Last year we made spider shirts for Halloween with Ryan’s handprints. He was so proud of that shirt and wanted to wear it all the time… it’s a little too small now so I wanted to make new ones. And now that we have child #2, I wanted her to make a shirt, too!
I couldn’t find plain orange shirts this year so I went with the black ones. Luckily they had Rebecca’s size, too (in the boys section). Hmm… what to put

I am terrible at cooking dinner and I *think* (hope?) that if I plan out meals in advance and know what I need to buy at the grocery store, I’ll be more likely to cook. I’m one of those people that must have a recipe to cook with. Unlike my husband, I’m missing the gene that allows you to throw random food together and have it taste delicious.
