HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!





I'm looking forward to passing out candy to all the kids this evening! I really enjoy seeing all the different costumes, especially the cute babies! I hope everyone is having a fun & safe Halloween so far.
We have had a great time celebrating this month & Halloween.

Here is a picture of my costume for the night:


I'm a PEACOCK! :) 

Poor Nathan won't get to dress up in any costumes this year. Maybe next year!

I am a bit sad that time is going by so quickly. Tomorrow will be the beginning of November (which we are also looking forward to), but October is just so much fun!

Next is Thanksgiving!! Anyone have any awesome plans? Any special recipes or traditions to share? 

I was doing some shopping earlier (surprise), and I'm shocked at all of the Christmas stuff that is out! I don't know what is going on, but I enjoy celebrating ALL of the holidays. It seems like they bring out Christmas decorations earlier and earlier each year. Although, I must admit, I am excited to sing Christmas carols, drink eggnog, decorate ginger bread houses, etc.    :p 
Shame on me, I know.


Alright everyone, enjoy this Halloween & don't eat TOO much candy!

Boo!

Our pumpkins have been chosen!





Our creations:

Kyla's pumpkin -

Nathan's pumpkin -

Nathan's pumpkin carving skills just are proof that he really can do anything (and do it well)!!
My skills, not so much. ;p


Hot apple cider *YUM*

          
Nathan makes the BEST pumpkin seeds!


We surprised Riley with a new (more suitable) costume, he wasn't pleased.


We've been enjoying the Halloween festivities this month, as you can tell. :) We went up to the Devil's Triangle on Wednesday - and the leaves are absolutely gorgeous!!




We haven't had the chance to have our costume competition, but that will come soon!!

Hocus Pocus

Hello Everyone!
Please bare with me, while I attempt to "blog" about what is going on in our lives.
I thought this would be a better way to keep family & friends in the loop with what is going on with us! :)

It's officially FALL SEASON!

We love October. It's the month for scary movies, pumpkin carving, and costumes! (& Pumpkin Spice Latte's of course).

Our scary Tombstone in front of our house :)


Spiderwebs 



Riley's shark costume!


We were lucky enough to head into the mountains during "peak weekend":


Coming soon:

Pumpkin carving, hot apple cider, home-made costume contest!! :)

I love the beginning of the holidays!

Update on our house:

Now that summer is over, and it is getting chilly - we are halting our outside house projects.
We still have plenty of tile left over from our previous projects. We are thinking of tiling the upstairs guest bathroom as our Winter house project. So much to do, so little time.

Ok, so I'm not super awesome at the whole "blogging" thing. However, I hope you enjoy the info & pictures!
