake to do for 2 dear friends of mine, in December, and I want to do a good job!

Halloween Part 1
If you know me in real time, then you know that Halloween is easily my favorite time of the year followed closely by Yule!
This year we held our first Halloween Party and it was a success! Hopefully it will become the annual Halloween party. :)
The kids and I have been doing crafts and getting things ready for All Hallows Eve! My 2 year old is already in love with the holiday, running around singing "Happy Halloween!" and asking for more punkies ( her word for pumpkins, lol). This year my daughter is a Candy Corn Witch for Halloween and my son was R2D2 for the party and will be a warm little tiger for Trick or Treating.
I actually made T-Rexs R2D2 onesie and I was really happy with how it turned out.
Check it all out!
Candy Corn Witch!
Saw this on Pinterest and thought it was a clever idea for a healthier alternative
More to come after Trick or Treating on All Hallows Eve!!! :)

Halloween Part 2!
Alrighty, so we live in Calgary, AB Canada and it was a very chilly Samhain evening for Trick or Treating!
My little man made it out for a whole 10 mins before his Auntie took him back to the house while I carried on with my lil' Candy Corn Witch. We did the block and then called it quits, to much cold, to much snow and her little witch's hat kept blowing off.
That being said, together they got more then enough candy for a one and two year old and we also had so much left overs...we only had 6 trick or treaters. Le sigh....
Oh well, it was fun all the same and we already look forward to next year! Check out the pics of our chilly evening, as well as the first little winter craft we did to replace some of the Halloween decorations!
T-Rec checked out the fruit of P's hard work, lol.
Annnnnd then after all the Hallows Eve decorations where cleaned up, we did some snowflakes to hang in the window! We aren't starting to decorate for Yule until December 1st! Here's just a few pics of the craftyness and a bonus pic each of my 2 beautiful babies! :)
Pretty Lil'P!
Oh!!! Also, I will have posts to come about my beautiful sleeve! I am getting a half sleeve done for my birthday and I had the opportunity to see the design today for the first time! It is stunning, very pagan and very me! lol. I will be posting pics of progress as I get it done. :)
