Halloween at the Library

Every Tuesday we head to our local library for story time. Today was dress up day for halloween. B. loves getting her monkey costume on. As soon as she is all dressed up, I'll hear her little voice say "mirror?" Of course, we have to look at ourselves once we're all dressed up, right? Then off to the full length mirror she'll race.
At the library we heard several stories and then had a parade through the library so that all the workers could see the costumes. Afterward, the lady who does the stories handed out bags with some candy and stickers in them.
Of course, I've been a little under the weather so this about wore me out. It was nice to get a little nap with B. today. I'm hoping this cold will pass soon.


Yesterday, I received in the mail a box that I had been waiting for. A while ago, I registered on Houseparty to host a martha stewart house party at my home. Well....I got picked to be one of the 1,000 hosts across the country!!! HURRAH!!! I was pretty excited. The parties have to be on November 7th. Here are all the products I received yesterday.

Pumpkin Patch

This year we went to a local farm were they have a hayride, donuts, cider and pumpkins. We skipped out on the hayride this year. We didn't think it was worth the money (and not to mention Tom's allergies) to go on that since B. really wouldn't remember it. Instead, we had donuts and apple cider. And then we picked out our pumpkin from a bunch they had out in front of the farm. The day was actually pretty cold, and I was glad we weren't out too long. We found our pumpkin and B. made sure it was coming in the car with us. I don't think she wanted to let it out of her site.

He Passed!!!

For those of you who haven't heard on FB, Tom passed his licensing exam!!! We were so thrilled to find that out this past Saturday. What a relief to finally be done!! Now...maybe we can have a little fun in our house!

10 years

Has it really been that long? Matt passed away 10 years ago today. I am amazed that so much time has passed. I miss his funny sense of humor, his big smile and his wonderful friendship. He was my best friend growing up. Today has been hard with lots of tears, but I'm so thankful that we have hope in Christ.
