Decorating: Done!

I finished up my fall/Halloween decorating last night and I love it! I thought I would share:

The witch and 2 owls I found at THE BEST TJ Maxx I have been to in quite a while! It was in Everett and we stopped in after attending Bob's Aunt Mary's 85th birthday party on Saturday!

I just love the owls!

I love this owl toooooo! He's from Pier 1

And I couldn't forget this owl! Mom got this for me and as you can see with our recent fall like weather I have been using it for hot chocolate! Yum!

Happy Fall everyone!

Katie is cooking!

Yes, you did read the title correctly! Katie has not done a lot of cooking, unless you count Top Ramen, Mac and Cheese, and tuna melts as cooking. So we (Katie and I) came up with the idea that in order for her to be a little more prepared at cooking for herself and potentially others at college she would start making diner once a week! This was last night's dinner, carne asada, homemade rice and black beans, yum! The week before she made dinner for mom, dad, and Bob for his birthday (beef broccoli).

Goodbye Again!

They just get home and then they're gone again....I guess I have to get used to the fact that they were never really "mine"......

Maddy thought she wanted to go with and check out college life tooooo :)

New Shoes

 Old walking shoes

It might be hard to see how worn these shoes are, the right shoe even has a little hole where my toe is starting to escape out! These have served me well for OVER a year now....

New walking shoes!

I have been thinking and looking, looking and thinking about buying some for at least a month.

These bright colored Saucony walking shoes were finally purchased :)  It was a tough choice between the bRIghT orange and these.

I love them!
