Project 365 {2013} - Day 303

 I started out the day getting Devy ready for her costume parade at Preschool!

 

It was fun getting to take the day off of work to go spend time with her at her Harvest Party and see her and her school buddies on parade!

 We finished the day getting all the girls dolled up for Trunk or Treat! Brynna loves the go-to witch costume. I should go back and do a count of how many years she has chosen to pull this one out of the Halloween bucket! However, this year she wanted to be a creepy witch instead of a nice one and so she painted her face green! Maryn was a girl pirate, but insisted on a moustache. I told her that didn't make any sense, to which she replied "I know Mom, that's what makes it funny!" I love her quirky sense of humor! Lauryn and Devyn were the ladybug twins! They were so darn cute and loved their costumes!

Project 365 {2013} - Day 302

I must be getting old, un-fun and cantankerous. As a kid I remember squishing pumpkin guts between my hands, taking in that smell of a raw, just-opened pumpkin and scraping the inside walls with all my might. But as I have gotten older, admittedly, I am not a fan of carving pumpkins. Luckily for the girls their Daddy is still a good sport! Tonight, my Little Women scooped our pumpkin's guts, Justin carved a spooky cat face, and my contribution...well, I snapped a blurry pic. Hey, maybe I will do better next year! ;)

Project 365 {2013} - Day 259

The girls with their buddies the Vickery's!

The girls are on Fall Break this week from school. Instead of heading out of town, we decided it would be best to stick around. The girls had a blast today having a much wanted lemonade stand though. I made Rice Krispie Treats for them to sell and they made Rainbow Loom bracelets. They ended up earning about 20 bucks and more importantly had a blast just being outside, hanging out with friends! I decided that kids don't need big fancy vacations. They just need a chance to unplug and be kids!

Project 365 {2013} - Day 207

Fridays take it out of me and today was no exception. But the silver lining is that by the time I get off of work, I am ready to just surrender any to-do's and collapse with my Little Women for a snuggle fest. It is definitely a highlight of my week!

Project 365 {2013} - Day 163

Some days are better than others. Today was one of those days where you just shake your head and wonder if you will ever catch a break. If the cards will ever spontaneously want to magically start working in your favor. But if getting older and going through experiences has taught me anything, it's to stop looking for ease and start looking for the good. So tonight I did just that and realized that I don't have to look too far to be surrounded with all kinds of good.
