This is all I have for now- taken just a few minutes after Ellie was delivered! She came so fast, it was quite a shock! We were at the hospital less than a half hour before she was born! We are all doing well- I will post more pictures later this week.

Cookies!

I have such a serious sweet tooth right now, that even though I get so tired and don't want to cook, I bake like a maniac! We just had to have some Halloween themed sugar cookies this year, so I whipped up a batch last night, waited for Dad to get home from class and then we decorated!

Excuse my lack of makeup!
Brook took the decorating VERY seriously....

And the taste tests even more serious!

Ben frosted all our pumpkins- he's a professional!

Here's our spread- Happy Halloween One And All!

Punkin Smiley Faces

This is what Brook calls our Jack O Lanterns! She's so funny! We finally got around to carving some pumpkins for Halloween- six days before the big day!

Here's Brook consulting her designer
Dad's, Mom's, and Brook's

We had a lot of fun!

An Update

First, here's a fat pic of me- this was a week ago. Probably not going to take any more from here on out! I don't want to remember!

Now for the fun stuff- I made a diaper bag this weekend!! I think it turned out so cute! I looked on probably 4 different blogs and took elements from a bunch of DIY bag patterns that I liked and combined them into one super diaper bag! I love it!
Complete with pockets and a zipper closure! Tell me what you think!

The best part? I used a cushion cover I got at IKEA for 50 cents (which included the zipper already sewn in!), an old bedskirt for the liner, and a leftover piece of fabric from my mother in law! Total cost of this project: 50 cents
