Halloween Weekend Recap

Joining up with Cystal, Meghan, Jess, Stephanie,Jessica, & Jennifer for a Halloween costume party link-up.

Friday my dad picked me up for my allergy shots and then we headed out to Costco...and guess what? I rode in one of those electric carts, a bit embarrassing, but fun.

Saturday started out a little shaky, Baby Fox woke up a little tired with a small fever and just wanted to snuggle. I'm not going to argue with that. We had to cancel going to Baby Fox's soccer game and luckily my parents were coming to pick up Mini Fox for a day out with them, so I could just snuggle Baby Fox and not have to worry about the Mini.

Mini Fox wanted to snuggle her brother and make him all better before leaving with my parents.

The last time he slept on me he was probably 1, he mostly prefers Mr., I think it's because there is more surface area to get comfy.

Baby Fox took a 3 hour nap (we eventually moved him to his room) and when he woke up he was feeling better, so we went ahead with our Halloween plans. Out with the same friends we've gone out with the past 5 years.

This year we had a couple of other people join the group, and one family just had a baby, so they couldn't come, but it was still a great group.

The hostess made the best smoked brisket EVER!  I wanted to eat the whole thing...luckily the gimpy status prevented me from taking the plate and running.

After dinner everyone got in their costumes and took the obligatory pictures. So you know that Mini and Baby Fox were Bat Girl and Batman, respectively, guess what Mr. and I were? That's right Joker and Robin (a gimpy Robin, we kept telling people that's what happens when you fight with The Joker).

Yep that's right, hid my leg behind Batman

Out the group headed, wagon, double Bob and pink car in tow.

Since I am the one that normally takes all the pictures, not many were taken...boo, next year. Mr. did get one of my when I was full of energy and the evening was young.

The kids had a blast trick or treating, it's so fun having 2 kids walking and talking saying trick or treating. I was a little sad I couldn't take them up to the door, but what can ya do?

Of course we had to get a group shot, so much fun, meeting and going trick or treating with new people.

After we got back we let the kids basically do what they want and eat as much candy as want, Halloween only happens once a year and it was on Saturday too! Perfection.

This girl striped down as soon as we got home and ate all the candy she wanted.

PJ pick, minus some of the kids not having their PJ's on...

It was a great night and thankfully the kids went to bed late and slept in till 8:30am!

 

Baby Fox woke up with a 101 temp, not good, so it was pretty much a PJ day for us. My cousin was in the New York Marathon and did great! So cool that we could track his progress while he was running. So proud of him.

 

 

This girl wanted some snuggles this morning.

 

Who doesn't like snuggling a giant snake on the kitchen floor.

She did this completely on her own, so cute.

Mr. took her to the grocery store, and they played balloon bags.

We watched an abnormal amount of TV today, they were loving Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

And now I have some exciting news, just in time for Christmas shopping...did I just say that?

Friday Favorites #49

Happy Friday! I'm recovering well, and have a bunch of pictures for you next week. But for now, here are my Friday Favorites! OH and in case you missed it I posted Mr.'s funny responses to Betsy's questions late last night. Go take a look at them...I'll wait.

Okay now that you're back, my view has been pretty limited this week, but here are a few of my favorite things this week.

I love getting photos of the kids during the day.
 



I saw this on Facebook and it makes me ridiculously happy and want to make 100 copies of it. How about you?

I really hope that Mr. and I can be kids at heart just like this couple does.

Kids are being super good with my hurt leg, and are always concerned and wanting to kiss my boo boo better.

 

They don't quite understand why I can't tuck them in at night, but hopefully next week I'll be a bit better and can move a little more freely. Fingers crossed my appointment on Monday goes well and I get my cast and walking boot like promised.

 

What was your favorite part of your week?

Fall Challenge - Final Outfits

Last week of Alison's Style Challenge* 5 more outfits coming at ya. I got a lot of good ideas from this round of the style challenge. Happy that I decided to participate in it, I wasn't going to, but I couldn't resist! So let's get to it.

 

Day 17

 

This outfit called for a grey cable sweater over the whole thing, but I don't have one and it's WAY too hot to wear one, even during the winter months here, so I added a leopard belt to tie it together.

 

Day 18

This outfit called for an orange sweater and I remembered that I had an orange-ish cardigan, so I opted to put a white tank under it with my oversized plaid scarf. I tried to wear it two ways, which do you like best? I think I like it the first way better, with the little triangle.

Day 19

 

This outfit called for a printed blouse, so I used my polka dot one and then added this cute cardigan. I think I added the cardigan because without the outfit looked pretty boring.

 

 

 Day 20

 

My favorite dress*! Styled yet another way...I think this might be my favorite outfit of the whole Fall Challenge. Loving the big belt and the boots, now come on weather get cold so I can wear this!

 

 

Day 21

 

I bought this jacket last season on mega-sale at Target...I haven't worn it yet, but I'm loving this jacket with the pants. Such a great combo! I think it would have looked better with some leopard wedges instead, but it was still a very comfy, put together outfit.

 

 

Sorry all the pictures are a bit blurry, I don't know what happened, they all seemed to be in focus when I took the pictures...I really hate when that happens, don't you? Boo! Did you participate in the Fall Challenge? What was your favorite outfit that you wore?

Tuesday Favorites - Fall Find under $50

Hi all! Sorry a little late today. I was going to finish this last night, but my pain meds didn't agree with my stomach, boo! Feeling better today, and worked a full day, not having to take any time off of work. I'm linking up with Andrea and her Tuesday Favorites, this time it's Fall Finds Under $50. So here we go!

 

Loving my new olive pants that I got, the pictures doesn't quite get the color right, they are much darker, and a prettier color, see them here on me. And they're* only $23 right now! I love the curvy fit, very similar to the Loft Curvy Fit, and you can't beat the price.

My hair has been a little dry lately, and I've been using this* every night, and so far it seems really good, it's keep my fly aways at bay. I've always used the Pantene Pro-V Protect and Repair Shampoo and Conditioner for years, and just now realized it tells you on the bottle to use this, I totally bought this randomly at Target, because I wanted to find a hair serum. I'll keep you posted.

I just got this* purse and it pretty much screams fall right? It's only $39 and comes in 7 colors! Good deal right? You should go get one too.

Now onto a few things that I want...like this* dress, so pretty right? Perfect just how she is wearing it, but also would look great with some leggings and boots, goes from Fall to winter pretty easily. Swoon.

 

As soon as I finish this post I am buying this sweater. It screams cozy warm Fall days/night. Not that we're having it here, but one day when we do, I'm going to throw this on and be all warm and snuggly. For $26.40, deal and a half. I can talk myself into buying anything right?

 

Those are my Fall favorites, what are yours?
