Happy Halloween!!

We had a great time... and the kids were exhaused by the time the night was through... now if I could just get over this cold and get a night off work!!

Halloween is almost amongst us...

The kids are getting super excited about Halloween, and to tell you the truth, I am too! I love this time of year... They have had two days of dress up at daycare and school, although I failed to take pictures of them dressed up :( I did get pictures of the treat bags I sent today for snack at school and them in some festive black an orange!!

Princesses and Super Heroes

Shelby had a party with her favorite little friends on the weekend and they all had a great time! Was great to see everyone all dressed up as well.

Happy Birthday Princess!!

Today we celebreated Shelby's 4th birthday with family and will be doing it up with her school friends on the weekend. She had a great evening... and even ASKED to go to bed!!

It'd starting to look a lot like fall around here...

I love this season... and Christmas as well of course. Fall seems to be one of the longest seasons that you can decorate for... fall, then halloween... I decorate... and enjoy it WAY too much!!

I love to wake up and find stuffies....

We've been away for the better part of this week in Windsor, the kids staying with the in-laws and us staying at the casino enjoying a little momma/daddy time and when we got together yesturday to start the trek home ( so I could work!) it just seemed way too rushed. Kinda wished we could of taken our time coming home and relaxed the night and next day away, but nope... :( I headed off to work and the kids off to bed and when I got home this morning I was EXHAUSTED! But I woke up to a nice little surprise... Shelbys cat Moo all curled up with me and her blanket... it's the little things she does that make me realize that everything is going to be alright :)

It's been a busy few days...

And it is only going to get worse! We were super busy this weekend with a friends wedding, shopping around for girly bedding for Shelby and trying to get the house back in order. And now I'm on a 9 day stretch... there is a payoff though... three days, no kids, and a hotel paid for in Windsor! I can see the light! Now if this cold would find a new home we would be all set!

Here are a few from the past few days....

I just can't seem to get enough of this place...

We headed back to the wedding venue this afternoon to place the deposit and iron out some details... and of course to take some pictures. I'm not kidding when I say that this place gets better every time I look at it!!

We did it... finally decided on a day and booked the venue this afternoon!

After, what seems like forever, we are finally do the last step in our plight to become adults... and we're getting MARRIED! We have known for some time that it was going to happen, just never followed through... but today, after visiting a few locations, we chose one and LOVE IT!!

Complete with country feel, a barn, horses, cows, a pond.... endless opportunities for GREAT pictures and memories... now I can hardly wait for the day to get here! My pictures do it no justice whatsoever.... we are headed back on Sunday though and I am determined to remember to bring the camera and take some real shots then!!

Superheroes....

I woke up this morning to the kids playing with some masks we found while out looking for Halloween decorations... too cute...

Apples and Beaches

We took the kids out to Great Lakes Farms today to look at the hall for a possible wedding site and had a great time with them. They enjoyed picking apples and we ended the trip with a trip to Port Stanley and Mackies for fries... a great way to spend a Sunday!!

Western Fair... come and gone again...

We took the kids to the fair yesturday afternoon. They thoroughly enjoyed their time there and were pretty worn out once we got home. We however, had a sitter lined up and headed back alone... the fair is always better at night.... especially alone... :)

I crocheted my very first hat tonight!

And it's not too bad for my first attempt. All this talk about crocheting on wundermums really got my mid runnnig... and gosh darnit, I wanted Shelby to have a cute hat with interchangeable flowers too!! I'll attach a picture later...

I still have some tweeking to do and I have to figure out how to make the flowers bigger, but it's coming along!!

I wanna live the life of a cat....

Just saying... this life looks luxurious.... basking in the sun, people to oodle over you and scratch you in all the right places... sleep whenever you want.... oh the life... :)

September Already....

Okay... I officially lost over 60 days here... the summer went by so fast and there was so much fun had between work, soccer and family and friends schedules. We were definitely not ready for the summer to end and school to start, but it did, and I sent my two little munchkins off to big school for their very first day yesturday.

It was actually a pretty bittersweet moment, they were excited, I was sad to see them grow up so fast, but happy that they are moving from my little people to fun little school-goers, gaining more and more independence every day.

I even met another fellow blogger and Wundermum in the schoolyard today... was nice to meet you!!
