Remembering Good Times

About a week ago, Teniah came across my scrapbook and was looking through the pages. I came across a newspaper article, and I wondered, "what's that?" As I looked closer, I knew, it was my grandmothers obituary. It has been almost 5 years since she passed away. It is amazing to me how the time has passed.

In the time since, there are days when I miss her, then I pull out her necklace; I place it around my neck, and think of all the happy memories of her all day. By the end of the day, it's almost as if I have spent some time with her. Today, I heard the song, "Que Sera". Thoughts of my grandma came rushing back. I remember her singing that song to me many times as a child. So as I had this rush of thoughts, I couldn't help but to give her a place on my blog.

Grandma Barbara was an amazing woman. She was kind and thoughtful and giving. She was strong and funny. I know that I will always carry a piece of her in my heart, and she will always be missed by me. Love you Grandma!

Craftiness!

So, I have a new addiction to "Pinterest"...and have been looking a lot at Halloween decorations and etc. I came across something like this....
and was SOOO excited...I made one myself! I thought it turned out REALLY cute and it was so easy...my kind of crafts! haha Oh, the one pictured is the one that I made!

Anyways...I am pondering the idea of selling them...so if anyone wants one...they are $7!

Halloween?

So, I have these two little girls at home, who thinks it NEEDS to be Halloween TOMORROW! I don't know what has spurred this LOVE for Halloween, but I find it becoming one of my favorite holidays! Although I did break down and start decorating last night (the chic-a-dees wanted to decorate three weeks ago!) , I will wait for the more "Halloween themed" decorations to come out on October 1st!

Now, this little girl has been asking me for the last THREE WEEKS when Halloween is. We've been talking costumes since then as well. I finally broke down and pulled out the costumes. She tried this on, and then had to wear it for two days! I don't know if this is what she will end up being this year, but she makes one cute little skeleton!
(FYI, this costume was one my brother wore when he was probley 6 or 7! But it sure looks cute as a little dress for our little KiKi!)
