Project Complete

I'm so bummed I forgot to take a "before" picture.  This was an old brown desk I found at Goodwill for $30.  It practically begged me to take it home and give it a makeover!  I painted it antique white and gave it some new hardware.  Isn't it pretty?  It's going to be my new nightstand out at the farm.



I was going to distress it a bit, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  I think I like it just the way it is!

Halloween

This was a year of cheap Halloween costumes for us.  You've gotta love that!  We put the boys' costumes together with things we already had and a few dollar store purchases, and Claire's costume was part gift/ part gift card.  I think we only spent about $3 this year.  That has to be a record!


Mason was a skeleton zombie.....all his idea.  Scott and I had fun piecing his costume together.


Logan was Nick Fury....a Marvel superhero and leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.  (I learn something new everyday.)


Brady was Iron Man....thanks to a costume he got for Christmas last year.


And Claire was a cat.....the ears were a gift from our neighbor.  She loves their cat, Sweetie.


I love this one of Mason and Claire.  They look like they're practicing their "Thriller" dance.
