Dear Vann

I want you to know how much mommy loves you ! All of you ! The crazy little boy that screams
 and then laughs  at the sound that you make after . The way you hold on tight to me and wrap your legs around me so tight , then tuck your tiny hands inside in front of your chest and lay your head right in to my neck like we were made for each other . I love that you try so hard to keep up with the girls .I love that the awe of having a little person in our house has not wore off for your sisters and they still squeeze you so tight and sometimes fight to who gets to hold you first . You are full of energy and little ball of fire some days. you keep me on my toes , learning and dreaming of all things good for you .Your toothy grin makes me smile so big . You have definitely cast a spell on this mama and won me over on your ways . You have a sparkle in your blue eyes , red tint in your hair ,and the will power to try anything . Look out world he's on his way .

This is our Vann Edward at 15 1/2 months .

Silly Boy .

Peek- a -BOO

HEY you !

 Whatca looking at !

These two literally stop me in my tracks . This is the boy I know and {LOVE} for sure .

Love you forever and Always Little man .

 

XOXOX your mama

 This is our Pirate Family .

Miss. Serious Pirate 
you may have to walk the plank if she's in charge.

 And this one may put the sword to your throat .

The jacket was not part of the costume but went well together for a chilly Halloween Evening . 

 sitting on my treasure keeping bad guys away !

My hubby whom wore brown nail polish cause his girlies told him he had too .To look like he had dirty finger nails. 
hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween too. 

Crafty Goodie bags

the girl's made these cute ghost by using Kleenex, sharpies , twine & alittle help from mom .We put these in our goodie bags for the party .

 Are they not cute ?

I remember making them as a girl too.
 

SO MUCH SPOOKY

I have thought and talked about having a Family Halloween party since well when I was a Saskatchewan girl and only had one child . Now I have four children and live in Manitoba . I have been inspired to do things now TODAY .
First of all I can say I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween and that probably easily comes from my mom . THANKS mom . ONE disadvantage of being on the farm is we get NO tricker  or  treaters , which on the bonus end of that means both hubby and I can dress up and go out with the kids . So we make sure every chance we get we make special treats for special people around us too . So we will share those crafty ideas with you all too .
 PARTY details .
THE Bones Family will be hosting their FIRST (hopefully annual ) Halloween Party .
I have obliviously had ideas in my head for a very long time .I really have not been sleeping the last few nights . Planning all the details to the food , decorations , family costumes (god forbid we wear what we will be wearing on the BIG night ) , goodie bags , the games and entertainment . I have been up real late getting all my FINE details hammered out. I will be HAPPY :) to share all my details of the party this weekend . Last night I have been trying to get the house all decorated so I will leave you with a sneak peek of this .

                                                          (This is my creepy Wreath )
 Our Party is Friday evening and I will be gone for the weekend but plan at this point to do some pre posts on my blog while I am gone , unless of course the ZOMBIES take me away before I can do that and if that is the case well .......
I guess you will have to wait until Monday .

Craft Weekend PART 2

I have finally posted PART 2 of CW .

As mentioned before this was a outstanding weekend .

Much needed .

Much deserved .

Helpful

Learned

Dreamed

RElaxed

Embraced

ENJOYED!

 EAT .Well that's what we exactly did . I think that is the BEST part of any crafty weekend . All women know the appreciation of GOOD food. So any crafty weekend I go to MUST have good food. I have even been known to go to crafty retreat for the food.

 Apple pie that was still warm from the oven . YUMMO !

 Breakfast Tea , yogurt , granola and doughnut.

 The "FAMOUS "  CW meal : chicken enchiladas , corn salad , & margaritas. It did get a little WILD this night we had balls flying into the margaritas. Pompoms to be exact .

Breakfast last day .
I must of been so hungry and forgot to take pictures of supper night 1 and cheesecake night 2 .
The food was oh so delicious .
THANK YOU very much to this lovely lady .

The another highlight would be the antique hunting .

 Look at that pile of "junk " some may say . But if I had a truck there instead of flying I could of cleaned that up a bit.

 Meg  took this beauty home.

 I love love these chairs .

 I need one of these too .

My sis  and me @ the barn . Aren't we all cute .

Bird eye view of all our goodies together  . I am thinking we cleaned up in the barn for sure .

well going to leave you all with this for now.Desperate for more.....
