Friday Favorites #185

Happy Friday Foxy friends! I'm so excited I'm going to lunch with a friend that I haven't seen in a couple of years.

Monday: Halloween Decorations
Tuesday: New Obsession - Color Street Nails
Wednesday: Long Caridgan + What's Up Wednesday
Thursday: Sentence A Day

I also posted a video about the Color Street nails too.

Halloween was so much fun on Wednesday. The kids and Mr. had a blast showing off their Halloween costumes I made.

Unfortunately mine didn't work, I had a bad cable and didn't realize it. But I was happy that everyone elses worked and that they got to show them off. We had a lot of people videoing and taking pictures of us. It was like we were celebrities for a very short 1.5 hour period.

I was a little disappointed we didn't end up going to the big pumpkin patch. With me going back East on a girls trip, it was hard to coordinate. But we did make it to the super small one right in our city. The pictures didn't turn out great, they wanted to go play with their friends (we were there for a school fundraiser), so I had about 5 minutes to snap as many pictures as I wanted...haha.

I sort of love that Mini Fox was standing behind Baby Fox and it looks like he has a pony tail...haha.

She is just hilarious with her faces.

Their smiles...what the heck? Every.Single.One.

Hanging with friends, running crazy around the pumpkin patch. They all had bracelets to get on all the rides they wanted.

We loosely followed them around.

Last picture of the night.

No wait, this one was.

 

We went to a bazillion trunk or treats, okay not really, just two, but it felt like a LOT! Mini Fox went to the first one without Baby Fox, he was at a football game with the boys (ND VS Navy).

Scoping out her candy stash, it was super cute, she kept trying to grab two of everything so she could get one for her brother.

Second trunk or treat was the next week at a friends church. This one was smaller, so they had small games or something to do at each trunk.

I loved this one, so fun.

All in all it was a great October with lots of fun activities to participate in. I also left out a bigger pumpkin patch that they went to while I was gallivanting with friends. But Mr. didn't take very many pictures. Darn him, I need to train him better. hehe.

I love him, and this Carpool Karaoke is awesome. I've never really seen anything with Michael Buble, where you get to see his personality. I love him even more.

I love Pink and her singing this song, oh goodness, love it! Can she just redo all of them?

Have you seen this video of her singing with her daughter? It's so dang cute.

Um what?! She's 11 and has more talent in her pinky finger than I do in my whole body. Wow, just wow! She creates living art for a living and is 11, let that sink in.

What are you up to this weekend? I'm headed to my high school reunion...should be fun to see old friends.

Sentence A Day: October Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Once a month we link up our one sentence a day for a month. It's a great way to quickly document your feelings of the day while it's happening. It's a fun way to look back at the month and see everything that has happened. Thank you Rebecca for the idea, an allowing us to run with it as a link up.

1 - Karate, followed by gym, makes for a great day.

2 - Unexpectedly got to go to the gym today, that was nice.

3 - Finally back at R.I.P.P.E.D, to find out it was canceled, darn it, but I took a equally good class, so that worked out.

4 - Got eaten alive at soccer today, my leg is in so much pain.

5 - Plans changed, so to make up for it I took the kids to after school treat, a play place and then we ordered dinner through Door Dash for the very first time, the kids got a kick out of it.

6 - Great day of soccer and watching my cousin play football at the University of Washington vs. UCLA game.

7 - Getting stuff done, laundry, crafting (sometimes I feel like I have craft ADD, I start one craft, to realized I wanted to finish another craft, and then nothing really gets done), but at least I prototyped out our Halloween Costumes and let me tell you, it's awesome!

8 - Crap, getting sick, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not before the trip!

9 - Need to get stuff done before I leave...so much to do, so little time, still feeling sick, yuck!

10 -Working from home today to hopefully get some more rest and not be super sick for tomorrow, please don't let me be sick the whole time!

11 - Going to Hilton Head (recap here), but it was the longest travel day of history, 9 hours on a plane, followed by 4 hours in a car, to FINALLY get to the girls.

12 -A day shopping with the girls is a good day indeed, Mr. don't look at the bank account!

13 -A day at the beach and poolside and a fancy dinner out is just what the doctor ordered.

14 -Some more shopping, lunch, shopping followed by some relaxing and a movie with the girls.

15 - Spent some time in Savannah then had to drop Lana off at the airport...waaaahhhh, need to finish all the food and the alcohol before we leave...challenge accepted!

16 - Good-bye friends, looking forward to our trip next year, this time on the West Coast, oh and I had to buy some luggage to get all the stuff I bought home, oops!

17 - Much needed day off to recover from my trip, I might have taken three naps.

18 - Still sick, does anyone see the elephant sitting on my chest?

19 - Boo Bash at Baby Fox's school was so fun, and I went in with a few girls and had the best trunks out there, it made people smile in a sea of scary.

20 -  Soccer, Karate, more soccer, soccer pictures, and then a last minute date night!

21 - Plans changed and it turned to be a "lazy" day, which really means catching up on all things that I have been ignoring the last week, then I took the kids to my parents and they decorated a Halloween house while Mom, Sister and I watched a Hallmark movie.

22 - Feeling better, so I got to walk on the treadmill today, not running yet, but it's a good start.

23 - Pumpkin patch with friends followed by dinner together all for a school fundraiser on a Tuesday, yes please!

24 - Yay finally able to workout again...it's been 2 long weeks of being sick!

25 -Sewing Halloween costumes while the kid is at soccer is what a mom has to do to get it done.

26 -Took the kids to a play place after school, they loved it and a bunch of friends were there too.

27 -Soccer for Mini Fox, then the boys headed off to the ND/Navy game and the girls went to my parents trunk or treat.

28 -Busy day today, church, tried making a crock pot lasanga, friends over for haunted house decorating, followed by pumpkin carving and then a trunk or treat, then back to our house for dinner, woah, long day, but so fun.

29 -Fairly certain that workout instructor is not human, she just keeps going...and going...and going....but it was a good workout and pushed me harder than I would have by myself.

30 - Crap, still have my Halloween Costume to sew...I can do this!

31 - Such a fun time trick or treating and I got all of the costumes done, except one of my cables was bad, so mine didn't work, but at least the kids and Mr. had their costumes!
