Shameless self-promotion!!!

I have opened a store at Etsy.com, as you all probably know! Check out the link on the left side of the blog to see what I have made lately!! If you haven't checked out Etsy.com, do it today!!! It's an awesome collection of fabulous crafters!! While you're there, check out my friend's store "Posy Pins"!

Don't miss this one...

Yep, this is Daddy letting his spoiled girl take a huge bite right out of her cake. Aparently, it's a new tradition. I can't wait for MY birthday!!!

 

LILLY'S 2ND BIRTHDAY!!

We had a great time! Thanks to all who came, eventhough the wind blew our power out! Lilly got lots of stuff that she really loves.

 

 

 

 

Gender stereotyping

So who can resist tutu's and play kitchens when they are so darn cute??? Not me. Lil loves this stuff, it's really awesome to watch.

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!!!!

We carved our pumpkins and nobody lost a finger. There was no blood drawn, no crying and only minimal whining. It was a successful Hartley Family event. I hope you all get lots of candy!

 

 

 

Lil's new hat

I made this hat this weekend, I think it turned out so great. She "no like it" but when I bribed her with a graham cracker she sat like a little angel.

 

 

How freakin great is this????

Do you remember being a kid and getting your Halloween costume every year? Did you love yours this much??? Sam does. He is the webslinger and, even though he has NEVER seen a spiderman cartoon, he can tell you all about the masked superhero. Where does he get this stuff!!!! He insisted on wearing the costume all night last night. I had to draw the line at wearing it to bed. He jumped all over the furniture and snared Camper and Lilly in his invisible webs, fighting crime wherever it was lurking. He even wore the mask in the car to school, maybe I SHOULD send in that Mother of the Year form....

 

Random pictures from the last few days

The first picture I just thought was nice of the kids playing with this super cool set of blocks I got at the resale shop. Sam really likes building things and we have had a great time with these. In the second picture, Lilly actually hoisted that basket into the chair and climbed into it while I was sitting right next to her. I never noticed, I was busy doing something else, like filling out my nomination form for Mother of the Year.

 

 

By the way

This is what happens when you get your kids home from the park and give them a bath to wash off the hateful sand,...
