SpOoKy TiMeS

I'm totally bummed that we have missed a lot of Halloween this year:(

Example 1 ~ We had to take down ALL fall/Halloween decor early to pack it up so we could move.
Example 2 ~ No cute & scary crafts.
Example 3 ~ No spider cookies or ghost treats.
Example 4 ~ No pumpkin carving.
Example 5 ~ No handmade outfits (well really just cute festive shirts) for the girls.
Example 6 ~ This list could go on & on so I'll stop here!!!

Before you start feeling too bad for us, we have had a ton (seriously almost a ton) of pumpkin bread & cupcakes (yummy, with cream cheese icing).


We did manage to SQUEEZE in the Spooktackular & I think we picked the chilliest night to go!!!
We had loads of FUN & got like 15 pieces of candy (cheapskates).
The Mr. couldn't make it so we opted to bring our friends & we are SOOOO glad we did!!!

We went as SUPER HOT MAMA'S!!!!



Little Ruby Anne went as..... well she went

as little Ruby Anne!!!!




Braden went as a tough Dinosaur!!!!

Ryder went as a Super Hero, Rock Guy!!!



And these 3 little sassy girls where who

else but Hannah Montana & I

have to say they were "wiggin' out"

all night, LOL!!!!

FUN night had by ALL!!!!!

Countdown

4 days and counting, YAY!!!!!

I have a TON of things on my To-Do List & I can't wait to get started!!!

This week is going to be SO SUPER BUSY & truthfully I am so EXCITED about it!!

I cannot wait to get back home.

Mmmmmmmmm

 

Awwwww, his 1st date!!!

Ryder went on his 1st date tonight, without his mommy's presence.

Where: Honk Jr.

Date: 10/9/08

Time: 7:30 p.m.

His Date: A little cutie

Of course we love his date, it's his sweet cousin Lilly!!!

I hope that we are always as comfortable with his dates!!! Well... I know that will not be the case because he will not always double date with his Nana & Papaw nor will his date be his cousin (not gonna happin', I better start preparing myself now, tear tear)!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

 

Today has been the most GLORIOUS day, I have had in a while!!! We went on a little adventure today & it was SOOOOO much FUN!!!!! I let the girls play hookie today. I feel just a tad bit guilty because they both had 100% attendance & Hay had a spelling test.... BUT, in my opinion 100% attendance is over-rated & Haylee can always make up her test tomorrow, so on 2nd thought, NO GUILT!!!!

We took Sassy with us & the darn dog just cannot stay out of the water. She is CRAZY when we are around any amount of water at all.

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

My FAVORITE shot of the day!!!!! Nothing like telling secrets=)!!!!

Ahhh, winding down!!!

After a BUSY weekend. Nothing feels better than this.

Kicking my feet up & just relaxing!!!
Dinner is on the stove, lemon bars are in the oven & I am doing NOTHING!!!
Side note: I have not got my hands on the remote yet, therefore Sponge Bob is on the telly thanks to the Mr.!!!

Little Things

 

I love these little girlies SO much!!!! Every night before I go to bed, I make my rounds, giving end of the day kisses and making sure everyone is snuggled cozy in their beds. And EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I find my precious girls like this!!!



SO SWEET!!!!!

Why is this taking FOREVER!!!!

I am now on week 4 of my weight loss/ 10K Training and things are still not going so hot. It could be because I stop by the bakery on my way home from the gym (gotta have bread, right??) or maybe because a friend of mine is ordering cupcakes quite frequently=) (& you know someone has to be the taste tester)!!!
I have up-ed my cardio & cut out the weights for now. I stay on the treadmill for an hour & I have been breaking up my walking/ jogging & I have increased my incline. So my work-out/ training is going fine, I am just NOT losing any weight. I know that I have probably being gaining a little bit of muscle but good grief, surely not that much. My legs are pretty muscular and I'm afraid I'm going to end up looking like the Williams sisters, LOL!!!

I am going to try weight watchers, AGAIN!!! I am really going to try & stick with it this time. I have SOOOOOO many recipes that look very yummy, I should have NO problem!!!!
I have also started a weight loss journal with my current weight, goal weight, my work-outs and how many calories I've burned and of course my points. I just started this Monday & I am already 12 pts into my flex pts, oops.
Well enough rambling, I'm off to the grocery store with my handy, dandy, point counting chart, slider thingy!!!!
