it’s the holiday season…

 

It must be, because a family of reindeer just moved into our living room! 

Sub-Zero Saturday

I woke up this morning to a frost covered yard, scraper-worthy car and a temperature app that notified me that it is 28 degrees outside.  My poor heat pump had kicked on the auxiliary heat in order to keep up (that is a story for another day though.).  I am thoroughly confused.  I thought I lived in VIRGINIA, not Connecticut.  Let me say that again, just in case Mother Nature needs me to slow down a bit…VUR-GIN-YA, not CON-NET-I-CUT.  Cold weather is more than welcome….in December. Or January.  But this, this is ridiculous.  I haven’t even picked up my winter coats from the dry cleaner yet.  Give me the chance to do that first, ok? 

Moving on…

I have been fighting something all week….not sure what, but it makes me randomly tired and I have a lovely voice that only my family can appreciate (read:  I cannot talk.).  So, this morning Shane and Trevor took over breakfast duties…

Delicious!…I am pretty sure it is the aprons.  Shane had one too, but will not allow me to share the photos. 

And now Shane has it in his head that he wants to head downtown to the farmer’s market (?!?!)…Off to locate the ice scrapers!      Happy Saturday!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year!  Like last year, we met up with the Settars and Chase and Trev spent the night together. 

Before we went out, we did carve our pumpkin…

Trevor was not a fan of sticking his hands inside the pumpkin.  It’s DINOSAUR time!!

All Saints Day Celebration

Continuing the tradition we started last year, Amy and I dressed up for our R.E. All Hallows Eve celebration yesterday morning.  And because I love sharing my humiliating moments on here, below is a picture of us in our costumes: 

Amy is St. Therese of Lisieux and I am Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  We went with a nun theme this year……

BTW, see that the picture is a little fuzzy?  That is because Amy’s son took it and was laughing so hard that he couldn’t stand still….This is actually the best out of 4 takes. 

Friday Night Party!

Ok, so maybe it wasn’t a party, but Trevor still had an exciting evening this past Friday.  We invited his friend Chase over for the evening and the boys had a great time playing and having dinner at their own special table. 

 

Trevor’s Big Boy Room

Trevor has done a number on the wallpaper border in his room over the last several months, so last weekend we tore it down and did a quick makeover of his room.  We took it from baby turtle nursery to big boy in a day!  We are really happy with the way it turned out (so far)! 

We still have to get picture frames and put his name letters back up on the wall, but for now, it will do. 

P.S.  I made the curtains myself.  Susie Homemaker, whaaaaat?!

Catch Up

To catch me up, here are the highlights from my SD card, photo-dump style.
