From Phoenix's birthday on the 26th, until the end of the year...we have something going on constantly. Phoenix's birthday, our anniversary, Halloween, Michael's birthday, Thanksgiving, ZoeJane's birthday, and then Christmas! It's exhausting..and draining on the bank account, but it's a blast!
The weekend before our anniversary, the kiddo's were off to the grandparent's for a night and a fall festival at my parent's church, so we took the night off for ourselves. We had a fondue dinner (complete with apps and dessert) which was AMAZING. I'll only include one picture from that night so you guys don't start having really bad cravings ;).
On our actual anniversary, the hubbs gave me strict instructions to listen for the door. Of course, when I went to pick ZoeJane up from school, the surprise arrived and was waiting on my doorstep when I got back =). A dozen roses (a mix of pink, red, and white). The red ones are so rich and beautiful, they look like velvet. A teddy bear, a balloon. and a box of mint chocolates. And of course a card. Two days later, I got another card and two more bouquets of my favorite roses. I don't know what they're called, but they're dyed to look striped. I got a red bouquet and a hot pink bouquet.
Fast forward to Halloween. We had a Spider-Man (complete with some serious muscles), a Merida (from Brave), and a prisoner, complete with tattoos. We went to the Mall of Ga since it was so cold out (we didn't want the kids to have to completely cover up their costumes). We spent an hour and a half in traffic, only to get there are only like 5-6 stores were participating. It was disappointing to say the least. The kids barely got enough to fill the bottom of their buckets. So what does this mama do to fix it? I wait until ZoeJane is back at school, go to walmart, spend $10 on Halloween clearance candy (which resulted in a SHIT TON of candy), brought it home, stuffed their buckets and told them that Jack the Pumpkin King came to visit and drop off some goodies (we've good big Nightmare Before Christmas fans in this house). Politically incorrect to load your kids up? Probably. Did I do it anyway? Hell yes. I'm big on making sure my babies have happy holidays.
So, with that being said, here's the evidence!
