I will write more later. Today we are working on the ghosts in the yard. And tonight is Girls Night Oooooouuuuut!!!!
Followed by The Husband’s B’s and G’s and a lazy laundry day on Sunday!
I’ve got some posts in the draft stage including one I’m mulling over about me crossing the age when my Mom died line in 10 days on the 18th.
I’ve taken on a huge 3rd project at work and have to find ten extra hours in my week for work. That ten hours has to come from somewhere and so far it seems to be coming off running and writing. This is no good. I need to refocus on the run as I committed to running a half in early November. But haven’t even signed up yet, let alone trained properly.
Still my family is happy and intact. That makes me feel so blessed every day.
Have a great weekend lovies. I might end up with some time to tell you a story before it is over.
Best,
Lola

It’s getting kind of spooky around here

The final pumpkin baby verdict. Quads!

The Destroyers Birthday is coming very soon. He will be 6 and he has always loved spooky things. When he was a toddler he would turn all the lights out during dinner and proclaim that we were playing “dark spaces” . His favorite shirts to wear each year are his Halloween Spooky shirts. He starts wearing as soon as he can in the Fall and stops when the weather changes and he has no choice. Thank goodness fashion has skulls in right now because he is completely outfitted in skull/spooky shirts for his wardrobe. I’ve had these Dept 56 Halloween Houses for years, and each year he begs for them to be put up as soon as possible. I usually do it inside before or over Labor Day weekend and then pretend we are really a normal family until October 1 when the outside stuff goes up. This year it’s all up now. Instead of the big Fall tree I did last year I put a a little Spooky Tree on the porch. There is more Fall decor for me to get up, but I’m done for now I think. I’ll switch it out to Fall only after Halloween because I finally get to have Thanksgiving wherever the hell I please this year and will be doing it at my house. It’s by no means a decorator show house job but I’m pretty pleased with it and I love sharing ideas for decor. If you do something really cool for fall please share!!
