Friday Favorites - November 4


It's time for our Friday linkup with Erika, Narci and Andrea!

 T- One of my favorites from the past week was trick-or-treating with my girls.  My husband could not come because he had to work, so it was our first time venturing out without him on Halloween.  In our neighborhood, we have "Halloween street" where everyone goes all out with the Halloween spirit!  It is so much fun!  We did not have anything like that in my old neighborhood.
Here they are in front of the main "Halloween House" on the street.

One family had a cotton candy machine in their driveway and gave out fresh cotton candy!

T-Another event this week was my youngest daughter's theater showcase.  They worked on a musical production of The Nutcracker.  It may be early to watch a Christmas show, but it was an awesome show!  I love watching my girls being braver than I ever could have been at their age.  My daughter knew all of her lines and sang her heart out.  The artistic director told me she is quite a little actress. Proud mom moment!

T- Another favorite from this week is one of my guilty pleasures...donuts!  A parent at my school brought donuts to school from my absolute favorite place to have donuts...Duck Donuts!  They melt in your mouth.  After a crazy week of teaching in the days following Halloween, donuts were just what I needed! They have several locations.  Check out the link above to see if there is a store near you.  You will not be disappointed!

T- This is going to receive some mixed reactions, but I was excited for the return of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel!  I love to sit in my bed and do school work while listening to one of the movies.  Yes, many of the movies are a bit cheesy, but they are generally cute stories that have a happy ending.  They are also movies that you can watch with children around and not have to worry that they will see something inappropriate.  Check out this link to learn more: http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/christmas

S- As mentioned yesterday, one of my favorites this week was our experiences with Rockie, Elliot's class dog. ICYMI here are a few of those pictures. Just so, darn cute.




My 2nd Favorite was Halloween!

First up, pumpkin carving/decorating!


Costumes!

Will wore this costume for school. Then he lost the battery pack for the fan that inflated the dinosaur, so for trick or treating, he went as Harry Potter!


Some fun Decorations on our route!



Favorite #3
I agree with Trina! Anything Christmas, but especially Hallmark Movies! And Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks! 

Tis the season! Already! It is exciting and terrifying all at the same time! I love the decorations and activities, but the pressure of getting everyone the perfect gift without spending your life's savings! Scary! Ha!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...

Friday Favorites! September 23rd

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The  Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for ...

Hey everybody!!  Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts:  Allie over at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell  and  Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time!
