[love] Costume Preview

Yes,  I make my husband and dogs dress up for Halloween. This year, we are having a Trunk or Treat at our church again (food from the church and candy from our car trunks that are decorated and such: click here to see our fun plus the pups' costumes from last year). However, Nate has been slacking for the last couple of years on the costume front. I have just been festive and have worn orange and black... but THIS year, we are stepping up our game. Not to full-fledged costumes (I'm not that brave) but we will have a theme and we will all coordinate. YES NATE, WE WILL.

My inspiration from Pinterest via My Sunshine Photography:

I wanted to dress up as the full-fledged gang from "The Wizard of Oz" but Nate nixed the idea of dressing up as the Tin Man or a Scarecrow (obviously I would have been Dorothy and Oliver would have been Lion... obviously). So when I suggested this idea and that he merely wear a shirt with "oh my" on it, he was game. Stay tuned in the next few weeks to see how I steal borrow this amazing idea!

Happy Tuesday!

[photoaday] Week Forty

Busy busy busy week and weekend! I haven't posted since Wednesday... oops! But it'll be alright. Here's a glimpse of my past week!

[psst: if you take photos this week, use my button on your blog post and leave me a comment on THIS post with the link to YOUR blog post with your photos.... that's not confusing at all, is it? once you do that (and assuming you're a follower of mine), I will feature your blog one time with a few of your photos! remember, sharing is caring :)]

[sunday] Our visit to Warrenton! It is here where we bought our amazingly antique-from-the-1880s dining room table that seats up to 10 people. Beautiful! Don't let this picture fool you. This antique/treasures show goes on for m-i-l-e-s.

[monday] Speaking of my beautiful table, here it is! Eight and a half feet long... bring on the dinner parties and events!

[tuesday] Fall plants, yay! I am so ready for those mums to bloom a beautiful rust color!

[wednesday] My main squeeze and our two darlings with him. A common event at our household.

[thursday] Guess who visited Kindergarten on Thursday?! She did so good!

[friday] Love my sisters in Christ! Diamond Belles are "like" a sorority (we are a social club that helps out with baseball primarily, but also other athletic events and teams), although now it is a full-fledged sorority. During my time at DBU, we didn't have sororities or fraternities, but apparently after I graduated, all sorts started up and now they have a Rush week and everything. It's nice to know that Belles were the "originals" :) Although I am bummed I am missing our 10 year reunion (we were established in 2002, I was a Belle from 2005-2009 at DBU) because I am in a wedding, I was so excited to receive this invite in the mail!

[saturday] No picture. Too busy cleaning, organizing the house, and then having dinner with friends!

[today- sunday] First all-day cool-day in Texas (high was 64, ha!) equals me wearing my boots!!! Happy fall, Y'ALL!

Have a great week, everybody! I need to share a house tour this week... Possibly a video IF I can work up the courage to hear my own voice recorded (I sound like I'm 7) and figure out how to do it on my MacBook :)
