My Little Astronauts

My Little Astronauts







I had so many ideas to create for our home when my mother was here-an extra hand with the kids.  She unfortunately ended up in the ED  several times and hospitalized twice.  Needless to say all extra activities were put on hold.  The week was challenging and unproductive.  I was trying to fit in sleep time, much less craft time.  I had posted earlier some ideas for inspiration.  I wanted to to create the black and white wreath.  When I did get to the craft store the wreath was not in stock-although I bought the yarn for a later time.  The Halloween get to together was fun and trick or treating successful.  I ended up with a "Beetle Juice" punch, mice on the stairs, and several arrangements of spiderwebs and rubber spiders and mini pumpkin groupings in our home.  I cleaned the day before while my husband and little girls went to the neighborhood parade.  A good friend of mine helped the morning of the party.  It all came together.  My mom is healing now back at home and has improved greatly.  Now it's November: Thanksgiving prep time and really short days-we set our clocks back tonight.

Halloween Pre Trick Or Treat Party Inspirations

We are planning on having friends and their little ones over for a "Pre-Trick or Treat Chili Night".  My friend in Michigan had this tradition and I wanted to continue it in our new home.  Halloween weekend will be our one year anniversary of taking possession of our current house.  A super big blessing!  We love our home and the neighborhood it's in.  How better than to celebrate with new and old friends!  I have been researching holiday decorations online and, as always, enjoy crafty ideas from both Etsy and Martha Stewart.  These are just a few images from my inspiration board in regards to decorating our home.  We are working on a tight budget-nearly none for this kind of thing-so I wanted to create it myself.  Something fun that costs a little.  I love the black and white wreath, that is a must!
