I had our Halloween activities day at my house. I thought it’d be fun to do a spooky dinner and then play Halloween jeopardy after. We feasted on Zombie Brains & Witch Eyes: Purple spaghetti & meatballs with olives. Withered leaves: Salad. Vampire Repellent: Garlic Bread
We had our annual Halloween party last night! It was a lot more low key than usual, I didn’t even send out actual invites this year…only texts! Gasp, the horror! I’m still surprised at the things that have become harder now that I have someone else to add into the equation but it turned out spooktacular! We went as Raggedy Ann & Andy plus our cute kitty cat! The 9 hours I spent making those wigs, pulling every single thread through the beanies, were totally worth it because they really made the costumes!
We finally finished the nursery and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out! I wanted it a little whimsical but not typical baby decor so when I settled on a woodland theme I knew I had a big project ahead of me. It’s really difficult finding baby decor that isn’t pastels or really cartoony. Plus, all the inspiration rooms I found where very heavily boy themed so I’ve been piecing this room together, little by little, over the last 5-6 months!
We had Brielle’s Blessing today. I was a wreck for at least 2 weeks before it trying to get everything finished, because I can’t do anything without it being way overboard. Insert eyeroll from everyone that knows me since I just can’t help it. I bought her dress online but my mom removed the sleeves and it was perfect! She looked so beautiful in it! The morning of the blessing was a mad house here. My whole family came over and helped us set up for the luncheon and my mom helped me get Brielle fed, bathed and dressed. Then we all got ready here and went to church together. There was so much hustle and bustle (and stress on my part) I felt like we were getting ready for a wedding. Oh, heaven help us when she actually gets married! 😉 After she was blessed we had a luncheon for family and friends that were there to celebrate the occasion with us.
