Progression of an Irish Wolfhound

While putting off my math homework today

I went through some pictures on the computer of my sweet baby Maggie

Well....  She was a baby here:

I fell in love with her from this pic, look at the little outline of a heart on her chest!

Not so much anymore.  It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that she was this tiny.  

Now she is a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool monster of a dog...

with the gentle heart of an angel.

(Sounds cheesy and hokey, I know

But it's so true)

I decided to throw together a quick little photo montage of the progression of our Sweet Magma to show you just how much a year has changed her....

Enjoy!

G2D2 -- DOES NOT COMPUTE! Kids Robot Costume

During the School year Tristan (my eight year-old) goes to Choir after school every Wednesday at the local Methodist church

I love it.  He learns awesome stuff and he gets to sing and dance and be creative.

Well every year at the end of each semester of school they have a big performance

And this spring was the first time Tristan ever had more that 1 line and we were so excited

Adventures in Ooo

I know most of you 

{if you're anything like me}

are totally done with Halloween even though it just happened.

So, bear with me, I'll keep it short!

I made the costumes for my kids this year.  

The prices on the ones we wanted were jacked WAY up for some reason by the time we got around to shopping for them, so i made the decision to make them myself!

This was a pretty big undertaking considering i am also balancing schoolwork and this blog and  trying to maintain the house.

I think they turned out great!  

Halloween Bunting

Let me just say, 

I Love Halloween. 

It is awesome.  It is however a little more fun when you are a kid, 

But then you have your own kids and the fun starts all over again!

Picking out costumes for them and taking mountains of pictures.

here is one of my little boogers from last year @ our church's "trunk or treat":
