Ok, in the years past we've done tons and tons of candy and cheap little dollar tree items or things from the dollar aisle at Target. This year, I was determined to do better. My kids are playdoh obsessed so I bought a case of it to split between them. I also bought figurines from some of their favorite shows or little toys. Ben got Scooby Doo, Sydney got Littlest Pet Shop, Rylie got Peppa Pig, and Scottie got Disney princess. I do need to try and find chocolate coins. That is their favorite and they always get them from Santa, but that might be pretty close to the only candy that they get. They just don't really eat that much candy. They love it but get side tracked, and lets be honest, they don't need the sugar, especially with all the other cookies and such around at Christmas. I also got the big girls two plush Disney Princesses each, Ben a plush Olaf, and Scotland one plush Disney Princess. This year I was determined to not get a bunch of stuff I'll be throwing away a week after Christmas, and I think I accomplished that.
Woke up to a nice cold, fall day this morning. When I did the school run this morning it was a whole 37 degrees. Brrrrr!!!

Monday - Sunny, 74 Tuesday - Partly cloudy, 63 Wednesday - Sunny, 57 Thursday - Sunny, 70 Friday - Sunny, 75 Saturday - Partly cloudy, 72 Sunday - Storms, 73 On the breakfast plate this morning:::: Busy day today, so Shawn picked up Starbucks on his way home from the gym. I'm eating a turkey bacon and gouda sandwich and drinking my venti mocha with 2 pumps of pumpkin spice. As I look outside my window::: The sun is shining so bright and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The leaves are just starting to change. We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast. As I look around
