Truly one of the best days of my life.
One of the most beautiful couples on Earth.
The most adorable flower girls, in cowgirl boots, ever.
Father Daughter dance at it’s best.
Love.
Rock concert or wedding?
(Maggie’s still clinching tight to her mason jar beer mug!)
Four sisters.
All married.
The perfect ending to the perfect day?
A stacked White Castle wedding cake.
I love my family.
Today was the revealing of the Happy Day project.
It was inspired by this random act of kindness post, and I can’t wait to be a part of all the goodness.
I love using my blog to inspire people to spread joy, and that is exactly what The Happy Day project will do.
Here are the deets:
Won’t you please join me?
Link up over here and help spread happiness and love.
We carved pumpkins Sunday night, finally, after weeks of the girls asking when we’d get to do it.
Each grew got to draw their own faces this year. Mia was ready to scoop out the guts!
(Of course Sophie’s had eyelashes.)
Our resident carver.
Gracie went for all circles this year.
Last night was Halloween!
We had a scary vampire, a sweet little Ducky and a pretty peacock!
My sister Maggie came over with her fiancé Austin and brought the girls some goodies.
She also helped add some wire to Sophie’s much requested “stick-up-in-the-air braid.”
Can you tell how much they love their Aunt Maggie?
Spooktacular!
A close up of Mia’s scary make-up.
Peacocks get make-up too!
Quack!
Loading up in Dad’s trailer for our hay ride through our hilly neighborhood….. minus the hay.
Ready to roll!
The whole gang!
Hope you all had a very happy Halloween!
*Here’s a sneak peek at tomorrow’s post from my sister Maggie’s costume couples shower this past Saturday at my house……
Can you can you guess who we all went as?
Who doesn’t love a little spooky Halloween decor?
I sure do! And for $4, you should too.
What you’ll need:
1.) One old window (selected from the two I’ve had sitting in my computer room for weeks waiting for a fun project) that your sweet sister gave you when her house was being renovated.
Or, if you don’t have a stellar sister getting a brand new rad house, then you can also find old windows at garage sales, on Craigslist or antique shops for really cheap.
2.) Some super cute Martha Stewart Halloween themed “clings” that are on sale for 40% off.
Stick the removable and reusable clings on the window glass….
…add some cheesecloth on the corner of the window to look like spider webs
(then later make super cool ghosts to dangle on your chandy using something new to me, Stiffy)
..and top things off by ordering a super fun dangly spider runner off eBay for $10 with free shipping.
Viola.
Spooky. Fun. Festive.
For $4.
Have fun!
I’m in hiding.
Not by choice.
The culprit?
A nasty, fast-spreading stomach bug.
At least I have these three “pumpkins” to make me laugh.
Along with…
good food…
good books…
good friends who post funny things on my Facebook wall….
new projects…..
and of course, the St. Louis Cardinals to cheer for in the World Series!!!
Hope you are having a happy and HEALTHY week!
Go Cards!
