Show & Tell Monday:: Gobble Gobble!

This week I'm linking up with Becky at From Mrs. to Mama for Show & Tell Monday!

I haven't linked up to this post since I just recently came back from my break!

So if your dropping by for the first time let me take a second and first of all thank you for stopping by & second let me tell you a little about myself!

I'm a twenty something momma with a 20 month old son, Maddux, I'm married to my very best friend & high school sweetheart, Jayce.  I'm a SAHM that does a little etsy shop on the side! We are 16 weeks pregnant with baby #2 aka Mystery baby! I love the blogging community and finding fellow momma's-- it's so nice to find people you can relate to and understand what each other are going through! Thanks again for stopping by!

 



Let's get to these questions!

 

1. Tell us about your family traditions for Thanksgiving
We have a pretty simple busy day filled with food & family get togethers!


2. Tell us about your favorite foods
I get SO excited about the turkey! I enjoy all of the food but the Turkey is by far my favorite!  This year I'm making a pumpkin roll and oreo truffles for our get togethers!


3. Show us a picture that reminds you of this holiday

2008

 I came home from school for Thanksgiving & that's when Jayce popped the question!!

4. Tell us, do you wait to decorate for Christmas before or after Thanksgiving?
Growing up we always decorated the day after Thanksgiving since moving out I procrastinate... A lot! I think it's the hassle of getting everything out--I'm not sure because I LOVE Christmas so I wish I loved the decorating part but that's probably my least favorite! Hubs is a grinch when it comes to decorating too! He always complains and asks why we HAVE to put up a tree--yeah, it's that bad!


5. Tell us what you are thankful for this year
This year I'm thankful for the health of my family, the miracle of finally getting pregnant, my crazy amazing toddler, my responsible loving husband, the worlds greatest parents, my home, the little things in life that so many don't get the comfort of enjoying & a wonderful church home! I'm sure I could ramble on and on about this I think the older I get the more I feel blessed!

I hope you all have wonderful week!!

Are any of you going Black Friday shopping?? If so what's on your shopping list??
I go every year even if I don't need anything!! :)
I love it!!

Family Pictures 2012

Have a great week everyone!! :)

 

 

 

Halloween 2012:: UP Costume-- Carl

This year Maddux was the old man "Carl" from UP! His costume was the easiest-- I only wish he would've let me get a better picture of him!

I love homemade costumes! I think they look so much better than the store bought ones last year Maddux was a ocotopus!
CHECK THAT OUT HERE

 

 

The idea came from HERE

 

 

I'm going to give you a list of all the items we used & where we purchased them from!

 

Costume Specifics

White dress shirt: Target

Brown Pants: Old Navy

Suspenders: Amazon

Bow Tie: Children's Place

Shoes: Walmart

Coat: clearance item at Babies R US-- Info below

Glasses: Build-A-Bear

Balloons: Walmart-- Info below

Cane: Homemade-- Info below

 

 

The Coat Info::

Since we live in Indiana we really wanted to make sure Maddux would be warm on Halloween but we didn't want him to lose the look of his costume so when my mom saw the coat on clearance at BRU we knew it would be perfect!

 

The Cane::

As you can see in the pictures above the cane was homemade-- my parents actually put this together for us! They purchased pvc pipe from home depot and cut it to madduxs height then connect the pieces spray painted it black & then they added the tennis balls to the end! It was a simple DIY that again I felt really tied the outfit together! :)

 

I don't know what made me go into Build-A-Bear to look for glasses but I'm SO glad I did! They fit his little toddler face perfectly! I hated how all the other glasses were falling off his face & he hated it too!

 

 

The Balloons::

We used about 15 balloons! We blew up them ourselves with the helium tank we then tied them to the ribbon and attached that to a clip that made it easy to attach or take off of him when getting in and out of the car.  Other costumes I saw simply had the balloons attached to something else that wasn't part of the outfit and they would sit them in the pictures but I wanted people to get the full effect whenever they saw him so this is what worked for us!
