Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun and full house this thanksgiving with Nana, Grandpa Butch, Aunt Judy, and Cousin James. Nathan loved watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade balloons on TV.

We got a lot of lovely snow and had a blast playing with it! 

Nathan was very much ready to feast feast feast feast! Hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving too.

CUC Challenge - Thanks for the Memories Winterings

At Cookin' Up Creations we are giving thanks to those companies who are not around in our scrapping lives any more. I created a layout using discontinued scrapbooking manufacturer Little Yellow Bicycle's Winterings line.  For my second CUC challenge this month, I would like you to either create a layout using Little Yellow Bicycle products or you can use any old scrapbooking line that has a winter theme. 

You can see all of CUC's challenges on their forum.  A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' Up Creations Gallery.

Prize will be a $10 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....

*Any month that we have more than 50 completed layouts/creations, the prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate instead of $10.

Roar!

Nathan and I went to the Natural History Museum together for some quality time.  We saw a new planetarium show, enjoyed all of the dinosaur exhibits, and made sure not to step in lava!  

CUC Challenge - Thanks for the Memories LYB

I am excited to announce that I am on Cookin' Up Creations' Challenge Team.  This month we are giving thanks to those companies who are not around in our scrapping lives any more.  For my first CUC challenge I have chosen to use one of my past favourite lines by a discontinued scrapbooking manufacturer: Winterings by Little Yellow Bicycle. I would like you to either create a layout using Little Yellow Bicycle products or you can use an old scrapbooking line that uses a lot of light blue.

Pumpkin Spice

Fall is definitely here! It’s cold and leaves are falling everywhere. This year we have a new raking helper. Unlike most children, while Nathan enjoyed playing in the leaves, he enjoyed raking and blowing them even more!

Paw Patrol Halloween

Happy Halloween!  This year we dressed up as Paw Patrol characters -- Nathan was Marshall, I was Skye, and Jesse was Chase.

It was a little cold (though thankfully not as cold as it was supposed to be) but we put a lot of layers under Nathan's costume and enjoyed trick or treating around our super fun neighborhood.

After getting getting candy from each house, he would excitedly tell us what kind of candy he got -- so cute!

Unfortunately he did not give me a cute smile while he was in costume.  Just this painful face:

Until later that evening when he put on parts of our costumes, then I got the cutest little grin!
