Halloween, Applique and Football

Meet Mr. Giraffe. He loved his costume, and I ended up having to hide it so he wouldn't ruin it before Halloween.


I wish I could take credit for this costume, but it came from our friend, Jackson, who grew out of it before he got to wear it. Thanks again Mindy and Jackson:)


Here is the costume I bought him. He liked it too. I found it for $3 at a consignment sale, so it's okay that it was almost too small for him.


He wore it as we handed out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.

In other news, November is flying by around here.


We've been spending lots of time outside.


We voted.


We celebrated Daddy G's birthday!


I spent some time with the embroidery machine.


We're watching lots of football on Saturdays.


And poor Bailey is being tortured having fun with her little brother.

I spent most of Trent's nap yesterday making Christmas lists, and now it's time to start shopping! I'm not a black Friday kind of gal, so I am hoping to get a lot done in the next couple of weeks. I need to read some Favorite Things posts to get some ideas!
