we were able to eat Thanksgiving in the woods.

 Handymen:

My dad, Wesley, & Chris built this table 

the night before thanksgiving

 Yes you read right...Wesley too! 

 

We got the Pulley Bone- I won and made a wish 

that he would really start to become a handyman!

CLOSING TIME!!!!

We are closing on our house today!

Thats something to be thankful for huh?

YAY! Hand over those keys baby!

Im so excited this process will be over and we can start on the next....DECORATING!

Happy Thanksgiving!

When the husbands away....

The wife will CRAFT!! While Wesley was off hunting this weekend, I decided to make some crafts.

I started with the Ruffle Tree Skirt I found on Pinterest. I talked about it in my 

Christmas Tree Skirt post.

 It wasn't hard, but took a couple hours

Here is the link to the tutorial

 With my extra burlap I decided to make some wreaths. They do not have their bows on yet!

 I tried different ways to figure out which I liked better....the one above takes less fabric and less time. 

You may not believe it but there is 3 yards of fabric on the one below!!!

I hope with a bow they look something like this....uhhh and a better camera!

Which do you like better #1 or #2? 

Packing Up

While we are waiting to find out when we will close on our house we have been packing up.

I have been pretty excited about putting everything in boxes and thinking about where it will go in our new pad, but one thing I cant seem to shake is our Striped Wall. 

Living in an apartment means no paint; I'm so glad I found this idea on a blog somewhere.

Remember us putting the contact paper up?  I sure will miss those stripes.

 Just in case your wondering there was very minimal damage to the wall when we took it off. Nothing compared to the hole in my door from my husband and his friend wrestling one night.

Family Photos

I recently had Sunny Lee take some pictures of the little ones I nanny. This is part of the parents christmas present from me. We did the shoot in Piedmont Park, the weather was gorgeous, and the kids did great!

Here is a little peek of my favorites.

 I made these letters out of cardboard, glue & glitter.

Hopefully their mom will be able to use one of these for their christmas card

 Sunny did such a good job check out some of her other work here. 

Go Dawgs!

Woo Hoo! The Dawgs beat the Tigers!!! This is such a huge game for us, not only because we now go to the SEC Championship, but because Wife beat Husband! (all in good fun)

We all had a ton of fun, maybe too much fun, on Saturday.

So many friends came to tailgate.

 Trent, Alyssa, Amy & Jeff

Katie & Sam

 Laura Lyn, Me & Leslie

 Wade & Kate and their friends

 Family Photo
You see Wesley's parents stayed neutral!

Kate, Me & Whitney

 Meghan & Russ stopped by

 Mema & Daddycurt
The game started out with Wesley & I in the Georgia section... at halftime wade, kate & whitney swapped and let him go to the Auburn seats....too much to handle.

I dont know who's fault it was

 
Beat Down

 AND what would a trip to Athens be without The Loft

 I forgot to take a picture at the tailgate, but I managed to make a couple more cake pops for the weekend. Red velvet for UGA and the blue ones actually have blue-dyed cake in the middle.

See you in Atlanta at the SEC Championship!!!!
