Halloween Fun

Halloween was lots of fun this year! Well...I had fun. Kiley and Azuree were good sports. ;) I enjoyed throwing costumes together, making the traditional dinner in a pumpkin, eating roasted pumpkin seeds, and having an excuse to have a fun night with my wonderful, little family! We didn't do a lot because Azuree's still too young to really enjoy it. We still had lot's of fun visiting friends and family. We even stopped at a carnival that was going on by SUU just to take a look around. Uncle Christian even took Azuree down the big, blow-up slide! I think that was Azuree's favorite part of this Halloween. I would bet that it even topped being able to eat lot's of suckers throughout the night. :) Anyways, here's a few pic's that we were able to take...
 Azuree was the cutest Cowardly Lion ever!

Old Cupboards --> New Window Seats

 I am so excited to FINALLY be finished with these! It's one of those projects that should've only taken one, maybe two days tops but ended up taking about a week...or two. But I think it turned out all right.
One day on pinterest I saw a picture of some window seats a guy had made out of old cupboards. I was super excited because we had the old cupboards from our kitchen downstairs that would work perfectly!
 Before...
 After! 
 I needed to sand them down a lot. There were layers of nasty, greasy gunk on them and it had obviously been a while since they had been cleaned. After sanding them I painted them, added wheels, and then seats! Like I said, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did to finish these, but one thing that I have noticed is that when you are a mom things like this tend to take a little bit longer. :) Anyways, I'm glad to be finished with these. And now there's a little extra storage under our window. :)
 
 Here's a few more random pics...
 I put Azuree's "mullet" into pigtails for the first time the other day!

 
 I love this little girly!
