Hall-Elle-Ween

October is finally almost over which means we are getting super close to my favorite holiday. I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! Call me crazy or just a big kid at heart, but I love getting the whole family dressed up and spending the evening trick or treating. I haven't really decorated this year, but I am thinking that whenever my boss decides that I can have a day off again (*hint, hint boss man) I think I will try to get some creepy decorations up in this place lol. I've been trying to find a great big orange trash bag to turn into a front door pumpkin but so far no luck. I also would love to make what looks like a dead man hanging in the tree right out by the front porch, but I am worried about trying to stuff it with something that can get wet if it rains..... maybe newspaper would work. I am also planning on making some bats to hang between our dinning room and living room. Pintrest is my best friend right now!!! My children have started looking at what they want to be this year, Jay has changed his mind about 6 times now, but I think we might be getting close to figuring something cool out. We have searched the Party City web page and tried to find something they would like to be. Even Zach said mom we have all of these, and they were less than impressed with the few that they don't already have so we are really leaning towards making our own this year. Zach has of course picked out something super creepy. Every year he wants to be scarier and scarier and this year is the worst yet. Here is the picture behind the idea he is working with......

I am loving this fall time weather that we have been having the last few days. Makes me want to stock up on some new long sweaters and pull out my boots and leggings. I am a huge fan of the fuzzy boots, I have like 6 pairs in different colors and heights. I don't care if they ever go out of style I am still wearing them because I think it is such a beautiful look and I actually get complements from strangers (usually men) : )

So I am not sure if I have mentioned it or not, but I work with an awesome group of people. I enjoy all the laughing we do all day, all the jokes, all the funny things that go on, on a daily basis. For example today I had a man come in and he was laughing and joking with everyone standing there and all the sudden he got this serious look on his face and he said to me "sweetheart I got a question for you.... are those your teeth?"  !!!!! What??!!! All I could do is look at him wide eyed and say "yeah they are my teeth, who else's teeth would I have??" I could hear the two guys standing behind me snickering. The man smiled and said "no I mean they are yours right?" I couldn't help it I busted out laughing and said "Yes they are mine, no braces, no retainer, no work at all." He did tell me that they were beautiful and I had a very nice smile. I have never worked somewhere that a strange man would walk in and ask if I had real teeth lol. And the inside joke at work is put some water on it! Everyone in the place says it all day long any time something goes wrong. It came from rub some dirt on it and it turned into put some water on it. Crazy bunch of people. I have honestly enjoyed working at this job almost as much as I loved my girls at TRKA when it was Amber, Starr, Candace, Pam and of course Lisa. I felt like we were a family and this place is starting to feel really close to the same, and I am happy to go to work every day. 

Well we have submitted the paper work to buy our first house ever! I am excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully we will get approved quickly!!! : ) Everyone cross your fingers, say a prayer or whatever it is you do to send me some good vibes. I will be so happy to move into our new home, in fact I saw them start moving a new house in yesterday on the lot that we would like to have : ) It's amazing what a little over a year can bring in someone's life when they decide to change the direction it is going in and start over.
