i know i haven’t been posting
so, my excuse is real…
Christmas is coming…Thursday, its coming. I’ve been busy…
I’m really excited about the things we’re making for Christmas…I would love to show them to you, but since a lot of family read the blog…won’t be showing any…at least not until January…and then more than likely, I’ll have forgotten.
I’ve decided I’m really excited for Thanksgiving this year…most years…but this year especially.
Why, you ask? (pretend you did)
family…get to see all of my family…both sisters, their families, mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, my aunt, AND cousins.
turkey…
potatoes…
football…
most of all, I get to show off my son’s new talent…
I learned yesterday that he likes pumpkin pie…a lot. He picked up his plate after eating it, and licked it.
And His new word…
Pie.

tip junkie…oh how i love you
I love, love tip junkie’s website.
I get a lot of my good crafting ideas from her site…and I get inspired. These good ideas don’t just sit in my mind’s vault.
I love her.
On that note…she’s having a 12 days of junkie in celebration of the upcoming Christmas holiday.
Did I mention I love her site?
Love. It.
An Update…my father in law asked me this weekend for the website…maybe he’ll become a tip junkie too! :)

halloween fun
Halloween was very fun this year at our house…
not only did the costumes turn out pretty good…
but we also managed to get a picture of the kids together…and believe me, this took some doing.
There was also much candy to be had…much, too much.
although he doesn’t really understand what candy is…the boy knew that if it was put in his pumpkin, it had to be good.
We couldn’t get the candy bag away from him. I really thought he was going to have to sleep with it. Silly boy.

a night at the movies
Ellie got to go to her very first movie at a theatre this week.
It only took us this long to get there because we decided to wait until we were sure she could sit through a whole movie without having to go potty, and without driving us, and those people around us, crazy.
We kept it a secret from her until the moment we got to the theatre (and oh how i wish i took my camera with me!)
I showed her the movie poster for “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” and asked her if she remembered the book…she said yes…and when asked if we should go see the movie…she started yelling “yes…come on guys.”
So like her. Ready for anything!
So, we get in the theatre and get our tickets and instead of saying thank you, she asks the person taking money for popcorn.
Oh, my impatient child.
After scoring some popcorn…we walked into the theatre to a chorus of “wow…look at this place!”
We get to our row of seats and I tell her to go in and pick a seat.
She, playing with the chairs that flip up and down, explains that she can’t climb into one because they’re tippy.
The people a few rows back find this hysterical and and asked if it was her first movie. My comment “is it that obvious?”
We did settle down, watch the whole movie, eat almost a whole bag of popcorn, and drink hawaiian punch to our hearts delight…
and when food started falling from the sky, no matter what it was, Ellie would exclaim “a chance of meatballs.”
Seriously cute.
