This year for Halloween the girls wanted to be

Barbie and the Three Musketeers.

Shem agreed to the idea and I started making costumes.

In the Movie the (4) girls become musketeers.

We had all four girl musketeers plus two boy ones.

The girls were thrilled and played the  parts well.

The Big 30!

I just turned 30! I wanted this Birthday to be special.

I decided to celebrate by giving to others. 

The kids helped me do 30 Random Acts of Kindness.

I spent a lot of time planning for this birthday.

Here's what we did - 

1. I made heart hand warmers for the school crossing guard.

On cold winter days she can put them in her pockets.

2. I also made some for a family that just lost their little girl.

I called them their "heart warmers".
