I forgot to mention the excitement of our Friday night! D got the kids to bed around 7, per usual, and settled in to read the paper. He promptly discovered it was Mesa's 2nd Friday and they were doing a whole "Haunted Downtown" theme. We decided the novelty and fun were worth a late night, so we got the girls up (not asleep yet) and dressed for an early Halloween:
They had a blast with D! There was trick-or-treating, face painting (by a princess!), music and miscellaneous other fun.
Next up...my very first DIY ring sling! I got this awesome woven fabric on clearance at JoAnn last year, hoping to make something for this year with it...well what better for a carrier addict than a ring sling? I used the
pleated shoulder tutorial from
Sleeping Baby (she also sells slings), and
SlingRings, which are actually locally made but widely distributed. It's a little bigger in the shoulder than I prefer, but it works perfectly for D! It is comfy, as it's such a nice woven fabric...just don't look at my hemming job up close!
And finally, here are the cuties from just minutes ago (of course I couldn't get all three together in one picture):
(oh, the girls just got home from dance class if you're wondering about the leotards)

They look great, and so do you. I hope everything continues to go so well for you. :)
Nice sling! The tail is quite long (I generally like mine pretty short); it almost gives the impression of a sari.
The long tail was intentional - I love them long! :)
The fabric is wicked-cool!
Awesome! You guys look great. And I love that you got the kids out of bed to go the the trick-or-treat festival! Fun parents! They'll remember that forever.
