Resistance.Is.Futile....

Aggghhhhhhhh! Run away, run away!!!!!


Halloween Candy



Halloween Candy


Seriously, I have a very hard time resisting temptation. I don't generally buy candy, cookies, cake, soda....ok pretty much anything to do with sweets because I KNOW I'll eat it if it's in the house.
Honey bought bags & bags of candy last night to hand out to the trick or treaters (hopefully) coming tomorrow night. Now all of this "temptation" is calling to me. I swear I can hear it saying, "eat me...eat me...."

Yes I admit it, I've had about five already. :o(
It's even harder to resist when I'm sick since all I wanna do is reach for comfort food...er...um...candy?

The only one who wants the candy more than me? THE CANDY MONSTER!

Halloween night can't get here fast enough. Take my candy, please!

Pumpkin Patch 07

So even though I've been sick as a dog....again...we braved the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. I loaded myself up with Dayquil, told Honey we were going "no matter what" and we drove the 45 minutes it takes to get to the beautiful Love Creek Apple Orchard which is hosting their annual Pumpkin Patch. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and that's not easy to come by in Texas. :o)
Here are some highlights from the day:




This lone beauty was the last apple of the season in the whole orchard. I took this shot when we were on the hayride. Doesn't it look tempting?
I really wanted to pick it! *snicker*




Sugar would have walked all day if we'd let her. She had her own ideas about where she wanted to go too. Thankfully there were alot of distractions to slow her down.







Spice really wanted to hug & squeeze this baby chicken.




Of course we had to take some yummy kettle corn home with us. Doesn't it look scrumptious? As you can see we don't have alot left. :o) Tonight or tomorrow night we'll be carving that pumpkin in the pic.




Anyone else visit a Pumpkin Patch this October?
Is it an annual tradition?

Boys Will Be Boys!

I'm sure you've noticed I haven't been posting much lately. I've been focusing on family and holiday plans coming up but I'm ready to start getting back to the blogging world. Hopefully I'll keep it up. :oP
Again, thank you to everyone who has commented the last few weeks. I'm sorry I haven't been visiting you all as usual but I will try and visit as many of you as I can very soon. :o)

So my "boys" dug out the military strategy board game Risk a couple of weekends ago and Honey has been teaching Mr. Smarty Pants how to play. Our little "soldier" is obessed with anything military right now, especially the Army! He wears anything with camouflage, wants camouflage bedding, games, toys, etc for Christmas, is going to be an Army man for Halloween and plays military strategy games on his computer. And yes, he is only 6! He's very smart, hence the nickname, and can play PC games that Honey plays. They play Starcraft together too(a space war strategy game). It boggles my mind, since he couldn't really read too well when he first started playing these, that he knows about everything in the game, including things Honey didn't know even though he's played the game for years!

So anyway, getting back to Risk, I took a few shots the first time they played and thought I'd share.



I was lucky enough to find a vintage world globe for Mr. Smarty Pants at Goodwill a week ago. I went to drop off things we were donating but decided to take a peek and see if I could find any fun treasures. To my surprise this awesome globe was tagged at only $4! The base was loose but that was so easy to tighten. I think it might be from the 70's? Anyone know? Mr. Smarty Pants has been wanting one ever since falling in love with Pawpaw's antique globe so I just had to pick it up for him. What do you think?
