Happy Halloween!!!

We had a very fun filled weekend with lots of Halloween activities. On Friday we had our Third Annual Halloween party that was over the top and tons of fun!

This year we had such a fun crowd so we asked the parents dress up and they went all out!!! Here are some of my favorites. . .

Octo- Mom and Eighties High fashion

We had a scavenger hunt in the graveyard that was such a big hit! I think the kids did not even notice the skeleton bones, they were too busy looking for loot!

Nashville

I went to see an old girlfriend and her adorable son in Nashville last weekend. Thank You so much V.C-A. for opening your home to me with your southern hospitality! I can't wait to return!

Girls at the Pumpkin Patch

Our town has an amazing historic downtown with one of the old churches having a pumpkin patch on the lawn. So on our way home from Annelise's Mother's Day out we stopped and I got some pictures with my phone.

Busy Days!

We have been busy lately
and I have been super cafty making all sorts of things this week! Thanks to you Crystal!!! Here are some pictures of Annelise in the bandanna dresses I love to make her.

This is Julianna looking super scrumptious!I made her this giant fabric flower headband.

It has been raining this last week and Annelise loves any excuse to get out her umbrella and rain boots!

Annelise is a really good help in the kitchen! I love to bake and she love to lick the beaters, We make a good team!














She loves ballet! She had a "take a friend to class day" this week and I took Max from down the street with the girls in the car and all I remember thinking was "What was I thinking???" But they had a blast and I have recovered so it is all good!

A visit from Abuela Hirma and Tio Chuy!

My Mom brought my 82 year old Grandmother and my Uncle Chuy for a visit today. They are visiting from Puerto Rico and were on their way to Dallas to check out some museums. My grandmother just held Julianna the entire time while they just smiled at each other. She says she only likes babies until they can walk then she does not like to take care of them anymore!

Halloween Decorating!

These are random things I had around the house that I thought would look nice in flat black for my "Haunted Mansion" theme.

I think they turned out pretty cool! Can't wait to add the spider webs for the finishing touch!

The Waco zoo with the Jacksons

Today was an awesome trip to the Waco Zoo! The kids were outstanding and had a ton of fun! Annelise is in love with the Jackson boys! Thanks J for letting us use your van!

The Halloween bandanna dress I made for Annelise. She picked out the bandanna.

The Girls

This is my first attempt at blogging! I am so excited I have wanted to do this for a long time! I think it is a great way to journal the wonderful times with my girls!
