Halloween Spirit

EEEEKKKK, it's the first day of October and now is the time to get ready for Halloween!

I don't know if you are like me but I need at least 10 Halloween shirts. Here are some oldies from Apple Blvd that I grabbed last year.  



Okay, I got THIS cute pullover last year from Target and it’s back again this year.  Yippeee!!! I may be wearing it today. I sized up because I wanted an oversized look.  I also found THIS and THIS one that may end up in my next Target pick up. 


This is my new shirt from Frogs and Frills that I got for $6!  It is a bella canvas shirt which means it is super soft.  I know it will be worn over and over this month!

I grabbed a couple of fun Halloween items from Target in late September. Glow stick necklaces, flashing pumpkin necklace, and a monster headband are necessities to get into the Halloween spirit. I love to use fun holiday plates for the kids and who are we kidding, me too!!!  Last year, I grabbed a fun tablecloth and used it the last few weeks and it really amped up the Halloween decor so I picked up the matching one to the paper plates. 

I also found a very cute monster garland that I plan to use in C's room.  I have a pumpkin garland from last year that I’ll use in D’s room. I am really excited about the little haunted house we will paint together (paints and brush included). There is so much fun in this picture that I can not wait to celebrate Halloween all month long! And, if you don't have a Halloween shirt....grab one! I promise, it will brighten your day and maybe even someone else's too.

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
