5:00pm today

If you've never read the blog eighteen25, you sooo need to.

They have awesomely terrific craft ideas for moms AND kids

and they are starting a new linky series

called Snapshots of Life.

So they asked all who participate to take a picture of what's going on

at their houses at a specific time...

and that time was 5:00pm.

So, here's what's up:

At 5pm today I was at my sewing table working away....

trying to turn a "sheet" (my mom and I decided it was the cheapest cheesecloth fabric ever, but called a sheet by Walmart) into a beautiful dress for my little Princess Leia.

That's right, all 3 kiddos were being magically transformed into Star Wars characters this afternoon, getting ready for the big day!!

Feeling like I had poured every last ounce of creativity I possessed into my Etsy shop, I called in some backup on the costumes.

I seriously have the best mom ever and she's oober creative!! 

So, she came for the whole day...

watched kids while I went to Common Mamas, helped kids with school,

made lunch, went shopping with me for costume stuff,

AND

helped make three costumes happen!!

Thanks, mutha :)

This is me when my thread kept getting messed up in the cheapo sheet and I thought I'd have to throw the thing over Sophie's head and call her a ghost!!!

This is me when I realized it was almost time for dinner and my thread was still getting messed up.

But all turned out great...Jack appears to have never doubted me :)

The costumes turned out adorable and I can't wait to share pictures.

We did a small dress rehearsal and my mom and I were dying, we laughed so hard!!

Think...

Jack + garbage can=R2D2

Noah+ light saber + brown cape = Obe Wan (no clue on the spelling on that one!)

Sophie + scouring pads + cheap Walmart sheet = Princess Leia

So there's my Snapshot...

can't wait to share more!!
