I love seeing the Halloween spin on traditional Easter candy. It amuses me to no end, and I think it is very creative.

Happy Father's Day!

These are my Mother's Day cards from last weekend. So happy to be so loved!

Happy Easter!

My lucky (not so) little lad. I thought I was going to do some fun stuff for St. Patrick's Day, but the ankle thing pretty much killed that. Maybe next year.

Luke's idea of a Valentine's Day dinner: Pizza Hut pizza, breadsticks, and freshly baked (though not from scratch) chocolate chip cookies (not pictured because they were baking at the time).

And I'm back at work today. I met DH for lunch and snapped a picture of this church decked out for the holidays on my way by. Simple greens and red ribbons, but so pretty.

Merry Christmas!!

I promised I would eventually get back to my "unfinished" Christmas lights. I made these bows myself from wired ribbon from the Dollar Store. I think they look wonderful, if I do say so myself.

When I saw this idea for Christmas donuts on Pinterest, I absolutely HAD to try it. The reindeer were easier and faster. Trying to get the mini chips placed and "to stick" on the powdered donuts proved more difficult than I anticipated. I still think they look adorable, though, and everyone loved them.

This year's tree. Funny, looks pretty much just like last year's tree (especially since it was never undecorated).

More Coke Box art at Kroger. I figured out the fire place while I was there. I didn't even "see" the candy canes on the sides until I was looking at the picture after I got home!

Our first time putting (more than a lone(ly) strand of) lights on the house! They look a little like they're missing something, though. I have an idea. Let's see if I can execute it on what's left of my decorating budget. Time will tell!

This is how you (well, I) plan a Christmas menu. Small yellow rectangles say the meals/items to be cooked, pink things need to be prepped on that day (like thawing or marinating) in order to be ready for later, and orange things need to be actually cooked in advance (like bake cookies or browning meat to be used later in the crock pot).

Not a great picture, since I didn't have a "real" camera with me, just my phone. This is one of the lights in the open covered area in front of the Fox Theater, all decked out for Christmas. I passed by it on my way back to work from lunch with my contracting company representative. I'm hoping to take Luke to the Fox for the first time (well, with us, he's been with the school) sometime in the new year.

Since I have some new lights to put up on the front of the house (pictures later, I'm sure), I moved our lone garland strand from the front door to the back door. It makes me smile when I come home!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Luke, admiring his carving handiwork from scouts last night.

We picked out a pumpkin for pumpkin carving at scouts tomorrow. I absolutely love this picture (even if it was taken with my cell phone).
