This years Halloween pumpkins include a cat, OMG face, Spiderman, Harry Potter and a cat-a-corn (cat unicorn). This year we tried a few different techniques on a few of the pumpkins like scraping the outside of the pumpkin and not carving it all the way through. That’s how Spiderman’s web is done and Harry’s glasses. […]

Some Easter Fun
Had some fun on Easter. Created giant Peeps for the neighbors, made an even bigger bunny in the snow, and finished off the day with a fun Peeps Jello dessert.
Happy Easter!
I have to say that face painting is amazing. They’re getting bigger and better all the time. We love it. Especially when it’s free!

Tip: Don’t buy multi-mode solar powered Christmas lights.
Solar power Christmas lights sound like a pretty good idea right? Well, they are but make sure you don’t get multi-mode lights.

Got Creative Over The Holidays
I always have good intentions to do something creative, but this year I actually got a few projects done. One is a reversible scarecrow snowman that I my wife saw on Pinterest. It’s about three feet tall and has weathered the weather pretty well so far as it sits outside our front door. The clothes pins […]
Reddit Secret Santa Was Awesome
This year I participated in my first Reddit Secret Santa gift exchange. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect out of it, but thought it was worth a try. Turns out, it was great. Now I didn’t get Bill Gates as my secret Santa, but the person who got me made me very happy. They got me […]
