Belated Halloween

So I am a little behind. I don't get much done when my little pumpkin, Aubriella always wants held. I know bad habit but I go back to work in two weeks and will miss her so much.
Keeping up with the Halloween Fall tradition we went to a local pumpkin patch. We ended up going to the same place that we went to last year since we liked it so much. Last year it was warmer out and not as busy. This year we didnt do the corn maze. Also due to our weather this past summer there was a lot of GREEN pumpkins.

We ended up buying a bunch of pumpkins but never got around carving them. We may still do them just so they dont go to waste.

On Halloween I took Aubriella to my mom's house for "trick or treating". We didn't get there until after trick or treating was done. We really were just going to visit. My mom got her a couple of books instead of candy, since she can't have and doesn't need any candy. We also went down to my aunts house to show her off. Here's my little froggie

I also never did any decorating this year. Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween.

Falling Leaves

This past Saturday is was gorgeous outside. It wasn't to cold, fall is kicking in, and the leaves are changing colors. With being cooped up in the house all day with a newborn I wanted/needed to get out of the house for a little bit. David had to make a run out to work for something he forgot. We decided to go as a family and just take a drive. Instead of taking the main roads we ended up taking the back roads ands looking scenery and multi colored leaves. I was sure to feed Aubriella before we left since hubby works 40 minutes away. She also does very well in the car and normally sleeps the whole time.

After our drive and sight seeing David had plans in the garage. Aubriella and me decided to go hang out at my parents house. It gave me a little break since my parents enjoy holding and playing with her and don't get to see her to often. While there I decided to take a few pictures with their Halloween decorations. I also brought some leaves in the house and set up a little area in the rocking chair.

She kept "petting" the side of Caspers face.

I just love her face here.

Hot In Cleveland

It's been very hot in Cleveland and I don't mean the show. Hot and pregnant don't mix very well either. Due to the heat and only having a window air conditioning unit I have been spending all my time in my room. This really isn't anything to different it just sucks that if I wanted to go sit outside, which I normally do every day for a little bit, it is just to dang hott.
So how hot is hot? Today isn't as hot as yesterday but here are today's stats.

It suppose to stay hot and humid here for the next couple of days. It will be more air conditioning jumping and staying hydrated. I don't want/need to end up back in the hospital again because of the heat.

Friday- I work tonight, not so fun. Then get to come home and figure out some bills.
Saturday- Go pick up my crib. Work during the middle of the day from 2 to 6. Stop by a friends birthday party who I haven't seen in a while. Come home and get ready for Sunday.
Sunday- Work early in the morning. Come home and vacuum, take food out of the house, and get the house ready to be bombed. We have fleas and can't seem to get rid of them. We also have to bath the cats again and do the yard.

Winter Not So Wonderland

I love snow. It is so pretty and makes it brighter outside. I don't like to being to cold though and I am not one to go out there and play in it. Occasionally I do have the urge to go sledding though.
I only love it though when I don't have to be out driving it in. I use to work 10 minutes from the house, all main side roads. In June I switched jobs and have to take the highway to work. Today was my first time driving in the wonderful snowy, windy, freezing, on the high way to work. I'm not a big fan. On the highway (which is 2 lanes) was barely plowed and you were following in the tracks of the person ahead of you.

Disclaimer: this was taken while driving but just holding the camera and clicking it not looking at the camera. Was paying full attention to the crappy road.

It normally takes me like 16-20 minutes to get to work. Today it took me a little over a half an hour. I left my house early with plenty of time to spare. Here's what my work parking lot looked like. They had somewhat plowed but didn't salt anything.

I ended up only working 4 hours today (was scheduled 7). We ended up closing the shop early since we were so dead. In that 4 hours we only have 4 customers. I came home and took and nap since I am feeling a bit under the weather.

Here's a sneak peak, hint of what is to come tomorrow

Red, Orange, Gold

For whatever reason this year I am really loving fall. I love the cooler weather, the smell, the colors, everything about it. I took a few minutes today and took some pictures around the yard.

I love these, whatever they are. They are green all year until now, they are this gorgeous red.

These are the two of the trees we have in the backyard. I am loving the orangey-gold and goldy reds. Are those even colors?

What do you love about Fall?

Fall Festivities

This weekend has been great and so much fun. I wish it never had to end. This is gonna be a long picture filled post, just thought I would for warn you.

Friday started bright and early for me. I got up did some last minute cleaning around the house. My friend Tracy and her mom arrived around 9:15 to get their hair done for the wedding. It took a little longer than expected, I forgot how thick Tracy's hair is.

I didn't get myself ready until after they left.

Here are pictures from the wedding. It was so much fun. They had a live jazz band playing the whole time. The ceremony was outside and the rain subsided right before it started.



Saturday I thought I had to work but it turned out I didn't. That meant I have a 3 day weekend. I could really get use to have off weekends. I would love a job that I didn't have to work weekends and could spend the time with my amazing husband and family.

After going to work and finding out I had off I came home and made pumpkin pancakes. Then my husband and I went to his parents house. We ended up running the streets with his dad. We left around 11, and didn't get home til like 4ish. We ended up eatting out at Chick Fil la. I know this totally goes again our 30 day challenge. So I changed the rules again. Since we were hungry and weren't going to be home for a while we had no real choice but to stop somewhere. So new rule is we can not eat out just because we are hungry and lazy and don't want to make anything.

When we were done running the streets we came home and took a nap. After waking up, one of my husbands friends stopped over for a little big. When they left we went and saw Easy A. It was a cute movie.

Sunday was a great day. I got up and made bacon and eggs for breakfast. Then I took a shower and started a grocery list. I also made pumpkin cake. At that time my husband was out cutting the grass. When the cake was done we ran to the grocery store, came home and unloaded, then went to my in-laws to pick up my niece for our pumpkin patch fun.

We went to Brassee's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. It was so much fun. They had 2 bouncy houses, a straw slide, corn pit, kids straw maze and kids corn maze, all for kids. Then they had a pitch black straw maze and 8 acre corn maze for adults (kids could also go through). They also had pumkins that were already picked for $4 and pick your own from the pumpkin patch for $1.50. We ended up doing the pick your own and getting 7 of them. This is going to be a new traidition to do each year of picking our own pumpkins.

Officially Fall

Today is the first official day of fall. It somewhat felt like it too. Here in Cleveland, Ohio it was a little cool this morning, then it warmed up into the 70's through out the day, now it is dropping back down to the 60's for tonight. Now then again tomorrows high is 89 not very fall like. Mother nature is a little confused on her temps again.
Since it is officially fall I got motivated to get all my fall decoration out. I don't have many. I only decorated the doors and the dining room. I want to get more still, and do a little outside.

Do you decorate for the different season or holidays?
