DIY Halloween finger puppets



I'm not usually that into Halloween but the kids make it O so much fun! They love their quiet book finger puppets so I thought some Halloween themed ones would be fun for this year.


I pulled out all my felt scraps....


Cut some scary finger puppet shapes.


Sewed them all together...I am lazy and I used white thread for all. I also suggest sewing them all together before you start to add eyes and layers or your sewing machine foot might be too big to get close to the edge.


I used good ol hot glue to attach everything.


 Ty was helping me and couldn't wait tell we were done to start playing with them!


On the cat and witch I put a dab of glue down then laid sewing floss down for the hair and whiskers... Then I added the nose and hat to cover it up. Now looking at the witch I think purple floss would be cute for the hair.


The kids love them and they were only an hour project! I think they need a place to stay. Maybe a pumpkin or a haunted house... I'll work on it and share later.

Pizza Rolls



This is a family favorite around here. I refuse to buy frozen pizza rolls...These have so much more flavor and are fresh plus fast. Its an easy go to lunch that makes my 3 year old as well as my husband happy.


A few very simple ingredients:

1 pkg crescent rolls
pepperoni slices
string cheese sticks
pizza sauce





Easy right! 


Throw them in the oven at 350 for 12 minutes.


 Then they should look something like this....




If you want to make it a little healthier throw some veggies together and make a side salad..


Enjoy!

Ty talk



Ty is talking so much now.
 He is saying and doing things that make us laugh...
Things we want to remember always. 
Some are funny, some are mean, some sweet and some are just ridiculous.

Ty and I are laying on the bed while Daddy is in the other room. I'm cuddling and singing to him... One of those moments when I sit there and think how loving and sweet he is... All of the sudden he jumps up says "No mom" runs over grabs my stuffed animal and hands him to me... Then says "snuggle it." Sits back on the bed but this time a few feet away from me. Silly kid. I guess sometimes he just doesn't want to snuggle. 

So I think when it comes to boys and girls Ty is a little confused. How do you have that talk with a 2year old? When I change Embers diaper he runs over and says "Mommy, Ember no peanut?" Me... "Uh, No Ty, Ember is a girl. They don't have those" Just to be clear...I don't think its cute to make up fake names for body parts just to leave kids confused later. I told Ty what his man business is called he just can't pronounce it. I have made an effort now to tell Ty "You're a boy like daddy, Ember is a girl like mommy." I think that is as much of a talk we need for now. 

When we are about to leave the apartment to go outside we have to go down the elevator. At least that is how we say it. Ty says "Mommy, lets take the alligator." Pretty adorable...

I also find myself saying things like:

"Ty, don't sit on your sisters head"
"Ty, don't use Ember as a step stool" 

Poor Ember... I will say this, She will be tough! 

He also has been doing a lot of "My do it" or "No I do it"

If he needs to wash his hands and I happen to take a towel and wipe them down for him he gets them messy again, then says "No, I do it" and washes his hands himself.

Or if I put his pants on and he decides he wanted too. He takes them off says "I DO IT" then puts them on himself...

Mr. Independent lately.
