Weekend Recap

We had a very busy and fun weekend! (mainly saturday)

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to head to the Dewberry farm with lots of family. We came home and I made some snacks for the kiddos. That night we had our annual Delcampo family pumpkin panting and carving.

Let me overload you with pictures of the day!! :)

The Indian Game

Addie learned how to play the Indian game and LOVES it. It started with me patting her mouth one day while she was making sounds. She thought it was hilarious, and I tried to teach her to do it herself. She learned but uses the  back of her hand instead of the front!!! So Cute!!
I tried to capture a little video of her doing it. She usually does it a lot more, but was distracted by the camera. Here is a little bit of what I could catch.

Side note: She loves watching videos of herself, so we have sat here and watched it a few times as I'm posting this!!

A Day of Crafts w/ the Mom to Be

Ashley Kivch and I spent a wonderful day together today. We started off with a pedicure and lunch at Jason's Deli. Then we headed over to Hobby Lobby for some supplies for craft making.

I'm normally not much of the crafty type, but had a lot of fun today learning to make some things. As it turns out they are all really easy, and I may just be becoming a Do it Yourselfer.

First we made Tutu's. I made Addie one to go with her "My First Halloween" onsie.
Isn't it cute, and it was so easy, we were done in minutes. I'm thinking she needs tons more, right?

Then I made her a Bow holder. Currently they have all been in a Bow Basket. This is much more organized. All of the bows that are sewn onto headbands and the plain headbands are still in the basket, until I get a hook. Here is the Bow holder I made her.
Before I put the bows on and After.
"Princess of Everything" :)



Ashley also taught me to make hair bows. I only had time to practice on one and it didnt turn out as well as I'd hoped. I need a little more practice before I finish one and post it, but it really wasn't too hard!!

Happy Fall

Adam and I took Addie to a pumpkin patch this weekend to try and capture a couple cute photos!!!

I also discovered the awesomeness of Picasa and Picnik!!! They are free and have so many tools that are easy to learn for editing photos!! I played around a little with it on the pumpkin patch pics!!

I made cake balls for the first time last month, and have since made them a few more times!! Each time I think they are looking a little better!!!

Here are a couple of pics from the latest batch I made!

Yum

A Pink Berry opened by my house!!!



I have always seen people eating at them on Reality TV shows, and thought it sounded and looked so yummy. I think the name is what sounded good to me.

I tried it for the first time today, and its pretty delicious. Its a frozen yogurt place, but what is good about it is that there are a lot of healthy options, and all the yogurts and all the toppings have the calories listed right there for you to see as you are ordering.

Hopefully I'll be going back again soon to try a new flavor!!
