A Little Bit of Everything

So, I had a wonderful weekend.  Hubby and I got very spontaneous and packed a bag and hopped a plane to NYC for the weekend.....yeah right!  In my dreams!  What did we really do?  Not much.  My weekend consisted of taking care of my sick babies.  L was sick last weekend and apparently thought it would be a good idea to share his germs with his little sister.  Fever and pukey kids always make for such an interesting and exausting weekend.  Poor baby!

I did manage to get a little sewing done, which I'll share later in the week when I'm done.  The rest of my weekend consisted of my Hubby hogging the computer so he could keep an eye on his fantasy football league (both of them) and a HUGE pot of chicken 'n dumplins.  My sis and BIL went to the Arkansas game and I guess they were good luck, because we WON!  WOO HOO!  WOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOIE! 

Does everyone have their kids' Halloween costumes in order?  Here is my dilemma with Halloween costumes.  I'm cheap.  I don't want to spend $25 on a costume they'll wear one night.  I used to buy my kids a new costume every year, back when I only had two kids.  Now that I have four, I just can't spend $100 for one night of wear.  So, I usually end up transforming real clothes into their costumes.  J was Mario last year.  Instead of buying the $20 costume at Wal-Mart, we bought him overalls and used a red shirt and hat he already had.  This year he decided he needed to be Luigi.  I found a green shirt at Target for $5, but I couldn't find a green hat.  So, my Hubby suggested I dye a white one.  I found a white cap at Wal-Mart, but the only dye they had was Lime Green.  Hmmmm.  So, I decided to paint his hat with craft paint that I already had.  It's not perfect, but it's gonna be dark anyway, right?

Again, not perfect, but cheap!  It does need a few touch-ups though.

I have one more thing I want to share with y'all today.  My new friend Julie sent me this picture of the Witchy Feet shirt she made for her daughter, Lindsey, after seing my Witchy Feet Tee. 

Didn't she do a great job?  It's sew cute and Lindsey is ADORABLE!!!!  Thanks Julie for sharing this with me.  I love it!
Hope everyone has a great day.  I'm off to stalk my little one with the thermometer.  Don't forget the Willow House Party and Giveaway is still going on.  Click here for details. 

What did y'all do this weekend?
