This {Halloween} Weekend:

November 2, 2020 | Family, Halloween

My entire day Friday was spent frosting pumpkin shaped sugar cookies.

London wanted to do a little fundraiser of her own for dance and so she helped me make the dough and bake the cookies and then somehow, I ended up with frosting duties.  25 dozen cookies and 4 dozen cupcakes later….it was done and finished and my kitchen is once again back to normal!

The kids all had friends over on Friday night which meant Joe and I were stuck upstairs, not bothering them.

During the day on Saturday….Halloween!….I worked on Etsy orders.

My shop is booming right now….tis the season!…and I could not feel more grateful about it!

On Saturday night we had my family over for dinner before trick or treating began.  Because we were soup-ed out from our party earlier in the week, we did a NACHO bar with shredded green chile beef, homemade beans, cilantro rice, etc, etc.

My cute niece won the night with her NACHO LIBRE costume.

Joe and I sat outside and passed out candy.  It’s such a weird feeling not having little kids anymore that we have to take around trick or treating.

My cute friend Melissa dropped by for a visit while we were outsdie with the CUTEST, most PERFECT mask ever for me….

Diet Dr. Pepper.  True Crime.  In Bed By Nine.

Totally.  Me. and I LOVE it so much!

London racked up 408 pieces of candy by the end of the night and we called it a success!

We went to church on Sunday and then I napped for a good 2.5 hours afterwards.  This week did me IN!

And guess what I did Sunday night?  I made my boys pull out alllll of my holiday boxes from the garage and I packed away Halloween and got out…….our Christmas tree!! Hahaha..true story.  Joe put it up so that this week we can get all of the lights on it {ugh, our pre-lit lights stopped working a couple of years ago} and then by next weekend – it will be ready to decorate!!

I don’t care that it’s the first week of November.  It’s 2020 and gosh darn it, we are going to celebrate Christmas for TWO FULL MONTHS this year!  We need it!  {I was also too tired to think about putting up Thanksgiving stuff and then tearing it down a couple of weeks later}.

We seriously could not get ENOUGH!! The boys snowboarded ❄️ we ate way too much, watched movies and laughed our heads off together. Thank you Cam and Ryan for a wonderful weekend!!❤️🥶👶🏼
“Mom, I can like dream something, and then make “Mom, I can like dream something, and then make it happen.” (💕Heart bursting in hopes that she never ever forgets this!!)

London knew EXACTLY how she wanted to create her Valentines box this year. (There’s a $10 prize involved too and she loves a good contest). I personally think she envisioned this just so that we had to eat mass amounts of fast food this past week, but whatever 😉 

I ❤️ her. I ❤️ her creativity.  And I ❤️ her determination when she has a ‘dream’ to do something. 

The best part? This morning she said “I don’t even care if I don’t win now. I had so much fun making this.” 💗🍟🍔🍗💗
