Halloween Wrap Up

I spent the first of the month decorating the house for Halloween. Here are a few pictures. 

I also made Sally a few spooky lunches.

We also started wearing some of our Halloween clothes...why not right?!

We made caramel apples and watched a bunch of our favorite spooky movies and shows. 

The weekend before Halloween, Sally woke up and had a spooky breakfast and that night we attended Zoo Boo. She had a ball!

On Thursday, Sally had her party at school. She woke up and told me she wanted to be a ballerina, so that is what she was. We sent in mummy treats for her classmates, soap for her teachers and she also got a spooky lunch.  

That night we carved pumpkins. Sally really wanted a My Little pony pumpkin so Joe did his best :)

Sally was a little more hesitant this year about pulling out the pumpkin guts. 

The Friday night before Halloween we attended Trick or Treating at Fed Ex. The girls had so much fun!!

After that we changed costumes and headed over to the Germantown Halloween Festival. 

On Halloween night we had some friends over for chili and trick or treating. It had rained all day so I was worried we wouldn't be able to go out but the rain quit just in time and we had a blast!

I just love doing all the "extra" fun stuff when it comes to holidays. I love doing it and Sally loves getting to experience it :)

A Little Catch Up

Life has been crazy busy over here lately. There is just no other way around it. 

I cant believe I have let my blog posts get so far behind...I still need to recap disney trip, beach trip, halloween, etc.

I think I'm going to start at the present and work my way back. Somehow that seems less intimidating.

My bestie, Kristy, is pregnant and I got to throw up baby shower this past weekend in the Nashville area. 

It was also fun to see our baby showers throughout the years...friends for 15 years!!

I LOVE my new sign from etsy. It looks great in our breakfast area!

Its from Between You and Me Signs.

Although I love Christmas and I have already started shopping, I am not forgetting about Thanksgiving. We are starting some new traditions this year and Im pretty excited about it.

Sally went to her first Tigers game this weekend and looked so cute dressed in a cheerleading outfit!

A Little Announcement

No Tricks.....just a treat. Sally is sharing something sweet!

This was the announcement I put on Instagram and Facebook on Halloween. 

I am pregnant!! While it wasn't a surprise, it did happen sooner than I thought it would. I am so thankful that its been a great pregnancy so far! I feel like I am so behind with all my posts...I still need to share about our Disney trip, beach trip, Halloween, etc. I will try to get caught up over the next few weeks.

Pigtails and Crewcuts

A few weeks ago we went to check out Pigtails and Crewcuts. Its a children's salon that just recently opened up in Germantown. Sally hadn't had her hair cut in over a year so we were excited!

Sally was ready and jumped right up into a cute little vintage fire truck. They had a few other options available too. They put a cute smock on her and the stylist got to work. She was so very patient with Sally who kept trying to move her head to look at herself in the mirror :)

While Sally was getting beautiful, I looked around the shop. I love all the cute touches, like the fabric banner at the front desk!

There is a play area with a train table and toys in case a sibling has to wait another to get finished. 

There is a room towards the back that they use for parties. Yes, you can have a party at Pigtails and Crewcuts.  Check out info for that here. 

They also have some retail in the front of the store...lots of cute toys, bows, accessories and products for the kids. 

Miss Sally was having a good time!! You could tell she was loving getting pampered. 

When she was done, the stylist gave her a ribbon for her hair, a sucker and a bag of animal cookies. She also got to pick something from the treasure box before she left. Kids will LOVE this!!

Sally did a great. I cannot say enough great things about Pigtails and Crewcuts! The stylist was so nice and patient, the salon was clean, colorful and kid friendly and Sally loves her new haircut.
