...Friday's Favorites...

I love when fall rolls around, because it means that it's time for lots of tReat making with my mom & sisters....and of all the yuMmy treats we make, my favorite is our caRameL aPpleS. They're basically just our version of Rocky Mountain's "Apple Pie" apple. We dip the caramel apple in white choColate, then roll it in ciNnamOn sugar, and top it all off with driZzles of more chocolate. They make such a yuMmy & pRetty treat...
perfect for eAting or gift giVing!!

...More Toys???...

With Christmas coming up, I've started brainstorming about what to get the kids...there are so many fun tOys out there, sometimes it's hard to narrow it down! Last year Zac got toys that he's maybe played with a handful of times...so hopefully we can be more selective this year so we don't end up throwing our money into dumb toys that basically just take up space. But then again, maybe I don't need to buy any toys at all....seeing as how my kids had a gReat time with tiNfoil & paPer baGs...go figure!

...Cornbelly's...

We made our way over to Cornbelly's on Friday night with my parents, grandpa, and old roommate Sara. It was so much fun! Zac loved every minute of it & completely tired himself out playing so hard. Outings like this are what makes me love fall so much...and since this is the 2nd year in a row that we've gone, I guess it's a fun little tradition in the making!

...happy birthday bRynn...

happy biRthday bRynn! it's been great growing up with a siSter like you...your sense of humor and ability to lauGh keep things fun and worthwhile! you're an amazing mom & person who i continually learn from...and i know there's a lot of goOd tiMes that lie ahead of us...i love you sister!

...finally, some decorations...

I finally got around to putting up our Halloween decorations yesterday. They've been in storage, so I've been procrastinating the task of getting them up. I always dread the idea of getting the house decorated because I know it means a long day & a messy house...but it's funny because I love doing that stuff, it's just getting the energy to do it I guess. And now our house feels much more festive...and we have a whole 13 days to enjoy them!

This was entirely Zac's idea and personal touch to the decorating. He's very proud of his goldfish decoration!
