I've been a sewing fool!
I decided Connor needed a little something extra to wear!
Yes...I actually pieced this together. and it was so worth it!
My little helper will look SOOO cute in this!
Merry Christmas to YOU and YOUR'S!!
And when did my daughter grow up? (Isn't her Thanksgiving outfit too cute!)
And when did she start liking other people like her Grandpa Hootie?
And, my goodness...she's always been this cute!
And when did she start decorating Christmas Trees without eating the ornaments? 
I can't believe we are almost half way through December. I am swamped with Piggy Banks, Bake Sales, Christmas Shopping, Crafting and laughing at my 2 year old!
and I love how she is taking on her own look and doesn't look like Grandma Hooties Clone!
But she checks herself out in the mirror like Grandma...and fixes her hair!
yes Connor...you're sooo funny!
We also read books...lots of books!
Complete with a pdf pattern and tutorial. 
She is crazy...but she is my mom and I love that she can do this
because "I am my mother's daugther" and it means I can make them too!
Last weekend I did followed the suggestions found here and got to work!
I have no clue what to expect...but I've been itching to do some applique tees!
Which are also available for purchase here.
come on...you know you need one!
Tuesday night we met up with our dear friend Marissa to welcome her fiance, and the Mr's bestest, home from medic training.
I used a roll of foamboard to make the body, but the only time she put it on for a fitting was here...and it was too big.
Sorry Mel, this is as good as it gets.
Andres had a great idea and suggested Minnie Mouse. Connor loves Mickey and we already had everything to complete the look. Ok, well I didn't have the classic red polka dot fabric, but Pink is the new Red...right?
Auntie Lisa got her the ears for her bday this year and just by adding a bow-WaaLaa-Minnie Mouse!
My favorite is the goodie bag to match!
The bag was a sample tote I had with some strange logo...say goodbye logo, hello Minnie!
She was a hit!
And left the ears on all night!
The yellow shoes were white ones I had that I painted yellow.
She wouldn't go to the door alone, one of use had to take her each time
Of course we had to check her loot before she got to dig in...just like my mom used to say:
It was great! She had the whole room covered in plastic for easy clean up, tables full of carving utensils and big bowls for the 'innerds'. There were streamers hanging from the garage door, balloons floating in the air, kiddy halloween music playing, pizza to eat, cupcakes to devour, juice for the kids and beer for us!
My job was to cut off the tops and clean out the insides. Then dad did the rest!
Shannon even gave out goodie bags (big ones!) full of light-up toys and anything halloween themed! Madison did a great job modeling the treat bags.
Connor really just ate cupcakes the whole time...wasn't really a big fan of carving.
Taylor carved my pumpkin while I was on Connor duty
Andres and Taylor did a great job making our pumpkins look good!
And he was very proud of his work. The pumpkin says Connor with a scary mouth! I think we do a 'Connor' pumpkin every year!
The closest Connor got to a pumpkin was this picture.
Connor helped me paint these pumpkins
I know it's nothing super exciting, but it will get better as Connor gets bigger and can help more!
Don't worry Heidi, we won't make it too scary!
Or maybe more than a few...
