October Break

We love to make sugar cookies with our Porter cousins & got together over October break. My favorite was the Doctor Octavious aka supposed to be a spooky spider :) Don't you just love the sprinkles and frosting colors? I kinda wish sometimes that I was a professional cookie decorator. Here's our cousins TJ, Natalie, Elaina, Tyler, Maddie & my girls

The Nacho

Hhmmmmm well I guess you all think I'm totally weird or else just my husband is totally weird because I was kidding about Lee's costume. I don't know if your husbands are better at dressing for the holiday but mine has yet to don a costume. :( I told him last year that I'd make an Elf costume but I think the green tights were a little too forward for him. Do your husbands dress up? If so please include pictures. If not, maybe you could throw over a few suggestions of something hilarious but not too naked for Lee to become. (ie. he wanted to be Nacho Libro but he has more of the build of Escileto than Nacho. Elf would be hilarious, but I don't know how I feel about green tights for his pants)

Choosing a Costume

After much thought and consideration Lee has finally decided what he wants to be this year for Halloween:
He's decided to model his costume after this kind gentleman I met while in Hawaii. I hope he shows as much leg. I couldn't be happier :)

Handy's Brother

So I've finally finished(for the moment) my Halloween Table. Whenever I decorate or make a project I kind of just use what ever I have around the house, so sometimes it takes me awhile to finish. Notice the lack of trick or treat candy in my jars. That would be thanks to my husband. I ate like two candies and Lee still has smaller thighs than I do. (he might kill me for saying that :)
Only 22 more days till Halloween Night!

Shoppin the TOP shelf

So like almost EVERY single day I eat the same thing for lunch. You would think I would get tired of it, but I really don't. I love love love salad and make it tons of different ways, so technicly(i am the worst speller) its different. This weekend we went to Jason's deli with Corri & Becca and the husbands and I forgot how amazing their salad bar is! I was inspired to try some new stuff on my salad and it was amazing! So I went to the grocery and got the new salad accessories. I found out the grocery stores hide ALL of their best products on the TOP shelf. I don't know, but they may be prejudice against short people(thankfully I am a full 5' 10") Why would they put the best products just above eye level?! So here's my amazing salad for today. Its the usual spinach greens then the deliciousness: feta w/ red bell pepper & garlic, artichokes quartered, kalamata olives and basalmic vinigrette. Pretty much a party in your mouth. I also threw a picture of Eden in for good mesure. She was coloring a picture of Elmo for Pickles(aka delia)

confessions of a house-wife

I'm having an affair. There I've said it. I feel so much better now.

I met him at the public library of all places. I don't know.... he just makes me feel sooo good :)
But its ok, my husband is ok with it ;) I love the men in my life.

the adventures of a weekend

So on Saturday my wonderful sisters and I went to this super fun and cute boutique,



where I found this fabulous bird cage. I had been looking for some kind of bird cage to put in Eden's room and this was exact-o-mundo what I pictured! And I didn't mind that it was marked half off too :)
We found so many cute things at the Junque sale! They had the cutest jewelry and amazing clothes by She She Frock, a company that totally rocks (amazing prices too!) I'm so glad Laura heard about this cutest ever sale and hope they keep having them! Next time I'll let you know about it too! So perfect in the historic district of Mesa!
