Toby wishes we had somewhere to be tonight.

Crafts & Minivans

Weekend highlights:

-K and I went for some Mexican cuisine on Thursday night and we ran into Ruby, family, and Connie. We were invited to dine with them and really enjoyed the company. What a great surprise.

-Friday night I met up with friends to watch Handmade Nation. I really enjoyed the film and even more so listening to PolyCotN who was there in person from Knittaplease to talk about her guerrilla knitting art work. I was reinvigorated to create. I actually bought some new yarn to get started on some projects.

-Saturday, K and I headed to Lufkin to do some car browsing at the Toyota dealership. We were there for most of our Saturday. It was a long day. We did leave with one of these:



We are now so not cool. However, it is quite possible that ours is bigger than yours. So there.

I am now happily waiting for K to pick us up some dessert. Advise: Do not watch the Food channel regarding snacks and desserts.

Halloween Weekend

Weekend Highlights:

-Met up with friends we haven't seen in a while for some Mexican food and catch up time. It was great spending time with them.

-Attending M & T's Halloween party and seeing friends in great costumes. The weather was perfect and the bonfire felt just fine. We didn't lie our heads down until around 3 a.m. and boy did we pay for it the next morning. I would do it all over again.

-Throwing the frisbee for both dogs and watching them romp and play in gorgeous cool sunny weather. Both dogs running at full speed sounds amazingly like a herd of buffaloes.

-Eating Halloween candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just kidding. Sort of. :)

Here's a small collage to give y'all a brief glimpse of the Halloween party:

H-Town & H-Party

Not only is it only Tuesday but how the heck has October almost run its course? Didn't it turn October just like a week ago??

We were in Houston this past weekend. We had a great time with K's parents. They spoiled us like usual and we got to meet their new pup Clyde and I cannot believe I don't have one photo of Clyde.

Sometime in the near future my MIL will be bringing us a king sized bed and a day bed! I cannot wait. Anyone interested in a queen sized box spring and mattress set when the switch over takes place?

The day bed will be great because it has a trundle set with it so it'll pull out to about a full or queen sized bed. I continue to juggle my junk to make room for everything!

Halloween is just next weekend and I'm excited to attend a friend's bash and it'll be the 13th annual H-Party they've had. I hope it ends up being a chilly and dry night so we can enjoy the outside standing by a cozy bonfire. I do enjoy bonfires!

I <3 the weekend

Highlights from the weekend:

-Watching Where the Wild Things Are with my honey and then devouring delicious UFO pizza after the flick.

-Buying items for our Halloween costume.

-Walking the pups on Saturday and Sunday morning and soaking in the gorgeous weather and fabulous temperatures.

-Getting rid of furniture pieces from the guest room and rearranging them in other parts of the house where they actually work!

-Watching movies (Adventureland and I forget the name of the horrible zombie flick we watched) late at night in my cozy house with my honey and furry children.

-Buying ingredients for two separate dinners that will give us leftovers for several dinners and lunches.

-Baking one of my favorite fall recipes: pumpkin bread

-Visiting the aunt & uncle's and catching up with everyone.

-Driving the aunt's mini van to get a feel of how one drives and it was surprisingly pretty nice.

Weekends just never get old, y'all.
