Halloween Hater. . .

HALLOWEEN! 
I have never been a fan of Halloween, yeah when I was little and dressed up and got lots of candy of course I loved it, but since I have stopped trick-or-treating it is not as fun. BUT this year I decided that needs to change, its such a fun holiday if you let it be. I mean it doesn't have to be about getting candy and scary things. I am going to decorate my house with "cute" decor for Halloween. HAPPY pumpkins, HAPPY ghosts, HAPPY bats etc. My kids have already colored some pumpkins, but I am waiting for a little bit longer to put them in the window. 


What really inspired me to stop being such a party pooper about Halloween was a magazine I picked up at target, and when I say picked up, I mean I put it on with my moms stuff since I wasn't buying anything... only for her to say later, "Oh, looks like I bought a magazine." Yeah thanks Mom! Well in this magazine, there are TONS of cute ideas on simple ways of putting a fun touch of the good ol ghost and goblin spirit on your home. So I got all excited. I can do this! AND THEN, I decided to completely step out of my comfort zone and throw a Halloween party! (Let's be honest, entertaining people my age terrifies me, but I think I can handle kids) So its going to be fore kids. Can't say what exactly I am planning because it has to be a surprise for my other mommy friends. But I really hope that everyone who can come has fun. All I can say is, there will be goody bags, who doesn't love a goody bag? :) 


Well I think that about sums it up for my Halloween excitement. I will take pictures of our decorations when we get them up! HAPPY FALL (almost) to EVERYONE! :)

Boiseeeeeeee Staaaaaaaaaaate

 

 YAY! It's football season, let's be honest here: NOT MY FAVORITE. I mean I love watching BSU games, but every football game that is on, back and forth through multiple channels, being on the computer checking scores of fantasy leagues? Seriously? If anyone knows Brett, this is how we will be spending the next few months... MAYBE. I mean the guy works almost 2 full time jobs, and goes to school (online, but still). HOW DOES HE FIND TIME TO CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL? I love that he loves sports so much, I just don't get it is all.

Needless to say, we MUST wear blue and orange at this house on BSU game day. Which is fine with me, no picking out clothes, its already planned. :) I bought the kids both a cheap BSU shirt for as cheap as possible at Walmart, but Brett thought they were "lame" so we were going to go find a jersey for Braxton, and a cheerleader outfit for Brooklyn at  JC Penny or something, well we found out there is a Bronco Shop right by the JC Penny in Nampa! Yeah, we went in... yeah we spent lots of mulah, and no we did not get the kids different stuff.. HOW did this happen? Well they didn't have jerseys in the right size for Brax-man, and NO cheerleader outfits for Little Bee were anywhere to be found, so we spent more money and went to JC Penny to get them. Sounds like a waste, but they were excited, and they looked cute, so whatev! I painted my nails blue and orange and Brooklyn was not about to be left out of the new nail color fun... so we are matching :) I know her feet are much cuter than mine!

We had to go to my parents store we we could show off our babes, cause we think they are cute. I had my mom take a family picture of us, even though there were 2 of us, not to name names or anything... that did not want to participate.. Seriously people? I don't ask that much. A little smile here and there for the camera wouldn't hurt. Punks.

Sweet Summer Nights

Sometimes in the evenings before my kids brush their teefs (teeth) and go to bed, we go outside and play for a little bit. It was so nice a couple of evenings ago I couldn't help it. First we pick up all the balls, toys, and any other things that may be attacked by the sprinklers and put them away, then we play. They love going down the slide when they are wearing footy jams cause they go really fast. Its cute. Its really just fun to run around out there with them for a few minutes before bed and they LOVE it of course, so I took a few pictures. They were having a hard time being willing to let me take any so I didn't get many, but you get the idea.
