Friday already? I'm not going to complain, but goodness...this week FLEW by. Just like that we are preparing for a SPOOKTACULAR weekend...muahahahahha!
Seriously though. We have lots of Halloweenery on the agenda.
1. Can we talk about decorating for Halloween?? Do you do it? I guess because I didn't grow up in a neighborhood my mom never really felt the need/got into decorating for Halloween. Sure, we carved our pumpkins and such...but our "decorating" was more FALL oriented. NOT ghosts and goblins, oh my! Well...let's just say our house is OUT of the loop in our neighborhood. It seems as if almost EVERYONE decorates for HALLOWEEN. And when I say decorate, I mean...orange lights, scary cats, ghosts, hands sticking up out of the yard, spider webs...you get the picture. Like, FULL out spooky shit. My little pumpkins, mums, and hay just seem a little too "sweet" for the big night. Our neighborhood is LOADED with kids though, and I think a LOT of people from our area come to our hood to get their treat on..so I get it, it just took me by surprise. (and no, this house below is thankfully NOT from our hood...)
2. New Fall shows. So, are y'all as obsessed with Nashville as I am? I L-O-V-E me some Tami Taylor and was dying to watch this show. There are so many interesting story lines and twists that have been revealed, I really dig it. And that Hayden is a total BIATCH, but lordy her body is a rockin.'
We also seriously love this show. Seriously.
3. Speaking of Halloween, we are going to Riverbanks Zoo's BOO AT THE ZOO Sunday night with some friends. Kinda like I mentioned in my post on the pumpkin patch, I'm sure this is something I am looking forward to more than necessary considering I am taking an EIGHT month old..but she did love the lights at the fair so I am hoping this will be as visually stimulating for her;-)
4. Did I mention we were busy this weekend?? YIKES. Supper Club Halloween party tonight, noon CAROLINA football game tomorrow, Halloween party at my bro and SIL's tomorrow night (w. the kiddos...there will be hay rides and games!), joining our new church Sunday morning, a birthday party at 2 and then Boo at the Zoo Sunday night. I think I need a nap just reading all of that. But, that's how I like it. Busy as a bee. Most of the time anyways...I can do this knowing we don't have much on the calendar next weekend so I'll be able to get in some much needed R and R.
5. I'm kind of in a denial that I'll need to start thinking about Christmas lists soon. I'm not really a last minutes shopper but in no means am I an early shopper. But, this being my first year buying for a wee little one...I feel like I need to get organized and start early. Eeek. I can promise you this though right now...I absolutely will NOT be going overboard for Collins. I think it is totally absurd how much some people spend on babies at Christmas. Santa was always a big deal at my house and we got a lot, but for a 10 month old? Totally NOT necessary. It's just not worth it when they are so young. Save the money for when they really know better;-)
