Punkin Patch Pics!

NWA FRIENDS!

I signed up for this event....one of my friends from back home makes these adorable items and is having a party at Riffraff (which happens to be a store I love, owned by a girl I love, who happens to be decorating my master bedroom at the moment)...anyways, you should do this with me!!

Check it out HERE!

OHHH-KAAAAAY!!

I have lots of pictures to post from this weekend! Lots of Fall Fun activities. But for now I'm just going to do a cute, quick post on Cruzy.

You see, he's a little stinker. He's old enough to know right from wrong...but smart enough to know he how to get away with anything! When we tell him not to do something, he knows what we are saying. But he cutely says, "OHHHH-KAAAY "....like he is going to mind us. Then he just keeps right along doing what he wants to do. And he is so stinkin cute it works.

I got a little video clip of him in action today. It was nap time and he KEPT ON GETTING OUT OF BED!! He would sneak out, and peak over the balcony and look at me down in the living room. I kept telling him to go back to bed, and he just gave me his usual, "OKAY!!!", without ever really minding me.

PS. Don't you just love how you can hear Maddox yelling for me in the background toward the end. Ahhhh, a mothers job is never dull. He was back in my room and needed a snack. Sometimes I wish I was 3 and had someone to wait on me hand and foot!! :)

Halloween Cupcake Fun

First let me say that I loooooove to make cupcakes!! (from the box, cough) I just like to decorate them and have them out for whatever holiday it may be. Plus the kids love it, too!

But, second, I am the worlds worst at going to the grocery store, talking on the phone as I shop and coming home with all the wrong stuff. (For example: I often come home with two shampoos instead of one shampoo and one conditioner. Or blue mascara instead of black. Zucchini's instead of cucumbers....you get the idea...)

So the other day I got all pumped to make cupcakes with the kids. When I got out my box and started reading I realized, as usual, I bought the WRONG THING. It was Halloween sugar cookie mix!!! UGH.

I decided to go with it. Cruzy was my helper. Excuse the orange icing on his face. He had already been into the Halloween Oreos. Yes, I buy anything Halloween this time of year. We worked hard on the cookie dough:)

But for some reason this is what we got. What the heck???? Not even worth icing!!

I went straight to the store and bought the right stuff. I was so determined to make some cupcakes at this point!!

Maddox loved the mixer!

Maddox was DYING to get into the icing while the cupcakes were baking. I pulled out our sad little sugar cookies and let him practice with the gel icing. How cute is this one. When he finished he said (very proudly I might add) "LOOK, I MADE CRUZ!!!".

Then I asked him to make a cookie that looked like him:

I heart this lil guy.

And these guys too.

Almost ready. I swear I didn't pose this picture. The kid was really that excited to get them out to ice.

Cruzy enjoyed eating more than decorating!! He was serious about this, y'all!!

Although, I do have the cutest Halloween cupcake stand EVER (thanks sis)...the cupcakes aren't necessarily the best looking....

See the one with all the black globby icing on it? Maddox made that one. It's suppose to be a spider. It's still left. Guess no one thinks its too appetizing;).

Happy Halloween!

Just Made Me Laugh...

Tonight after dinner Maddox asked for pudding for dessert. I got some out, gave him a spoon, and started cleaning up the kitchen while he ate.

I noticed he was singing something but didn't pay attention for a few minutes. When I finally caught what he was saying I heard, "activia!!!!".

I asked Maddox what he was talking about. He said, "that's what the lady on tv says!!".

I busted out laughing!! He was singing the jingle from the Activia commercial. He thought that's what he was eating! Gotta love that boy!




- Posted using BlogPress from my FABULOUS iPhone

Hello Friends!! Must admit...I'm in a bloggy rut!! Can't find too much to blog about these days!! I feel boring! Am I?? Everyone elses blogs are so good!! I feel hard pressed to find topics sometimes! Hopefully with the holidays coming up I will get my bloggy mojo back!

Here's some stuff I can think to share today;)!!

As I'm sure many of you have been, we have been talking important stuff around here...like, what do we want to be for Halloween? Maddox first said "pirate". "PERFECT!" I thought!! I could dress both the boys like cute lil pirates, FUN!

Then he changes briefly to a Knight. Before I could even think of something cute for Cruz to dress as to go with a knight he changed again to this: In case you don't know who this is, its some dude from Iron Man. Maddox has never seen the movie, but he somehow knows all about Iron Man. He is obsessed with being Iron Man. He also has to have this thing to clip to his shoulder to pretend to shoot people:

And these things to go on his hands. I don't even know what they do.So, there goes my "cute matching brothers" plan. What in the world do you do with that crazy outfit?? I did go ahead and order it. He was so excited about being this thing I couldn't say no.

So they won't match at all. But Cruz will still be CUTE. He will be "The Very Hungry Catterpillar". Hopefully he will keep that monsterous thing on his head! Oh, on another note, remember when I told you about that special nail polish, Shelac, that I got at the nail place that is suppose to last 2 weeks with no chipping. Well, its been 2 weeks today...not. one. chip. Can you believe it!!! They look great and still shiny!! Totally recommend!

Have a great day!
