Running in Circles

One year I'll get totally into Halloween, but I just can't help it....its just not my favorite. Holidays are definitely more fun with kids and this year Hazel was so excited about all of it. 

All week she practiced saying "trick or treat" and "trunk-trick-treat" and I'm copper, can I have some candy?"

Brice gets ALL the credit for all the sewing done for these costumes- and i'll take credit for the hot gluing! 

We were able to go trick or treating in a close by neighborhood with some of our favorite friends. Its so fun to watch there kiddos together and were so grateful for the friends we've made here in Dallas. Our brave Hazel loved trick or treating and wasn't nervous about any of it, but she totally got spooked by a jumping spider that got her. She was in tears and pretty shaken up about it all night.

So, here's to a few more days of dessert after lunch/dinner and then I'm tossing the rest of the candy and maybe next year the whole family will get in character :) 

don't hold your breath though. 

 

Our apartment is only two bedrooms so this little baby boy will be sharing a space in our master room. Basically we have a wall and small corner to decorate as a "nursery." 

We're planning on using Hazel's white crib for the baby and buying her a twin bed sooner than later. I'm following a DIY tutorial for the banner and plan on hanging it above the crib.

I love the idea of a light mint crib sheet and love this print, but I'm not committing to anything quite yet.

Unfortunately our finances and lack of space don't allow for a glider, but if I got to choose one i'm leaning towards this neutral one. Lastly, that sweet swaddle blanket with pom-poms is definitely a purchase I will be making off Etsy!

Brice is back! woo-hoo! While he was hitting up a fancy schmancy convention and playing on Bourbon street..I spent an entire day shopping at IKEA, Home Goods, and TJ-Maxx. I finished up a few "decor projects" I've had in mind. I am learning that I really like decorating and find it a fun creative outlet. Also, probably ran too much while Brice was gone...60 miles last week... and am sore today after 12 miles and pilates. Welcome November...in 3 weeks we'll be in California!!
