what i'm loving wednesday.

1. Halloween fun..... I went to a Halloween/Birthday party for a little three yr old friend of mine on Halloween night. We had an outdoor fire, went trick or treating, had some really good dinner, then had candy and birthday cake for dessert! There was lots of kids who I love there and it was so fun to watch them excitedly run from house to house!

(My bro-in-law's costume was AMAZING! He was a wizard but the funny part is that he is 6'3" and in this costume his face goes in the hat! I kept talking to the costume face all night which was actually his stomach/chest and it was awkward!)

 My niece the witch!

2. NOVEMBER 1st already........ BRING ON THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! When do y'all like to start listening to it? I really want to download Michael Buble's new Christmas album. Maybe I will do that today and listen to it as I take down my Halloween decorations!

 3. I finished my book for book club, which is tonight, on time!! Maybe I finished last night at 11:00 last night but that's okay! We read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson. It was interesting. I am not sure what I thought about it..... it was captivating and at the end I didn't want to put it down, but also was kind of intense with lots of disturbing things (I won't get into in case you want to read it) that usually aren't my top choice reading topics. I give it a 4 out 5 stars, I think. Before this book we read The Help.... which I loved! Two very different books so I am excited to see what we choose for next month!!

4. E and I go to CALI for Thanksgiving in exactly three weeks!!!!! So excited!! Mostly there are TONS of restaurants we used to go to all the time when we lived there that we are super excited to go back to. Also, a few towns too, but why does it seem that your strongest memories involve FOOD?? Better hit the gym hard for the next few weeks!

5. I got my Erin Condren planner in the mail yesterday..... LOVE!!!!!

(not my planner... but I got this design!)

6. I added a few baby bows to my etsy shop. I want to add some more but need to find the time!! How cute does baby Paige look rocking her Dixie Bell Designs though?? So cute, right? 

 (not sure why she is a Steelers fan since she live in Boston!!)

(Halloween themed bow... I think she likes it!)
