Here is what I am loving this week!
The Hulk and Spiderman giving each other hugs! 
First of all I am loving that today is Halloween and I get to spend it with my favorite guys! Branden, Ace, Brady and I are going to be painting a pumpkin, enjoying the beautiful weather and then going to meet up with Brady's parents after they get off work and go to a Halloween festival at our church! So fun! 

These adorable Winter Wonderland Baby Leg Warmers from my shop Au Natural Baby! They are only $5 for preorders, this is the best price you can get so hurry! Order them today so you can have them for the holidays! 

These adorable book slings from Boogie Smalls Boutique (how awesome is that shop name?)! We have one in orange chevron but are thinking of getting more for Ace's room. Which one is your favorite?


Use code: PIM10 to get 10% off your order! 

My next Review and Giveaway from Wise Decor! You are going to love this one. This is our decal for our wall. It looks so awesome!

These super cool Bynto Trays! Is it weird that I want one for Ace even though he doesn't go to daycare or anything yet? I mean we could totally use this for a picnic, right? And they are only $6.99. 

And last but certainly not least I am loving this picture of Ace with my Dad. We went to visit him at work on Tuesday and Ace just loved it!

This past weekend was probably one of the best ones we have had in a long time. Branden was actually off both days, which rarely happens unless we are going out of town. We had two birthdays to go to so we were very busy! Saturday we went to Ace's friend Payton's first birthday. It was Hello Kitty theme and Lindsay, Payton's Mom, went all out. I wish I had taken pictures of everything because it was insanely cute. Ace got to jump in a bounce house, which he loved. 
This kid cracks me up

How cute is Payton's birthday outfit?

Ace with his buddies in the bounce house


Painting fun! He kept eating it.

Ace and Brody making a huge mess, so fun!
The cute birthday girl!

He loved that straw. 

Payton screaming out of excitement. Isn't her cake beautiful?

Ace loving on his friend

Brody's so adorable!

On Sunday we had my nephew, Gavin's, first birthday party. It was Halloween theme and so we of course were going to dress Ace as the hulk. Well, after an hour of trying to find his damn costume we decided it was a lost cause and headed to the party store to try and find something for the party. We ended up getting him this gnome costume. It was so freaking cute on him.
My little gnome and me!

Can you tell he had fun? 

Ace with his "cousin" Manon

She was Chuckie! 

I was obsessed with her costume lol

Minnie down the slide!

Ace's turn!

More bounce house fun!
Unfortunately I didn't get any pics with Ace and his cousin Gavin because my camera died here and right after this Gavin got in the bounce house. I think someone took one of them later on together so I am hoping to get one of them together. All the kids had fun and it was cute seeing them in their costumes. Gavin was a little devil and then had one skeleton jammies later. 

So what is everyone else's littles being for Halloween? Any big plans?

We love Halloween at our house!  Aside from Christmas, I'd say it's our favorite holiday.  The atmosphere is fun and exciting, the decorations are spooky and cool, and the air is crisp and cool.  And unlike a lot of things in life, Halloween has only gotten better since having our kids!

I've always been indecisive.  This sure makes settling on a Halloween costume hard with so many great ideas to choose from!  For some reason, I ended up choosing some very interesting costumes, too- from a bar of soap to a nun.  But, of all of my costumes, the one I'll never live down is "Fat Jasmine".  I chose to be Jasmine, imagining her in her cute flowy pants and skimpy top.  However, living in Minnesota, Halloween was never warm and my mom mademe wear a coat underneath!  Oh boy.  Gotta love the pink rubber boots and the tired looking Barney next to me...


Fast forward about 18 years.  Now, I not only get to decide what I want to dress as, but I get to decide what to dress the kids in, too (sometimes I get to basically choose Ryan's costume, as well)!  My son, Brennan, is 2.5 years old, so this year I gave him choices.  He settled on being Marty, the zebra from Madagascar.  So we ran with that idea!  Our 6 month old  (7 months exactly on Halloween) daughter, Bryleigh, is going as Alex, the lion!  I even got some cute plush hats for Ryan and I.  He will be going as Melman, the giraffe, and I have to be the odd one out with my tiger hat.  There is no Tiger on Madagascar, but finding a plush hippo hat in order to be Gloria is much harder than one might think.  So... I'm a tiger.  Come to think of it, I should have looked for a penguin hat!  Anyway, we think the combination should make for some cute photos, at the very least!   I'd love to share some pictures of how adorable my little ones look in their costumes, but I'm a firm believer in waiting until Halloween to show off those costumes!  Stop by my blog on the 31st for some shots!

Trick or Treating was great last year for our little cowboy, but will be even be better this year!  This year people will be able to understand Brennan's plea for candy and thank you, he's physically capable of eating more types of candy, and we get to bring little sister along in the stroller, too!  I don't need to walk the neighborhood, pregnant in my too tight costume!  I KNOW Brennan remembers how to trick or treat.  Just a couple days ago he found his treat bag.  He carried it over to Daddy and sweetly asked him, "Can I have a piece of candy in my bag?"  Yeah.  He's gonna have fun!

Halloween is great for something else- carving pumpkins!  We've had some pretty awesome pumpkins over the years, if I do say so myself.  Check out these ones!



Do I have pumpkin plans for this year? Well, Bryleigh has never had her face carved yet.  Maybe I will carve her and myself and Ryan will carve Brennan and himself!  We'll be a whole pumpkin family!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Halloween!
