A day to look forward to

With all the craziness in my life right now, no wonder I look forward to the weekend. Overdue quality playing time with the kids, sleeping in...wait that never happens, homemade breakfasts, fresh air, maybe throw in a pointless 5 minute nap on the floor when the littles are trying to play airplane on you. It's all that I look forward to. No agenda no expectations. So today we did just that.

Got a much needed phone call from a gentleman that asked for my thoughts and ideas on a. Haunted house he is doing for a fundraiser. Um YES! Since I had to cancel my own haunted house this year cause other things have made me too busy to do so. And what was his theme? Insane asylum! Just like mine. I suggested he come over so we could really go over what I could help out with. He displayed a layout of a empty house that the owners are letting them use. How cool!? He then told me he has been following my halloween Pinterest board, YES! So we planned and I suggested and I gave him the props I had to use. I won't be in charge of this event but you better know I am helping out as much as I can. Yay!
So since we had pulled out the props I made last year, I then decorated the from yard a little. Just need some massive spider webs and a few body bags and I'll be complete.

It was a beautiful day today. The weather being perfect to be playing in the front. Bikes were out, sidewalk chalk, the dog...yes finally it is getting cooler. So to celebrate he change, I made a yummy treat tonight for our movie night. White chocolate covered pretzel popcorn. Deliciously creamy salty and crunchy. Perfection. Good day!

Fall

I'm too excited and relieved it's here. Summer was starting to drag and I am sick of the wardrobe. Now I get to wear these :)
