A few reviews

I've been thinking about all these things I love lately and have to give some positive reviews for a few of my favorites.
1 Fall Decorations and smells, pumpkin spice wall flower from Bath and Body Works.
2. Two Rows - Fruit Cobbler. Who know that somewhere so close could have such deliciousness. It was even more exciting that we've lived here over a year and now just found it, it made it seem more like a hidden treasure discovered. You must try one yourself.
3. Sprinkles Cupcakes - I've almost tried every flavor. I get all hooked in the craze of new and exciting things. If you have to stand an hour in line to get one, it must be that good right? That is my way of thinking. That's why day after Thanksgiving shopping at 5am in the freezing cold is so much more fun then any other time. I'm sad and sorry for you if your not in an area where you can get one of these. Should you ever visit us, it's the first place we'll go.
4. Dan in Real Life. - This movie was such a delight. Squeaky clean and hilarious especially if your future will involve a teenage daughter. Go see it if you haven't already.
5. Wal-mart paint. For all of you anti-Wal-mart people out there I'm sorry it's at Wal-mart. It comes in a plastic container with a screw on lid. It's genius because when you take the lid off it's a little bowl perfect for touching up with. I've been getting my paint at Home Depot forever and paying twice as much. I really think it even covered better and was overall better paint (it could just be the savings or fun plastic container swaying my opinion). Again, sorry it's at Wal-mart for you haters.
6. The "Buy it Now" option on Ebay. I've been discouraged to many time being out bid or paying waaayyy to much because the bidding up becomes a game for me. The "Buy it Now" option was made just for me. Find the item, click, buy, no waiting, no stress, not so compulsive buying.
7. Reading blogs. Here is why I never post, because I'm always reading all of yours. The blogger world has exploded and so many friends and family have joined me on the bandwagon. There really isn't enough time to read them all as often as I wish I could, and that really leaves no time to ever post. All of you lives are so much more exciting to here about. I really love it.

Halloween!!!

Presenting...Queen Frostine, Princess Lolli and Mr. Mint

I really do love this holiday. The purpose is pretty lame but I can't help but love it. The decorations, the food, the costumes, it all makes me so happy.
Here are some kid pictures. I've yet to figure out how to get a good one with three kids but when I do I'm enlarging it and framing it. This is the best we could do.

Mason looks like he can't possibly put down another candy bar (but he did, many more). Mason loved every minute of the night. He had his cute little bucket that he dragged everywhere. We kept offering to pack it for him but he refused to turn over possesion. At one house we got these Star Wars plastic head filled with candy. You couldn't see the candy inside and Mason thought it was just a toy. As he would walk from house to house he'd sort through his goodies, find the "toy" and throw it out saying "not candy". Each time Chris would pick it up and put it back in his bucket and each time Mason found it he'd throw it back out "not candy".
Charlotte picked out there costumes. She came up with the idea all on her own that they should be the Candyland characters. It was a cute idea and since you can't buy those in the store we had to get creative. You sure can go a long way on a costume with some fabric glue and tape. I didn't want to dress up like Grandma Nut and we couldn't convince Chris to die his hair pink and be King Candy so we settled for the iron on t-shirts of the gameboard.
