Camp Day 3...We made it!

The final day of dressing up for camp is here! Overall, creating costumes was not as awful as I anticipated but I have to admit I am glad that I don't have to think about it again until next year! Today's theme was dressing up as a superhero. You could create your own superhero, or you could dress up as Batman, Captain America, etc. My girls have never been interested in superheros, so we did not have any costumes to use at home. I decided to go back to Dollar Tree (luckily I have one really close to my house)! We bought a plastic tablecloth to cut into a cape and stickers to decorate the cape. I also bought ribbon to use to attach the cape around her neck. (I cut 2 small slits at the top of the cape, fed the ribbon through, and tied it.)

My daughter decided to be a superhero that helps dogs and cats that are in trouble. She chose dog, cat, and star stickers to decorate her cape. Then, I used face paint to create a mask on her face with paw prints. (I am getting better with the face paint! I have discovered that it is easier to paint large areas with a brush. It also helps if you add a tiny amount of water to the face paint.)

Again, I was very happy with the results. More importantly, she was excited to wear her costume to camp today!

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday! We are linking up with Erika , Narci & Andrea for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted! We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud

Ladies Who Link: August Edition: Back To School Prep

Hey everybody!! Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts: Allie over at A Gal Named Al , Lisa at Coast to Coast , Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell and Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some
