halloween finishing up

 Thought I outta finish up with a few more Halloween pictures.  Here is the cool nylon mask the dollar store had.  Just have to say that the dollar store has some o the best decor for halloween.

 Here is my other pumpkin.  I was going to do the brain for hospital contest but didn't want to be too gruesome...so I did it for my front porch.

 Thank goodness for Shayla coming over on Halloween so I could split the important responsibility of handing out candy to kids on halloween as well as successfully scare them.  Turns out my coat closet opens up right to the front door.  Whey shayla said the code work "trick or treat" it ment the kids looked old enough that I could jump out and scare them.  And boy were they surprised. 
   There was one kid that I scared when I jumped out behind Shayla....turns out it was Richael.  He was in the neighborhood doing a delivery and stopped by... and I scared him. He threw his candy at me.

Here is a quick little shadow I made for our attic window.  Next year richael wants to put a red light in our attic.  That will be fun.
Anyhow..that is about all for halloween. SO sad it is over.  I was soooo glad I got to hand out candy but I am so sad that I couldnt go trick of treating. 

Halloween Decor

I have a few Halloween decor I got finished this year that I have wanted to get done LONG ago but just now finishing up.

Potion Bottles

Spell Book (didn't turn out quite how I imagines but I am relatively happy with it)

Lastly...we had a pumpkin carving contest at work.  I whipped this little number out..preeetty sure we are taking this one!

2012 Halloween Costume Unveiling

YZMA

 

 

 I was tickeled pink for this costume this year.  It was going to be perfect....but Richael "did not want to be kronk." I have to say my sister Chewy first brought up the idea last year and the wheels started to turn!

 The most important part was the saggy boobs.  HIilarious. I was so proud of how they turned out. I just laughed and laughed and laughed . Giddy beyond belief. lol

He skeltons

Him....  Your lucky

Me...  Why is that?

Him.... Cuz I was going to have all your skeletons posed in suggestive and inappropriate poses when you got home but it wouldn't work cuz I realized their arms dont move.

Me thinking....I don't even want to know what poses required arms. 

funnies

Richael:  I am pretty sure if I had killed you then you would not take me back on the other side.

Me:  I don't know.  Would you have a six pack and a full head of hair? Cuz in that case I might.

Woke up

I kept tossing and turning last night.  Had creepy dreams. I finally woke up after dreaming that some guy broke into the house and was going to rape me .  I woke up and jumped!  I rolled over closer to richael where I felt safer.

Me :  babe I just had a dream someone tried to rape me

Richael just barely awake :  oh so that is how ya feel about what we did last night

Hardy har har. Whitty even in his sleep.  

Coming along

The house is coming along. A little at a time. Next project is curtains. I just barely finished this stencil in the small hallway.  Richael and I picked out the yellow and Richael painted all the yellow while I was at work a few weeks ago.  It is crazy how much brighter and cheerful it is just with the change of paint on the walls. 

Paint is quite easily one of my FAVORITE things because it is so cheap and can just changeup things anytime I feel like it. And recently I have felt very bold. Go with colors other people would never dare to put together. But I love it, it adds challenge

I just knew I had to have orange in the hallway but I needed texture I couldn't just do flat orange.  And as it turns out we had this leftover green paint leftover so I just used it.  I could see it working nicely in my mind and because my mind did not want to go to the paint store and get another color.  I mixed up a bunch of oranges/corals to get the color I wanted.  I am loving it.  ( however I was NOT loving it when I was doing that measely little stencil. Stencils are not forgiving.).

Beauties

I used to have a binder full of all the things that I love and now I am transfering them to my pinterest account and getting rido the binder.  Here are a few of the houses that I saved over the years.  The bottome one is my favorite. So old yet new looking.  Obviously I don't know how to rotate the picture quite yet. 

More Richael Handywork

This was before we moved into the place but you can see how ugly our fireplace used to be.

And thanks to Richaels handywork it now looks like THIS!! Its still not completely done...we still have a couple minor touchups we want to do. But doesn't it look SO much better!

And here is the little story behind it..... (how I got nearly everything for free).

My friend Cindy was remodeling her home. I mentioned how much I LOVED her crown molding and she told me they were getting rid of it!  I asked if I could have it and she said SURE. 

A week later I get a call from Cindy telling me that she forgot to tell the construction guys to save the molding for me and that it was all in the dumpster outside her house if I wanted to go get it.

Of course it was pitch dark outside when she called me so I strapped on my headlamp and went dumpster diving that night and pulled all the scraps out and loaded them in my car. lol.  It hung a good 3 feet outside my trunk.

Course this was LONG before we even had a house and so we stored it in our itty bitty basement home for 7 months. And as it turns out..it was a good thing I hoarded that stuff for so long..we got a headboard and a fireplace mantel out of it!

Yahoo for rich friends who remodel their homes and handyman husbands!

Chewy Weds

My MUCH TOO YOUNG sister got married this weekend but I don't want to let out my true thoughts on the matter.  Look how YOUNG she is.  I just pretend its a prom picture when I look at it to make myself feel better.  I am still in denial that I let her do this at such a young age. 
  As for Lehi., he has had many-a-threats if he ever treats her wrong.  And to those threats I add my own.  If you treat her bad I will kill you...and then with my respiratory skills  I will revive you..only to kill you again. Nobody messes with my chewy. And so help me if you move her hundreds of miles away from me like all my other brother -in -laws did with my sisters.  Much love RONNIE

Regularday

ME:  ahhh...is that muscle I feel?

Richael: NO, thats just me moving my fat around.

little ditty

Forgot to write this little ditty down...so funny.  When Richael was gone day after day after day and working on restoring the piano for me for a surprise this conversation occured between the two of us.

RIchael: I am working on a surprise for you and when you findout what it is you are going to be SOOOOO happy. That is the reason I have been gone so much..is because I am working on your surprise.



Me: Really? Are you impregnating a surrogate mother for me? That is sooo awesome I can't wait! Your the best babe.    lol.
