JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE: November 2011

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

For Halloween at our house we had a Blue Macaw and a Spiderman. They both had a happy night and enjoyed lots of candy. This year we went out trick or treating with some friends and neighbors. The kids had a blast and can't wait until next year.

Reupholstery: After

Here are my after pictures. I think that they turned out pretty well if I do say so myself! Thanks to Sarah for letting me borrow her staple gun and helping with the scary back pieces. I am so glad to have them finished FINALLY and have moved on to some of my other projects! Hallelujah!

Reupholstery: Before

When we moved into this house way back in March I bought these two chairs that were identical off of craigslist. Here is the before picture.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkins on Sunday night. I forgot to take pictures of the finished products.

Car and Engine Museum

There is a museum in town that is by appointment only. It is full of old cars and engines with a room full of old motorcycles as well. My parents neighbor made and appointment and invited everyone he could. We were lucky enough to have been invited too. It was so fun to see all of the cars. The picture of my parents are of them in front of cars from the year they were born. The kids had a lot of fun. Gabe ran from car to car checking everything out.

Alpine Ponds

We took the kids to Alpine Ponds Haunted Trail this year. There were a few carnival like stations and a trail that was all decked out with spiders and ghosts. Both kids had their faces painted. Gabe got a spider and Lydia requested a snake. They also had a tent with a movie playing. The kids both had a good time and the next day kept asking if we could go back to the Halloween place.
