Madi Bell's First Slumber Party!!!

      Last Friday night we hosted Madi Bell's first slumber party and she said it was a blast!!! Everyone made it through it, even me, a bit tired for the rest of the weekend, but we made it!!! I had one sleep walker and one that wasn't really sure she could make it all night long....but she did!! Her first sleepover completed!!! Yeah!!! It was a bunch of fun and here are some pics of the evening....

Birthday Cake Table

Cute Cake

The Birthday girl looks tired here, but a little cake will boost everyone's energy!!! It was 9pm before we even cut the cake!!

Presents!!!

Kylie, Madi Bell, Paige

Pizza and lots and lots of interesting conversations!!! And they played "telephone" several times!

There was lots of screaming...

There was lots of modeling.... actually a full pageant went on, formal wear, casual wear, and talent. Then the crowning!

Miss Lily in her formal wear.

The "Contestant's"

Kylie

They had all my high heels out...

And finally we all got comfy and watched a movie...

Everyone got comfy..notice who slipped in here with them...

They all look relaxed and tired, but don't let that fool you, they got their second winds!!!

We enjoyed pizza, cake, movies, dress up, playing outside, I painted 16 little hands, and they were all just as sweet as sugar!!!

Good Times!!!

Fall Around Our House

      Well even though the temps are back up in the 80's most days, fall is in full swing around here! I think I have gotten my outside fall fixed up. Nothing major, just a few things here and there.

My backdoor fall greeting!

This is the backdoor even though it should be a front door...I hate it!!!

A little fall garland.

My mum's and 3 little pumpkin's for my "3 little pumpkins"! :)

Halloween Garden Flag

Front Porch

My fern...I so want them to live this year.....

Miss Scarecrow

This is the wreath I made this year, not sure I "love" it yet, but it's growing on me.

Pumpkin Sticks!!!

So Pretty!

Here are my ferns on my deck.

Ok, now I am just playing with my camera, still need a lesson for it???

And this is my new flag for this year!!! I "heart" it!!!

Happy Fall Decorating!!!!

We've Been Booed!!!!

      This sweet little Boo Basket was on our door step today.....it sure is a cutie!!! Thanks for the treats  whoever you are???!!! :)))

He really likes the pail. I call the pop rocks though!!! Ha!!

Now it's our turn!!! Look out neighbors, and get ready to be Booed!!!

I Love this!!!

Little Fall Touches

     Well fall is officially here!!! One of my most favorite times of year!!! Out here in blogland fall is falling all over people's houses, and they just all look beautiful!!! So it got me in the mood to do a little fall decorating today, I am still working on a few things, but here are a few pics of what I have been doing today....

This is on the island in the kitchen. The pig is a new addition to the kitchen, she found her way home with me the other day, I just love her!! :)

The chest is a new addition to the kitchen too....

I picked up the chest at the local antique store, thought she would be just perfect for an island in my kitchen! I have been looking for something for awhile now.

I am thinking she is calling for a little paint on her...still up in the air about it....and definetly some new knobs!

I found these cute little pumpkins at Kirkland's.

And I am still tweaking my mantel, thinking she might need some fall garland, like Mrs. Tonia has going on...

Just adding a few touches here and there, still working on it, but it's nice. I have cinnamon cider Scentsy in the warmer too!!!! :))

I have been working outside too....pics later.

Lazy Laundry Syndrome

      I am suffering from Lazy Laundry Sydrome at my house or we can call it LLS!!! First, I shouldn't be on here at all, because I do have LLS, but that being said here I am, because I also feel like I have BBS too, otherwise known as Bad Blogger Syndrome... You see Lazy Laundry Syndrome at my house is not that there are piles of dirty laundry, but there are piles of "clean" laundry at my house...doesn't sound bad, but it can turn into a "messy" issue around here, then it can turn into "mom, I am not sure if it's clean or dirty???" which only requires a "smell" test usually, but sometimes can be confusing! Anyways my whole point is I do the laundry, then don't put it away! Then I come in here and instead of catching up on my own blogging for my precious little children, I read about everyone else's and all these fall decorating ideas! Which I am currently working on my fall decor around here too, by the time it's done, it will be time for Christmas though!!! There is no point to this post, I am just pointing out what I have been up too around here, not what I should be doing...but I figure I will still suffer from Lazy Laundry Sydrome for years to come....but maybe I will get better with the BBS!!! :)

Here is a pic of a wreath I want to make...it was at Silver Dollar City. I just love it! We will see if I can get some treatment for my LLS, then maybe I can find time to try my hand at it!

Oh, I did finish the kitchen of the home I have started on, hopefully I can post pics of it soon! :)

Hope you all have a fabulous day today!!!
