Who Said You Need Electricity to Survive...

Well, I know we need it to survive; but we sure did a heck of a lot without it! We lost power 3 times this weekend, twice for over 6 hours. It did not stop us from doing a little picture taking, a little crafting, and even some Halloween decorating. I had a photographer come to the house on Saturday and take some pics of the kids, everything went well except for the kids insisted that our small zoo be included! So needless to say, we have quite a photogenic cat... I was hoping it would be one of my kids, but I will take what I can get!
Here is a sneak peak of some of our pics...



I also spent some time getting ready for Halloween. We scaled down quite a bit from what we would do in the States, but we had to add a little spook!

And last, but not least...a little crafting! I have been making some gifts, clipboards, and embellishing them as best I can without my monogram machine. They actually have turned out really cute and have been well received! I only need to whip up about 6-8 more! I am also going to be making some of our costumes, as it is very hard to find costumes here . Luckily Claire has hers all ready, a birthday present from Mimi and Poppa!
