All Things Halloween

Now that I am a week late on posting this, here are some fun things we did for Halloween:

First of all, Troy was a dinosaur for Halloween and he had soooo much fun "rawring" (is that how you would spell that?!?!) like a dinosaur. His grandparents came to town for the weekend and we loved having them here for trick-or-treating. Troy was a champ! He tried stopping a few times to eat the candy that he got, but we were able to rally and finish our route! He was scared of a few costumes and would cry out and hid, but otherwise he had a lot of fun!

Here Troy is with his Grandpa! <3

Our first-ever carved pumpkin! I traced out the face and my hubby (being who my hubby is) carved it with an air saw!

Turned out pretty cute!

Here we are, just starting the fun!

And after!

Earlier in the week, during our homeschool preschool lessons, we created ghost footprints. Thanks to Pintrest for the idea! I wish I had done this on a canvas! Maybe next year Ill pull this out and just frame it and make a different one on canvas next year.

Troy is also very into Daniel Tiger, so when I was at Target, I bought this cute Halloween Daniel Tiger book. I also incorporated this book into our lessons for the week. You can also get this book on Amazon

Troy and his friend helped me to make my favorite Pumpkin Bread as well! They loved helping to mix the ingredients, crack the eggs, and of course, EAT IT! I will post that recipe soon and link it up here. 
While Troy's grandparents were here, I also made pumpkin cinnamon rolls, recipe courtesy of Mix and Match Mama. It was delicious!!! I didn't use nearly as much of the sugar mixture and will cut back on the amount of the pumpkin puree next time, but oh my goodness...it was delicious!! Thanks Shay for the recipe! Go follow her if you haven't! She recently spoke at my MOPS meeting and was fabulous! She has all sorts of great recipe ideas and super cute outfit posts! 

What did you do for Halloween? Post pics and comments! I love reading them!!

Boots!!!

I have a new favorite thing...my boots!! I have NEVER owned a pair of authentic cowboy boots and finally splurged and got my first pair a couple of weeks ago (born and raised in Texas...so let's take a  moment and raise your cowboy hats to the fact that I now own my own pair after 32 years!)! Y'all, I am ob-sessed with these adorable boots!! I got them from The Boot Barn (to which my 2.5 year old laughed at..."Me: I'm going to pick up my new boots from The Boot Barn!" Son: "A barn?" Me: "No, a Boot Barn." Troy: "Hehe, that's silly!") Anyway, they are Ariat brand, and I think it's the Alabama Western Boots.



I LOVE them! When I bought them they were on sale for $99! You can get them online here

My outfit:
Top: Target
Purse: Target, not available online that I can find
Scarf: Gift, not sure where
Boots: Ariat
Jeans: Forever 21

Do you own a pair of boots? I'd love to see them below in the comments!!

Have a blessed Sunday Y'ALL! :)
