{Weekend Glimpses}

our weekend was a full and wonderful one.
a little one on one shopping time with each of my big girls.
a sister sleepover.
a school project beginning.
pizza and a fountain coke.
leaf hanging.
crafting and thankfuls. (more on that to come)
early morning oatmeal breakfast date with my honey while everyone slept in.
lots and lots of american girl playing.
and cookies!

i'm a little bit obsessed and overjoyed with my hanging leaves.
that was a lot of knots!
thanks baby!:)

the girls have this whole american girl world down in the basement.
they have worked so hard on it and i love their creativity.
hours and hours of fun i tell ya.
janey even takes time out from her tumbling to play....that explains the outfit!:)

my mom emailed me this recipe back in 2003!!
goodness why are even recipes proving to me that time is flying by at warp speed.
it seems like only yesterday...but it wasn't.
we both lived in fl then and janey wasn't even born!
anyway...we love it and it is simple and yummy.
dave used real oats instead of quick oats to increase that health value so he upped the temp a bit and bake time. he also sprinkled in loads of flax seed.....YUM!

oh and i dabbled a bit in pinterest too.
that's what waking up at 3:15 on a saturday morning (which was really 2:15 cause of the time change...which we forgot about!!!!) and not being able to go back to sleep will do for you.
you can see my link over in the sidebar.
not too much there yet, but it's so much fun...and addicting.
if you're on pinterest let me know.
oh...and i made a new header too...like it?

hope your weekend was a wonderful one,

have a happy day,

cindy

{A Happy Halloween}

introducing...

doc mcjaney, bumbleicious and the carhop.

 

quite the scary crew don't ya think?

it was a cold night and we were feeling rather puffy in all our layers.
the girls each had on an undershirt, a long sleeve shirt, turtle neck, tights, leggings and gloves.
they were still cold.

after doing my halloween's past post the other day these photos are really pulling at my heart strings.
some days it just seems you turn around and they have all grown up.
i hope i was looking hard enough and remembering well enough because before i know it these photos will seem like forever ago.
not so funny how it works that way.

we walked around with our friends.
it's good to have friends.

 

janey wanted me to take this photo cause it was her first candy of the night.
it was from our house.:)

it's good to have a wagon and a fuzzy blankie too.

we made it home by 7:30.
counted and sorted our goodies and then popped some of our trick or treat popcorn.
it was a good night.

...happiest moment of the day so far...

when i tucked riley in she said, "

i love you mom thanks for everything and i had a really good halloween with you."

have a happy day,

cindy
