Cabott's first Snow

He has wanted to go out in the snow with his siblings for awhile so finally I bundled him up and let him go.
 The whole hat thing was a little hard for him to keep out of his eyes.
 All he really wanted to do was to eat the snow.







 Once he realized that the grass was poking him every time he went in for a bite, he decided he wanted to go into the garden and get really dirty.

Halloween Wreath - Under $10 and 10 minutes

I often go to pinterest and just pin stuff for 'later.' It's always later because with 3 kids, a big house, and a busy job, I never have time 'now.' Well, I was in Target getting things for Winter's schooling, when I saw this grapevine wreath. I remembered pinning this inspiration. Then and there I decided I could do this little project for really cheap and really fast. I actually bought 4 of them, because I am going to do a couple more for other holidays the same way.

$2.50 grapevine wreath from Target

 $3 can of spray paint from Home Depot
I just spray painted the front and sides and let dry for 2 minutes
 $1 pumpkin table decoration from Dollar Tree
I hot glued the pumpkin to the wreath
 $1 spider webbing from Dollar Tree, the ribbon it's hanging from I had saved from a gift
With a little ball of the spider webbing I pasted over the front going back and forth a few times. It usually just gets caught on the vine without any real effort.
 $1 bag of spider rings from Dollar Tree
I clipped the backs off three, then hung on the webbing
 $1 set of 4 skeleton garland
I removed the skeletons from the garland and hot glued them to the wreath. Their legs move so I sat one in the front and put one on the back side.
For a total of $9.50 and seriously only 10 minutes, I got a wreath I love and could not have found an equal anywhere. Plus, it's totally unique :) And actually I have enough things let over from Dollar Tree and the spray paint, I could do a whole additional one for the price of just another wreath and table decoration ($3.50.)

I'm ONE!

Loves: Uncle Steve, Learning to walk, Carrots, Balls.



I have 8 teeth. And lots more coming in.





I am very brave and fearless. I do lots of things I shouldn't because I believe mom and dad will save me from harm. They usually do :)





I am silly and make funny faces. I have a very expressive face.

I'd climb this if mom would let me.






Comin' to get you mom!

I love to fly! Dad throws me very high and I just laugh and smile.




I am really close to walking. I will walk all over with someones help but I can't quite take any steps on my own just yet.





Such a little thing to be so big.
