halloween was a success. i would love to share pictures but i don't know if i'm ready for that type of thing on here. you can take my word for it though, the kids looked cute! then again what kinda momma would i be if i didn't think my kids were cute. the weather held out so the wagon was a huge success and the hit of the neighborhood. my jake works so hard to provide for the family and still finds time to do little things like that. i'm the luckiest lady in the world!
the holidays are approaching. i always feel like october through january are such a whirlwind. we'll be heading south for thanksgiving in a couple weeks. i love thanksgiving. so much quality family time. and i have so much to be thankful for! i'm pretty good about christmas shopping, i get a majority done throughout the year so it never ends up piling up come december. i love buying presents for others. it makes me SO happy. homegoods and marshalls are my best friends when it comes to christmas gifts! can't forget old navy, their clearance section AMAZES me. the stuff is so cheap sometimes i can't figure out how they afforded to make it in the first place. i'm thinking i may get jake a keurig machine. he's out of the house so early that i think it may be easier for him to be able to make a quick cup on the days he's in a rush. i drink coffee too but usually not until a bit later in the morning. i always try to prepare the pot the night before for him so he just has to plug it in, but i don't know, i think those little machines are just so great!
ava wants a dollhouse... i still haven't found the perfect one but i'm on the hunt! trey and ruby are still pretty easy. trey is happy with almost anything. only if i could have a mud puddle delivered to place under the tree. and well, ruby doesn't know any better yet!
is it selfish that i do a bit of shopping for myself before the holidays hit? i just like to have a few new things so i feel good about myself and don't have to worry about what i'll wear. i keep it very simple. simplicity is key in my book. i got a great pair of boots from nordstrom. i was looking for something completely flat (i'm no good with heals). normally i resort to steve madden, i love their boots... but i couldn't find exactly what i wanted. i ended up with these. SOO comfy, i love em! i also ordered a couple pairs of flats online from target. love their flats! okay time to go.
