Halloween and the week before.

I haven't updated yet to let everyone know about our Halloween. We had such a blast with Ben. We carved our pumpkins and went to KU to take pictures of all the pretty trees the weekend before. Ben loved the leaves and the fun on the campus.

He didn't really like the carving of the pumpkins so much though as he thought the insides were "yucky."

We decorated the house and made cookies to get the festivities going all week long.

On Halloween, we went to Shawn's parent's house and started chili in the crock pots and went to the Legends for trick or treating and some last minute costume piece purchasing. Later, we ate dinner chili and yummy cornbread, got all dressed up (Ben was a monkey, Shawn was Jerry the plumber, and I was Michelle Duggar) and went to my families house for my brother in laws 21st birthday party/Halloween party. Shawn and his siblings went to the haunted houses, and then we all met up in Paola for a party there.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for. I have pretty much everything a girl could want. I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now. I'm beyond obsessed. Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations. I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies. I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley! I'm so in love with Vera Bradley. I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house. I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014. If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about. When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees. I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold. It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees. When I was younger it was the parking lot. There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to. We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences. My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought. We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree. As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot. We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
