Just girls

I just thought this picture was so cute. I love our little booth nook. Happy Birthday to Heidi & Jenn!

Halloween

Let me begin by saying that we had no idea Sesame Street was celebrating their 40th anniversary! For weeks, I racked my brain over what Cody & I should be for Halloween. Trust me, the list was lenghty. We considered: Jasper & Alice from Twilight (the baseball scene, of course), Barney & Wilma, Cowboy & India girl, Shrek & Fiona, Dorothy & The Tin Man, etc. We just never could settle so, when we walked into the probably 15th costume shop, we finally made our decision. When I saw the Kermit costume I knew it was official...we were going as Miss Piggy & Mr. It's not easy being green!! We loved getting in the spirit so we sported our costumes 2 nights in a row. Let me just say, there is nothing like wearing a pig nose & ears to Stoney River restaurant for a suprise party where only 2 other people are dressed up! Fun times! :)

The GREAT Pumpkin

I packed "my" kiddos up & we headed to the pumpkin patch. They loved it! Well, the little ones loved it. The older ones picked their pumpkins & were immediately ready to go. The 11 year old picked a 25 pound pumpkin which, for him, is so typical. I told him if that was his choice he had to carry it to the car & he did! I love taking the kids to do things they've never done & everyone should go to the pumpkin patch!

GNOth

Nothing compares to a girls night. It's in it's own category of wonderful! So grateful for girls to have a laugh with. Love all these women! Our next gathering is the midnight showing of "NEW MOON" & we CAN'T wait!! We all have our tickets (since the 1st week in Oct) & we will be standing in line for hours. Who knows, we may bring lawn chairs if necessary! :)

Fall

This fall has been absolutely busy! I have so much to update & hope to do so before the weekend is over! Hope you all are wonderful!

Obsession

Every year as the weather starts to change with the temps slowly creeping to cool my obsession with candles always grows. I've written about this problem a few times. I just love the scent & warmth it brings to my home when a candle is burning. The soft light just makes me feel cozy. That being said, my friend January has been staying with us for almost 2 weeks while her baby boy, Jonas, is going to a specialist in ATL. She has picked up on my "issue" & has purchased quite a few candles as "thank you" gifts for us. I can't wait to burn every one of them! My house is gonna rock in the scent department!

Rain, rain go away!

"Rain, rain on my face. It hasn't stopped raining for days. My world is a flood. Slowly I become one with the mud."-Jars of Clay

This is seriously insane. I've never seen it rain so much in my life! School is cancelled, 150+ roads are closed in our county & I'm sitting in my house with a warm cup of homemade veggie soup & the DVR going! I love a rainy day but this rainy month is a little out of control. The up-side: so much for the drought! Lord, I'm looking for the rainbow. ;)
