Jake and the Neverland Pirates....And Jake!

I love Disney.  I also Love Star Wars, as we all know, so the recent purchace Disney made (click here) not only makes me happy, but made my whole world complete!  Can't wait to see the new movies and (I can only hope) a Theme park??

Anyway, last year, Yoda ruled Halloween and his birthday.  This year, Jake is all about JAKE! 

Jake and the Neverland Pirates - and Jake! 

He looks so cute in his costume made completely by ME! 

Yes, I made that vest!  I so totally ROCK!

 

Anyway, here are my pumpkins!

R2D2 - I heard a bunch of teens trying to decide if it was Star Wars or Wall-E.  I think they walked away knowing it was a Droid from Star Wars but they didn't know which one. 

Who are these people??

Captain Hook!!!  LOVED this one!  It was difficult, but it turned out nice! :)

 

And, check out Jake's Booty!  Not a bad haul for only about an hour and 2 streets worth of Trick or Treating.  He loved it by the way, and even enjoyed handing out candy when we got back home for the older Kids coming by later!  It was a fun holiday!

 

So much so, he wasn't quite ready to hang up the red bandana!  That's my Jake!

 

 

 

Pumpkin Hunting!!!

This year again, we went to our local small pumpkin patch, in Downtown Humble at the Methodist Church.  It's a nice small little patch, and it's 5 minutes from our home, instead of an hour drive to a big awesome pumpkin patch, which we simply did NOT have time to do this year.  Maybe next year we will venture to a big place that has petting zoos etc., but for now, our little patch will do just fine! 

Last year by some miracle of the pumpkins, I got an AWESOME pumpkin picture of Jake.  This year, since he is a toddler, and MOVES and will NOT look at me when I have the camera, not for Anything, I wasn't so lucky.  But, him being such a cutie pie, I did manage to get a pretty good "money shot".

Hey, he's both LOOKING at me and SMILING!  So, not bad!

 

He loves to point out body parts - nose, eyes, ears, mouth, elbow, etc. 

He was pointing out the cat's Nose!

 

My Super Hero Pumpkin Hunters!

 

 

As you can see, we had fun, and a pretty good picture to boot!  I can't wait to carve the two pumpkins I have!  Jake decorated his small pumpkin this weekend for school!  I will share those pictures soon!

Growing Boy and other things...

So, I've made Jake a costume, it's really cuted!  Jake is going to be, well, JAKE from Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates!  LOVE THIS CARTOON!!!

Just a hint as to what we will look like this Halloween!

Anyway, I can't wait!!!  Except, for one thing.  I made these really cute "boot covers" to make Jake's Ropers look like pirate boots.  Well, he has grown out of them THIS WEEK!  Oh well.  We will make do with some other Brown shoes!

Halloween is less than a week away!  And, I've had a bit of fun with my nails!  YEY!

Candy Corn nails with Matte About You top coat from Essie!  Sweet!!

 

Frankenstein!  What fun!  My ring finger got messed up so i'm doing it again, so Mr. Thumb is hiding him for me. :)

 

What are YOU going to be for Halloween???

 

Gig 'Em Aggies!!!

Today at Jake's Daycare is picture day!  They have set up a wonderful backdrop with wood and hay and pumpkins and it looks so awesome!  But, the last 2 picture days have not gone well for Jake.  Two times ago (spring), he was CRYING while they took the picture.  NOT fun!  The last time (summer) he wouldn't even go on the props and they didn't take any pictures.  Oh well, we shall see what happens this time!  When we walked in the daycare they were already setting up and he almost wouldn't walk past the set up.  That's not a good sign.

But anyway, THIS is how a Toddler Boy SHOULD dress for Fall pictures!

My Li'l Aggie!  Class of 2033!!

"I LOVE MY BOOTS!" -Jake

Wait, you wanted me to look at you? 

Well, Mickey Mouse is doing the Hot Dog Dance, so you will have to wait.

Let's just hope he doesn't completely break down and cry today, maybe we will get one, but I don't have high hopes.  But, that's alright, he smiles with me when I have my camera out! :)

For that Polished Look

I have found a new love in my life!  Nail Polish!  Yes, silly, I know, but I have been experimenting with my toe nail polish since my mother MADE me go to get a pedicure a few months ago. 

And, I've also started doing my fingers as well!!  I have not recently liked having my finger nails painted, feels weird to me, but they look so cool now!  With all the AWESOME pinterest ideas on what you can do with nail polish, I had to try a few things. 

So, I played around a little yesterday:

Saw this R2D2 idea on pinterest, said I can do that! So I did.

And this is all it took to get that look!

Then, I spotted this polish at CVS, had to try it, it's AWESOME!

Sally Hanson Magnetic Nail Polish - in Polar Purple

This is so cool!  It looks different at every angle!

I also tried the crackle stuff (from OPI).  Gold over Black polish

Looks really kinda cool!

I wasn't going purple this time, just wanted to try that polish, so I ended up with this, which I do love:

So, sticking with the Star Wars Theme, since Celebration VI is just around the corner, I used Revlon's Carbonite on my toes -with Star Wars written on my Big Toes with a Sally Hanson polish pen.

I Love it!  What have you done with your nail polish?!?!?
