Busy Busy Busy!

We have been so busy and loving it (at least that's what we tell ourselves). Dave is now officially accepted to the college and we got accepted for student loans. its been a huge blessing how smooth all the paperwork is going. Dave is absolutely excited to go back to school. Holiday hours have started so the crazy mall begins! I get to miss the first week and a half of December's hustle and bustle in the mall. Dave an I will be babysitting our 4 nephews while the parents go on a cruise. i dont know why we didnt tell them they should just take us and find different babysitters. :) It will be good for us, a crash course in parenting. Thank heavens for a wonderful hubby who helps all the time. Just wanted to update our busy lives before the christmas craziness starts!

Our family.

Life has just been a delight this week. we have received so much good news in our family and extended family. We got a surprise visit from mike & mel, it was nice to show them our house. We are almost all decorated for chirstmas! Its nice to come home and have the christmas tree lit up and feel the christmas spirit all ready. The cats are loving the tree too ( not in a good way ). Hair is becoming crazy at home, which is good keeps us on our toes and busy! Just wanted to give an update of your busy lives!

So i decided to get crafty today and attempt doing the letters noel. I found the best blog thanks to laura on a bunch of tutorials. i tried my own attempt and changed things to suit the products i had. i learned that a glue stick is not the best, use an actual wood glue. i bought it from the dollar store and found its awesome. has a thickness to it that makes it better to adhere. this isn't the picture i had in my head but the dollar store didn't carry the flat letters so i tried to create my own with letters that have a router edged.
