Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I still cannot believe that tomorrow starts the month of November. Where does the time go? My Nana always used to tell me that the older you get, the faster time flies. Well I am beginning to agree! To watch both of my babies trunk or treat tonight was amazing. I still cannot believe that my little man is four and Emma is almost two. It just doesn't seem real!

Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas! Hope everyone had a fun and safe night...see you all in November!

The Pumpkin Massacre

So I have come to the conclusion that a steak knife and a pumpkin do not mix. Every year I put up a fight with my husband on buying that stupid pumpkin carving kit. Well I guess he was...right. Oh man did those words just really come out of my mouth? Geez...

Well anyway I had the cutest idea to carve "THE HARTS" into our pumpkin this year. I was super excited and couldn't wait to get started. Well that excitement quickly faded when I realized that I had bought the thickest pumpkin in the Hampton Roads area and I only a steak knife to work with! Just trying to carve the top took me about 30 minutes. I know, its crazy!

Oh and I forgot to mention that it was the most perfect shaped pumpkin. It is a shame that it ended up in the trash :(

Well I got past that part and moved on to the actual carving of our family name. Why oh why would I even continue after it took me 30 minutes to carve the top?!?! But I had to! I mean I had the cutest idea and of course I wanted to blog about how wonderful my family name pumpkin turned out. HA! Boy was I completely wrong!

Instead of telling you, I will let the picture explain it all...

The pumpkin + a steak knife = a massacre

Pregnant Card Pulled!

Ummmm so I have a confession to make. I am seriously addicted to...Chick Fil A's chicken caesar wrap. When I say addicted, I really mean addicted. Four days in a row, seriously four days in a row! I so must be pregnant and going through a craving because as I am typing this I am already planning my trip tomorrow.

I mean come on! Did they just to decide four days ago to add a different ingredient? That has to be the answer. I mean why else would I crave another one just a few short hours after already eating one? Well lets count the reasons why this certain wrap is so darn delicious:

1. Ummm its so darn delicious
2. Well lets see, oh yea its delicious!
3. They have amazing caesar dressing :)

So I guess in some twisted way I am justifying my addiction and that's perfectly fine with me. I will pull the pregnant card out on this one folks!

Whose Grass is Greener?

I come. I go. I come. I go! Lord this momma cannot make up her mind! The past eight weeks have been a roller coaster on steroids! Trying to student teach and take care of my babies and myself was no fun at all. I am so glad that it is over. I truly believe that God intended for me to be a stay at home mommy. I do admit that I have taken it for granted in the past, but no longer!

I have seen that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. My yard looks pretty darn green and I am thankful beyond words. Having to wake up at the crack of dawn, rush myself and my babies out the door just to drop them off at a babysitter was a killer. Oh then I would rush to pick them up, cook dinner, bathe the dirty ones, and then sweep them of to bed. Where did the time go where I could sit with my son and play "bad guys" or watch my daughter brush her pony's hair? It was gone.

But now it is back and my heart is smiling once more! Being able to wake up and make pancakes and eggs for my little loves makes my day. You may still hear me complain every once in a while, but really....who doesn't?

I am so thankful for having a man who can support our entire family, especially in this world's economy. God has truly blessed my family and I couldn't be happier :)
