The Halloween Decorating Continues

0033

I’ve been trying to wait till October to decorate, but decided it was no use. I love Halloween, and I couldn’t wait one minute longer to get out the decorations. Dylan likes the Candy Corn place mats on the table, and I’ve got the table set cute for company this weekend.

We also made a pumpkin centerpiece for the dining room table too. Dylan spotted the tiny pumpkin at the store today, and it was too cute not to bring home. We got outside a little bit today, and gathered some fallen leaves from the yard. After a quick wash, the leaves and pumpkin were ready to go onto the table. I wonder how long this display will last though, the cats love to eat leaves.

I have a few more spider decorations around the house, and we have a big inflatable for the front yard. I’ll try to wait for October 1st to put that one outdoors though.

Just a Touch of Halloween

Running out to the store today actually made me happy… When we walked in the door I was greeted with an entire room of Halloween goodies! Just in case you didn’t already know Halloween is my very very very favorite holiday! I can’t resist the costumes and the candy too.

I picked up a Halloween onesie for the little one on the way.

And who doesn’t need a jar full of Tootsie Rolls to put you in the Halloween spirit… Now I just need to get the boy’s costumes figured out!

The Fallout from the Fireworks

We had a blast yesterday, and even Thade came around and enjoyed  some fireworks too. James put on an awesome fireworks show for us, and my best friend Stacey brought her family over for some 4th of July fun too. She also brought some tasty cupcakes, and yummy sides too. We had a lot of fun with family and friends, but the mosquitoes were a big pain.

Poor Dylan got bit as soon as we ventured outside to light some daytime fireworks, and today it looks like he has a black eye. Thade got a few mosquito bites too, but his don’t look as bad as Dylan’s. Mosquito bites aside, it was a really fun 4th of July, and I can’t wait to celebrate again next year.

James is ready though!

I hope that everyone has a safe and very Happy 4th of July! Enjoy the fireworks!

Maybe Thade will have a little fun today too.

Just A Week Until the 4th of July

Yesterday Thade exclaimed that he doesn’t like fireworks, and that’s when I realized that the 4th of July is just around the corner. Then I looked at the calendar, and oh no, it is just 7 days until the 4th of July, and I am so not ready!?! I had better get my house in order, and get to planning a 4th of July BBQ menu for the guests.

What about you… Do you have plans for the 4th of July? Are you hosting a BBQ or bringing along a tasty dish to a 4th of July gathering?
