Serpents, Lizards, Tail of a Rat

I put my Fall decorations out at the beginning of September and while I was doing it I kept eyeing my Halloween decorations...I decided to just go ahead and put them all out at once. Because of this I've been so into decorating the house for Halloween. I literally would not mind at all if my house could look like the Haunted Mansion at Disney for the next month and a half!!! And a visit to Martha online didn't help either...I have been inspired!!! NOBODY does it better than Martha!!...

Large cat silhouettes are being made to put in unsuspecting places...

Hilarry has been glittering pumpkins for years and I've always wanted to join in the fun....and I finally did, except mine are black...so scarrrry!!...

We now have a bat wall also...

On our kitchen table we also have a witch's brewing station with old bottles labeled with spine chilling ingredients...

While decorating Rett looked at me and said,"Mommy, stop decorating it's starting to freak me out."....I think that's a sign I need to stop!! I surely don't want my kids frightened to be in their own house!!


The best Halloween book EVER for kids....We have spent so much time sitting together to find spooky skulls, bats, scorpions, frogs, etc.

Although all the pages are beautifully spooky enough to be framed, this is by far my favorite...I want to walk down this street and go trick-or-treating...

Busy Busy

To get ready for the baby there were some things that needed to be done...

-get Rye to sleep in Rett's room on the trundle.....check
-move Rye's clothes into Rett's room....check
-rename Rett's room to "Boys room".....check
-go through bags and bags of boy baby clothes and give away....check
-move Rye's old furniture out of his old room, take pics for craigslist...check
-get Emree new furniture to replace dressers that will be used for baby...check
-move empty dressers into baby's room and set up matching crib...check

WOOT-WOOT!!! We did it!

And you wouldn't believe the furniture that we found for Emree's room!!! After some redecorating I'll post pics...
sooo cute!!!

And the baby's room...I have some ideas running through my head, one involves using this vintage chenille bear....

Me in all my glory....














Where I wish I was

Something about this time of year makes me want to be here everyday...

Tears and Teachers

It was sad leading up to the first day of school. The week before we would say, "This is the last Monday of Summer." and then the next day "This is the last Tuesday of Summer." and so forth...We made the most of it and went to Disney three times that week...yay!

FYI I don't let my kids know how much I dread school to start. So I put on a happy front for them, otherwise they would hate school and I would convince myself to homeschool them and instead we would go to Disney everyday. Probably not a good idea!

And then the dreaded (atleast for me) day came...


This is what Rye and I thought of them leaving us for seven hours...

We do miss them. But they are so happy loving their teachers, making new friends, and most importantly learning about things other than Disney!
