Girls weekend!

My best friend and I got to spend an ENTIRE weekend kid free and husband free! Not that we don't love them all.....but we drove down to Stockton Lake to have a little R and R.

We left on a Friday night. On our way out of town, we may or may not have stopped to get a bucket full of movie theater popcorn. It was the PERFECT snack for the 3 hour drive.

We stayed up late watching Hallmark movies and then got to sleep in the next morning. All day Saturday we pretty much stayed inside (it was FREEZING cold outside) and watched move Hallmark movies and crafted.

We did go to a thrift store to stock up on supplies for Christmas wreaths. We scored a few good finds--some old Christmas sweaters and some embroidery hoops! We drove around the lake a bit and looked at all the pretty trees. The fall colors were AMAZING and the leafs were as big as our heads!

We made LOTS of cute earrings to sell while we were there! These were my favorites....

On Sunday, we slept in again and watched one more movie before we packed up and headed out for the drive home! Love having girl time with my bestie!

Halloween 2018

Before we get to Halloween, it's worth mentioning that this cute girl FINALLY got to start gymnastics!

 She's so excited because she's taking the class on the same day that her older cousin is, so they get to be in the gym at the same time! It's her dream come true.

I was excited to have hit 50 pounds lost in mid-October! Having buckets of Halloween candy didn't do much to help me maintain it, but it was great to see those 50 pounds GONE!

We kicked off Halloween with the annual fall party at the Cain's house. Michael and I showed up in the same outfit! 

 Ty was LOVING all the food!

 A few days later, Towanda had it's Trick or Treat Street. We met up with the cousins and came home with buckets full of candy!

We ran into Brookie and Michael while we were there.....

On Halloween night, we started off at my mom's and then walked to Brooke and Michael's. Tommy wanted to be a blue power ranger and Tessa wanted to be a taco (which everybody LOVED--people were giving her extra candy because they liked her costume so much)!

 

After we hit Brooke and Michael's neighborhood, we headed to Nick's parent's house and trick or treated with our other cousins. They had so much fun!

Happy Halloween!
