The kids are off, and after rummaging through our costume bin and closets all morning, the boys are now Rock Stars for the day. I have decided our household certainly lacks Rock Star attire (thank goodness), there were no gold chain necklaces or tight leather pants to be found. Owen did insist on a wig, however, while Sam opted for a short, and pretty much unnoticable mohawk with a headband. We found the only black t-shirts in the house, add some ripped up jeans, and voila, instant rockstars:
So that will have to do. Tomorrow is pirate day, oy! Or shall I say AAarrgh!
I am off to make my 10-of-the-same freezer meals for my freezer meal swap (help!) so we will see how that goes. I am a little nervous, needless to say, to cook for 9 other families in my neighborhood. I also know my kids are going to have a hard time eating other meals that they don't normally have, but the idea is to have at least 10 good homecooked meals a month. So it shall be interesting, to say the least!
Between cleaning, soccer games, and the usually hustle and bustle of the day, I hope to get some designing done tonight as I have a fun new (MINI) kit coming out soon. I have decided that I am going back to designing around photos as I scrap, doing mini kits, just to keep things interesting! I am doing a large holiday/winter collection, so until that comes out I am going to try and get out a few smaller and random things just for fun :)
Well, I am off, happy Wednesday!!! xo
What a fun Mum you are being!
The cooking for other families sounds a great idea - but I would be so worried about everyone liking my food!
Let us know what you end up with, and how it goes down with your family!

The kids look great! They show a lot of spunk and personality.
That is a wonderful idea...especially if you are swapping with 9 other families that you trust and love. And know if you like their cooking or not! :)

Love the Rockstars! But what? No leather pants around the house? C'mon Gina... who doesn't have a spare pair of leather pants kicking around?
K, now I really want to dress up for something... it's worth finding a Halloween party to go to just to get all dressed up! Can't wait to see pirate day!! :)
