Crazy Beautiful Life

Tiny Dancer

Good afternoon!  Okay, just out of curiosity, has anyone already put up their Christmas tree and started decking the halls?  lol  It's early but I'm thinking about doing that this weekend.  :)

Now onto my reason for this post.  There's a new challenge up at the Candy Shoppe.  It's called "Team Edward vs. Team Jacob".   You get to choose which team you want to be on.  I chose Team Jacob.  To be on this team, you have to create something with the colors brown and white (even the tiniest amount) and include a heart. 

Here's what I created:

 

When Brianna was 1 years old, nearly 2, it blew me away the first time I saw her standing straight up on the very tip of her toes to reach for something.  "Ouch!" was my first reaction!  Later I thought, "She'd be awesome in ballet."  So, when she turned 3, I enrolled her in ballet classes.  I remember other parents gasping as she walked across the floor en pointe that first day.  No cameras were allowed in the studio during practice--so snapped these sweet pictures of her one day after class. :)

 
  

If you chooseTeam Edward, your paper creation needs to include the colors red and black (again, the smallest amount will do) and you have to make your creation sparkle--so grab all that fun bling bling!  

You have until Sunday, 22 November to participate in this challenge.  Sure hope you come over and join us for this fun challenge.  :)

The winner will score this awesome "Bewitching" kit from Color Me Miki.  As you can see, it includes some of the new Pink Paislee "Twilight" line. :) Yummy!!

 

I must be going now because Brianna Boo is expecting a fresh batch of brownies when she gets home from school.  That's why you never "announce" what you're "going to do" because there's always someone there to remind you when you don't.  :)  It's like when you decide to go on a diet, announce it, and it never happens and then you hear, "I thought you were watching your diet!".  Haha!  Have a wonderful day!

 

Halloween Happenings

Hi!  Did you have a great weekend or what?  Ours was awesome!  Brianna really had a blast the entire weekend, especially on Halloween.  :)  She trooped along joyously in spite of the runny nose and cough she's had for the past 4 days.  She's not running a fever, thank God, but still keeping a careful eye on her for that.  We DO NOT want pneumonia to reappear!

This is going to be a picture heavy post--I'm rolling a couple of days worth into this one post.  Haha!  Most posts will be like this from here on out.  If Jeff can catch a break and get to a computer, he enjoys reading and seeing pictures of what's going on here at home. :) 

First off, I'd like to show you what Brianna gave her little classmates for Halloween on Friday.  It was really precious.  I showed up at her school early to pick her up and brought these.  She got to pass out each little bag to her friends.  She totally loved it!!     

 

Pumpkin Carvin' 101:

On Thursday evening I seriously thought Brianna would ditch me for some cartoons and leave me to carve pumpkins all by my lonesome.  In previous years, she's wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin goo and guts. That little munchkin shocked her mama!   She dove right in there this year...had it up to her elbows and everything! lol  We had so much fun together!!! 

 

 

 

 

 
 
  

 

Here she is on Halloween in her costume:

 

It was so windy!!  No wonder she didn't want to take pictures.  Haha!! 
 

Alright, that's about it for now!
