Halloween At the Zoo

Boo At the zoo is an annual even that's put on every year- Last year was our first year and i had a blast! To be completely honest, i usually HATE events with kids. Mini me will tell ANYONE :" my mom doesnt like kids" its true and i'll tell you why- KIDS THESE DAYS ARE OUT.OF.CONTROL! This event went so smoothly, i can say i think I had the most fun out of everyone! Here's some pictures to re- cap the night. Wish ya'll had been able to share it with us--- And yes, it was warm enough to wear tank tops! That's the south for ya!This year, our neighbor came with us... next year we'll get her husband to come too! He missed out, BIG time-
Lil Muffin was Orphan Annie this year- i had the lady that made their rehearsal dinner dresses for my best friends wedding make their costumes. The lady pulls thru every time.. i just LOVE her to bits!

Sitting in line waiting for the Zoo doors to open - our neighbor said that the husband dressed up as a UGA college student. LOL


Taking lil muffin to the Zoo this time was memorable. She actually GETS it this time and was awestruck! her mouth was just open the whole night, i actually thought she may be getting sick she was so quiet soaking it all in! ;)


Watching the parrot

These are the vulchers that mini me is pointing to in the picture below-


Special moment i caught randomly- shes SUCH a good big sister

Sitting with daddy on the carousel- i ran trying to get a picture and heard lil muffin SCREAMING: " No, THANK YOU!" she was TERRIFIED to get on the horse, so i quickly came up with the solution for them to SIT on the ride.. worked like a charm
FAMILY shot of the nite with Pumpkin in background--- along with my PASTY white skin, enough to scare ANYONE!

Mini Me and Me
My Neighbor again-- our neighbors are like our family out here, we're SO blessed to have them in our lives!

Mini me HATES having her picture taken, so i caught her in action doing what she loves to do- DANCING! shakin it to the song, do the TWIST"- at the end of the zoo, they have a dancing area, and a DJ with smoke and lights everywhere.. our FAVE part!!!


Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- look at this lil moment- Daddy was trying to dance with her and i got her attitude on camera and boy am i glad i did. PRICELESS!!! this face is a common occurrance around our house!



Hope ya'll enjoyed this years pictures--- we still have the Halloween party on Saturday and i know i'll have many pictures from that event. Ive NEVER thrown a Halloween party so am exceptionally excited about it this year. We're SHUTTIN the street down! ( not even kidding!) .... Wish my greenville BFF and Pink Owl didnt have to work that night.. we'll miss you guys!

Halloween Already?

It is at my house!!!
i had to decorate on a budget this year- and with this year being the first at the new house, i got to start from scratch, really!!! We live around A TON of trees so i got the idea to find sticks.. ( i'm known for having a love of sticks in my house) Lemme tell you, i looked like a FREAK walking down the street with all these tree limbs. No lie i had a few neighbors laugh at me. Its alright, the porch is pretty and that's all that matters!
I went with what i recently bought..
* i found those awesome crows @ dolla tree- a BUCK! I also found some @ michaels, much bigger, but 8 bucks.. WAYYYYY too much!
* i bought all 3 of those pumpkins @ Michaels for 40% off- i think all three for 20 bucks, give or take a few bucks.
* green skull- it was white, @ Dolla tree that i used spray adhesive and green glitter for
the sticks on the bench wouldnt stay and with all the rain and wind storms we've had, couldnt not have them secure. So, i used a flower pot i had and added loose rock from next to our house to secure it.. its called being resourceful!!! I think between everything, i only spent 28 bucks!!! pretty darn good! i'll be adding some more cob webs- Mini me says i dont decorate scary enough..
Hit up your dolla tree and see what ya'll can find!!! Im tellin ya those crows are my FAVE this year!
