Halloween!

Yes, it is THAT time of the year! I could not WAIT until October 1st to start decorating. I had such big plans for Halloween decorating. (I still do, and have more)

 I got these at the dollar tree for 1.00 a piece. They even light up. The dollar tree is my new addiction for cute little finds!
 I could probably wrap everything in spider webbing!
 Daddy helped him decorate his window!
 Another dollar store find. I really love it, and there are a few more I'd actually like to get ;x
 1st Halloween craft of the year!

And, since we are on the Fall/ Halloween subject (aren't we??!).. why not??!

 These are hands down the absolute best pumpkin flavored anything I've had. The spice in there, the pumpkin is there, and the cinnamon sugar topping just MAKES them. I found this recipe posted over at Lattesandcouture, after she posted this deliciousness over on her instagram. The original recipe can be found here.




I really am alive..

I'm really alive, and actually have an update, not reviews! (though I do love doing the product reviews!) I'm actually going to make a few different posts.

We have been doing the usual, lately. Tomorrow we leave for Michigan for my brother-in-laws wedding. I'm the mistress of ceremonies, and I'm pretty excited to be involved in the wedding. The only other wedding I've been to was my parents, when I was like, 7 or 8 I think. I got my dress and shoes last weekend, and I love them. I got a purple dress, and gold shoes. I got my shoes at Ross, for 18 bucks, and they are nine west. Score! They are actually like a size too big, but they *work* without being uncomfortable, haha. Cody is going to be the ring bearer. I'm so excited to see my little men dressed up. Nathaniel looks great in his suit, too. He has a pink tie, and it's sort of funny, lol, but it looks really good.

I've been cooking quite a bit lately. I've got major love for my crockpot lately. Chicken noodle soup, green chile chicken, hawaiian bbq chicken, pot roast. I've made a few things from pinterest, as well. Shredded chicken really bothers me for some reason, even when I make it myself. Nathaniel has loved everything, though, so it doesn't bother me to cook, even if it's not something I fully enjoy. I make a lot of homemade breads and rolls with meals, and I usually fill up on those.

Cody is doing pretty well in school. He is still kind of behind, and part of me thinks he wasn't ready for regular kindergarten just yet. Maybe he is, I guess I just fear that kids will pick on him since he is still a bit behind other kids his age. He is insanely smart, he's just kind of hard to understand sometimes, still. We have been doing his homework together, and I got behind this week, since today is his last day until after our vacation, and we had to do it this morning before school, but we made puppets!

(he added mouths and stuff, but i wanted to snap a picture quickly)
