More Tutu Fun!

Made Mini Fox a new kind of tutu. We decided to change her costume, from my original idea so I got to make a new tutu. I didn't make a tutorial because I wasn't sure if it was going to work. But if I do it again, I'll definitely make a tutorial and it will be better, since this one didn't turn out perfect, and I know how I can make it better. But if are just itching to make a tutu, then I sort of followed this and this.

It came out almost perfect, I won't tell you the imperfections, cause it still works, and I'm sure she's only going to wear this once...so why spoil the fun?

 

This was going to be her costume:

 

My little pumpkin

 

And then I just decided to have fun with the tutu, since it was already made

 

 

Happy Halloween. Stay safe, and I'll post what our family theme is tomorrow! So come back and see what I used that red tutu for :)

Halloween Project

You know I had to do something, I can't remember where I saw this, so I can't give anyone person credit. But here's our version, simple easy to do. We did 6 of them in about 10 minutes. It only took 10 minutes because Baby Fox kept wanting different colored feet, and we'd have to wipe off the last color to put the new color on.

Happy Halloween!

Tutu Fun

Remember the tutu I made? If you forgot, it looked like this:

I told you that it was part of Mini Fox's Halloween costume, but last minute, we decided to change her costume, but I couldn't let this perfectly cute tutu go to waste, so I did what anyone else would do, cute photo shoot with my girl!

So her original Halloween costume idea: A cute little pumpkin!

Big Brother wanted in on the action, his hat was from my brother and sister-in-law, it doesn't quite fit Mini Fox, so naturally I put it on Baby Fox

Those cheeks...I die!

 Brother and SIL also sent this onesie for Mini Fox, of course the tutu went perfect with this outfit too, so...another photo shoot!

Nana bought the cute headband and shoes

 

Now you'll just want to wait for her actually Halloween costume, I know you can't wait.

Hint: Mr. wanted a family theme, like the last two years (1 and 2), that's why we changed Mini Fox's costume

Swiss Cheese House

Hey sorry I've been MIA lately. The simple slab leak turned into a complete re-plumbing job. This is how my house currently looked last week:

The plumbers came and just threw everything into one room, literally

I about had a heart attack when I saw all of these holes in my walls and ceilings. The amount of dust and dry wall floating around is insane, I might go insane trying to clean it all up.  On a positive note, our water gets hot mega fast.

Life Lately

Everyday I want to blog, and then the seconds, minutes, hours just wiz by me and suddenly it's dark, we're eating dinner and trying not to fall asleep in the meantime. We're in full blown wow, I don't remember having a newborn being this hard phase. Hopefully we're in the home stretch, but as of now that looks unlikely.

We're still alive and well, so no worries, I am thinking of you guys and hoping to get back to your regularly schedule programming soon. Here's a picture of my Mini Fox, when she finally decides to fall asleep, which during the day is few and far between.

Last night I went to my parents for dinner, Mr. decided to stay home since little miss was let's just say fussy most of the day, and I was out bonding with Baby Fox, so I decided he deserved a break. But when I got home I found this:

and

 

it doesn't look like much, but these two tables were a mess when I left, he cleaned up, put away the laundry and just made things look nice. It was so refreshing to come home to a straightened up house.

In other news, we have a leak. It started on Friday night, and we've had our water turned off since then, yep, 3 days...we turn it one once or twice a day to refresh water buckets and stuff, but for the most part it's off. We're hoping to get it fixed sometime this week, but it's a slab leak, so it's a major job. It feels like we're camping but worse because we have real beds and stuff, but now water. Strange how we take for granted the simple things in life, like fresh water.

I am in the process of making Mimi Fox's Halloween costume:

I still have some parts to buy, I'll keep you posted. Have a good week!!

Halloween Wreath

Happy Friday!

Okay so everyday for me is Friday, but for those of you who can remember what day of the week it is, hope you have a great weekend planned. I don't have much to post, but I thought that I would re-post and remind everyone decorating for Halloween to check out my awesome Monster Wreath Tutorial. Super easy, and fun for the door too!

P.S. If you want to just buy a 6" spool of the tulle, instead of cutting it yourself, I found a good website that sells it, go there, it's only $2.95 for 25 yards, deal and a half I'm telling ya!

Weekend Recap

Hi All! I'm actually on the computer and have about 10 minutes to write a quick recap of our weekend. Woo hoo for Mr. holding Mini Fox so I can blog for a few minutes.

I survived my first day alone with the kids! I was supposed to have a couple of playdate on Friday, but everyone cancelled, boo. But I'm still here, so all is well. How could I not with these cute faces in front of me.

Yes Mini Fox is crying, but it was because she was slightly hungry, but Baby Fox was being so cute, I had to snap a picture, just as she started to cry, opps!

But then Baby Fox, leaned in for a kiss, and she forgot she was hungry, cute sibling love.

Daddy's home and he missed both his kids while at work. Picture just before swim time!

 

Baby Fox is fed and in bed and now Daddy's getting some good cuddle time with his girl. Yep this one loves awkward head positions, just like her big brother did. So weird.

Saturday we decided to go on a family outing to Krispy Kreme, show Baby Fox how donuts are made, he loved it. The last time we tried to give him donuts, he licked the frosting off and left the donut part.

This time he actually ate the donut, they give out free donuts when they're being made, score!

Mr. got his favorite, Apple Fritter

 

We let Baby Fox pick out one donut, he picked the one with chocolate and colored sprinkles.

 

 

 He decided he just liked the chocolate and the sprinkle part, picked them off, and ate just that

We also had some visitors - Mr.'s best friend and his girlfriend, they brought food and diapers...yay!

 

 

And my aunt and uncle came, this is the same aunt that helped deliver Baby Fox, and tried to be there for Mini Fox, but got there slightly too late. Doh!

 

 

She brought her famous spaghetti - this is Mr.'s third helping, I finally slowed him down enough to get a picture.

 

 

Sunday, everyone went home and it was just us again. Don't worry, Baby Fox isn't totally squishing Mini Fox, barely.

 

 

We stared at this cute face a LOT this weekend. Still trying to figure out how not to get her to throw up after eating, but I think we're almost there, keeping fingers crossed, we get SOME sleep this week.

 

 

How was your weekend?
