Crazy Game Day & Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats

It was crazy game day here today~

Daddy cut the sleeves off of one of his shirts, and my boys decided to put the sleeves on their heads while watching the SF baseball game!
K wanted the sleeve to be turned into a ghost mask, and then he decided to add his goggles!
Nice costume son! Lol, he's so stinking cute!

We are meeting K's buddies at the pumpkin patch tomorrow, and I wanted to try and make them a treat. I decided to try pumpkin rice crispy treats.

I found a picture of these on Pinterest and thought they looked really cute. I added orange food coloring to the melted marshmallows.
The trick to forming the pumpkin shape is to wait until they cool off. I tried to form them into a ball while they were still warm, and ended up wasting a lot of the batch that way.
I also cut tootsie roll candies in half and added them to the top of the pumpkin.

Then I used black frosting to create a smile on their faces.

Again, wait for the frosting to dry before putting into a bag! I was in a hurry, and not very patient with these treats. But, now I know for next time. I will also get green frosting next time to add a leaf to the top! I like how they turned out! A little unexpected treat for some sweet little munchkins!

Shaving Kit

I ordered another shaving kit for K since his last one broke. I intend on getting a picture of him and his father shaving together before K gets any older. Here is K practicing his shaving:

He loves his shaving kit! He has been asking for another one ever since his last one broke about 6 months ago.






Breaking Eggs all by himself

My son told me he is old enough to crack eggs all by himself:

And he is. He cracks his own eggs now.

He wants to have eggs for every meal! He made himself scrambled eggs four times this week, and only once was there a small piece of shell that fell into the eggs. Ugh....he's getting older....I don't want him to get older yet....

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday today! We went to the grocery store after school to pick out a cake for Daddy. K picked out some very nice cupcakes:


Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy and K both blew out a candle in their cupcakes!
 
We had a quiet night at home. K and I made Daddy a nice dinner. Then he watched the game, while K and I played with Makena. K enjoyed watching Makena follow the light from his flashlight.

I found this picture when I was downloading my pictures to my computer, lol.
I wonder who took this?

Kisses

Ahhhhhhh!!!!! I've been wanting to take this picture for over a year!!!!!!!!
 

 
I LOVE HIM!!!!!!















Painting on a canvas

K and I have been working on a project for his playroom:

This is just a sneak peek since we are only half way done. We are going to paint 12 small canvases to hang up in K's playroom. K has participated in the creation of the 6 we have done so far! I'm really excited to be working on this project. I bought all the supplies months ago, and have been trying to find the time to get them done. Hopefully we can finish them up by next week, and I can get some better pictures on here. Yay! Progress!!

School Work & Dinner

K is learning a different letter of the alphabet each week. Here are two pieces of art work from the last two weeks:



It was a Mexican Casserole kind of night! If I put sour cream and olives on K's he gobbles it right up! 

Yum, my favorite!
