The Halloween Party was a Success!

I will try to show you the decorations, foods, and activities we did.  My camera was dying - sad me - so I didn't get a lot of good pictures taken, but you can get the idea.
This is the ceramic jack-o-lantern that my mom painted back when we were kids.  I remember it at our house each fall season.  So when she gave it to me I loved bringing it out each year.  I will turn it around so you don't see the face during the Thanksgiving season so we can enjoy it even longer.

          My BFF made us this dirt cake - yum!  And Mark added the bones.  :)  All the food was delicious!
This is a ghost made of a tomato plant thingy and white sheet!

 Instead of bobbing for apples, they were on a string and you had to "catch" them with your mouth - no hands!
We had a fire outside to hang around so we could keep warm.
A surprise for Trent - he just turned 17!  The cake was a fire breathing pokemon!
 We served cold orange punch or hot cider!
 One of our activities was a pie eating contest.  Yup - they ate the whole thing!  Mark ate a chocolate cream pie, Ashley, Nicole, and Vanessa ate a banana cream pie, and Trent attempted a vanilla cream pie.


Our menu for the night was: chili, chips with onion dip and spinach dip, cupcakes, witches fingers, dirtcake, cake pops, witches hats. Guess we were a little heavy on the sweets!

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him!  I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season.  There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community.  I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them.  We painted - we started preparing for our celebrations.  Fun stuff. One evening we went to the boat parade.  Lots of pretty lights, fun decorated boats. and cold weather!  Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season.  We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women!  It was su...
