We have been logged in for 31 months today. It really doesn’t seem like that is possible, but it is. When we started the process the wait was 18-20 months and that really seemed like a lifetime back then. Ha. 18 months??!! Now that feels like nothing. 31 down. ???? to go.
So it took me a few days to go through the 100’s of pictures I took on Halloween of the kids and pick out a couple of good ones. Every year we go to my sister’s for Trick or Treating – for a couple of reasons. Number one - we love those kids and have the best time T or T’ing with them. Number 2 – we live up on a hill and as sad as it is, kids will walk right past our house instead of walking up our driveway to get candy. Now little to they know that I have always been THE house on the street with the good candy. I buy full size candy bars people!!! But they don’t know that – they are too lazy to come up the hill to get candy! What is this world coming to??!!! When I was a kid we would have walked on our knuckles in the snow all uphill to get to the house with the good candy (although that may explain why I’m not a size 0).
So we turn all the lights off and head to my sister’s to Trick or Treat. The little ones were so cute. Curtis was Harry Potter! Karly was a kitty cat and Hopie was the cutest Dumbo ever!!! We had such a great time.
Karly spent the night with us before Halloween and of course we ended up going to the mall to Build A Bear. Hey, I’m the aunt – I’m allowed to spoil them all I want. :-) I guess giving life to a bear really is exhausting.
That can’t possibly be comfortable. But it’s cute.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think Hopie likes chocolate pudding! :-)
On a very sad note, I found out that very good friend of mine from high school lost her battle with breast cancer. I am just in shock and so sad over this news. We had lost touch in the last couple of years but I’ve thought of her often and am very saddened by the news.
On a much lighter note – if you’re looking for a gift for someone this holiday season (and you’ll have to think of something else for me because I already have this :-) ) I highly, highly, highly recommend this cookbook:
I pre-ordered it from Amazon (click link to go directly to it!) and it graced my mailbox the other day. I sat down and read it from cover to cover!!! I absolutely LOVE The Pioneer Woman anyway and have made many of her recipes. I love (and appreciate) the step by step instructions and pictures that she provides with each recipe. I actually make my Thanksgiving turkey using her method/recipe - tried it a couple of years ago and will never ever make a turkey any other way. I’ve already made two other recipes from this cookbook and they are wonderful. Be warned – she is not a low-fat cook – that’s what makes it all so good!! Perfect item in time for the holidays!
