Buildings and Halloween

Hello! So this Halloween had some fun things going on. Kam is taking some construction class and he had to pick a dream home, write up the blue prints and than make a model of it! How fun! Lots of work too! So on Saturday we started working on this house at 7:30 am and stopped at 7:45 that night! And I think we took one break to go to Michael's to get supplies. But here are the stages....
Stage one: Cutting cardboard
Stage Two: Putting the cardboard together to make a two story house
Stage Three: Painting and Porches

Final Stage: Roof, Landscape and trying not to be distracted by the world series going on in the background (actually had to turn it off :)

The Back

The Front

It was a lot of fun actually and took until monday night at 10pm to finnish. Hopefully Kameron gets a good grade for how much hard work it took!
So I wanted to post some halloween things, my little ghost is think is cute. I got the ghost from Kam's mom and I had some spray paint and wood laying around.

And I just wanted to take a picture of this little pumpkin I got. I thought it was so cute! Just fits in the palm of your hand. So Cute!

We had a craft day for reliefe society and I got to make a sign with our last name and firsts names on it with the est. june 22,2007 on it. I really like how it turned out! Vinyl is so much fun!
Oh and these are my cupcakes. Why is that things seen on the internet or in books always look better there than when you actually try to make it yourself? Atleast that is the way it is for me sometimes. Lets just say these were A Lot harder than I thought they were going to be. Egor back there, the green wasn't bright enough but it was too late, and the little devils were a random idea. Haha but it was fun. And I think it is important to have the right tools to do cake decorating. And of course they were good to eat!
Last picture is of last week. It got super cold on wednesday and actually ended up snowing! yay. I just wasn't prepared to have to scrape my car off after work, but you do what you have to right? Just a prep for later this year I guess. But it has warmed back up so all the snow is gone and I'm going to enjoy that last few warm, snow-free days.
So things are going good. Kameron is ready for the semester to be over and itching for his elk hunt which is coming up on Thanksgiving. He and Cade are out scouting any chance they get. I'm getting nervous for my medical coding class coming up in January. My facts job (an afterschool program for flagstaff schools) is going good. A little frustrating sometimes, but it's good. Kameron is doing great in school! He has gotten the top test grade a couple of times in his one class! We are still trying to hold off turning on our heater, so we get all bundled up at home and than when we go somewhere we get all hot cause it's really not That cold. Yet....
