I have been looking at craft blogs lately and I LOVE them. These 'BOO' blocks are one of the things I found and I thought I could do. Felipe's mom wanted me to decorate their house for halloween so I got to use all my halloween decorations and then she offered to finance my block project :) We went to Home Depot and bought a 4x4 12 foot piece of wood that they cut in half so I wouldn't have to hold it on top of the car through the window. We thought we could try and cut the blocks with his dad's saw but we turned it on and as soon as the blade touched the wood it stopped moving. So who do you call? BRIAN! He offered to take the wood to work and cut it all into square blocks. :)
I think they turned out very cute. I wouldn't have had anything to blog about if Felipe hadn't insisted on taking pictures of me and my craftiness attempt.
This is called "subway art" (I learned that from all my blog surfing) Most everyone in the blog world uses vinyl letters to make it but I don't have a Cricut or other expensive machines to make that work I thought I could wing it and it turned out pretty good. You can't see some of the smaller words from the picture but the big words look nice :)


I haven't had any pictures of Coco on our blog so I thought I would just throw some in and tell a funny story about him. I have found that the easiest way to bathe coco is to put him in the shower with me. He can't get out with the shower curtain and I am already getting wet so I don't get mad when he shakes all over. This last time must have been rough for him. He won't sit down in the water so he kind of crouches down but doesn't let anything but his feet touch the floor. He was resting his head on my foot while I finished my shower. I looked down and his eyes were closed and he was slowly tipping to the side as he fell asleep standing/crouching. :) I thought it was pretty funny and cute.
He just started losing teeth and now he has a classic shih tzu over bite :) Everyone in Felipe's family tells me that it is ugly but I think its kind of cute.
