So it's been a while. School and life has happened! Life is full and busy. One of the highlights of the past few months was Halloween. When I asked the girls what they wanted to be, Anna wanted to wear her red cape that she loves, so she was red riding hood. Lauren, on the other hand, had big ideas. She wanted to be the bride of Frankenstein! The first thing I asked her was if she even knew what the Bride of Frankenstein was about. She had no idea...none of us did! So, for fall break, we found it on Netflix. Here is a pic of Elsa Lanchester as the Bride.

In it's time, this movie was a horror flick. It was completely tame compared to what is out there now. The girls and I were quite surprised. Part of it was funny even. After we watched it, we figured out her costume. We got some simple white fabric from Hobby Lobby and I made a tube skirt for her to wear. Easy! Now, the hair. That was the hard part. We searched You Tube for tutorials, and there were many. This is how we did it.

First, I curled her hair in ringlets. I sprayed the fire out of them, hoping it would hold. As curly as Lauren's hair is, it doesn't hold a curl when we do curl it.

After that, we took a cut coke bottle and bobby pinned it to the crown of her head. I made it good and secure.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I put a hair net around the bottle before I put it on her head. That way we could bobby pin hair to the bottle, which is the next step. Leave down two pieces of hair (one on each side) for the white pieces.

Once we got the hair good and secure, we hair sprayed her hair black. That was messy and stinky!

It took the entire can of black to cover those blond curls! We then colored the two pieces left over white, which you couldn't tell very well they were white. We pinned them up with the rest, and voila! The Bride of Frankenstein!

And, to top it off, we were in Petsmart the other day and found--wait for it--a Frankenstein costume just for Hagrid!!

It was the cutest Halloween costume we've done, except for this:

Pugs are wonderful!

This is from Bah Humpug- a blog about a lady and her pugs. I absolutely love her drawings! She has a new book coming out in February. It's called A Pug's Guide to Etiquette. Check it out!

Dogs

On the way to contentment

It has been almost a month since we moved back to Oklahoma City. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. It's been fun exploring and finding new things that weren't here before, and seeing how the old has changed (or stayed the same). I think we are on our way to being content--something we haven't seen in quite some time. Well, actually, never.

When we lived here before, we wanted to see what it was like to live somewhere else. After we did that, all we wanted was to be back to what we knew first. Now, we are on the third chapter of our journey...learning how to enjoy where we are, who we are with, and find contentment.

I think it will come easier. Allen and I both have jobs, his being what looks like the one he will invest himself in, and mine will be a challenge. I am excited to have my own class again and hope that I can rise up and bring success to these little ones. I have a plan!! Now all we have to do is get the girls settled in school and activities, find our home church, and we will be on our way.

This time around we are coming in with eyes open, without expectations of the same things happening again. We know it is three years since we left, and things change. We have changed. We've learned more about what we want and need, and what we can handle. I know that God can throw us a curve ball at any moment, but I also know that He will make sure we can stand up under it.

For fun, here are some things we've missed: the Princess Posse, friends, family, Braum's, the wind (weird, I know), big skies, four lane roads, city water and no septic tanks, seeing OU/OSU stuff everywhere, and carpet.

So here's to being content!! Oh wait! Penny already is...
